Abstract
Pyrolysis apparatus (10) for processing shredded waste material, such as plastic and/or rubber waste, in which apparatus the material is processed continuously in a pyrolysis apparatus (10) that includes a feed device (30), a reactor (30) and an outlet portion (40) that have been equipped with conveyors, such as screw conveyors, and that can be used continuously. The screw (23) of the feed device (20) is at least partially placed in a liquid (22), which forms an air trap to prevent air from entering into the reactor. The outlet portion has a condensing collecting canopy (45) which is used to condense into liquid and recover the vapour formed in the reactor.
