Waste recycling system

A method of recycling useable components from tires or other waste, comprising the steps of:

• supporting the waste on top of at least one circumferentially perforated hollow member rotatably mounted within a burn unit;
• burning the waste in an incomplete combustion process to form a gaseous by-product and a solid by-product;
• rotating said hollow member;
• creating a reduced pressure within said hollow member to draw said gaseous by-product into said member through said circumferential perforations;
• and
• conducting said gaseous by-product out of said burn unit to separate the gaseous and solid by-products of said partial combustion.

A method of recycling useable components from tires or other waste, comprising the steps of:

• supporting the waste on top of at least two perforated hollow members rotatably mounted within a burn unit and spaced apart to define a gap;
• burning the waste in an incomplete combustion process to form a gaseous by-product and a solid by-product;
• rotating said members to urge the solid by-products of the incomplete combustion to fall through said gap;
• creating a reduced pressure within said hollow member to draw said gaseous by-product into said members;
• and
• conducting said gaseous by-product out of said burn unit to separate the gaseous and solid by-products of said partial combustion.

• creating a reduced pressure within said hollow member to draw said gaseous by-product into said member;
• conducting said gaseous by-product out of said burn unit to separate the gaseous and solid by-products of said partial combustion;
• blowing said gaseous by-product from said burn unit through an entrance aperture of an oil condenser having a screen interposed between said entrance aperture and an exit flue;
• and
• spraying oil at a lower temperature than said gaseous by-product on an upper surface of said screen to facilitate condensation of oil vapor within said gaseous by-product on said screen.

A method of recycling useable components from tires or other waste, comprising the steps of:

• supporting the waste on top of at least one perforated hollow member within a burn unit;
• burning the waste in an incomplete combustion process to form a gaseous by product and a solid by-product;
• creating a reduced pressure within said hollow member to draw said gaseous by-product into said member;
• conducting said gaseous by-product out of said burn unit to separate the gaseous and solid by-products of said partial combustion wherein said waste comprises metal wires and inorganic matter that includes sulphur and zinc, wherein said sulphur and zinc are deposited on said wires, and wherein said method further comprises collecting said wires with sulphur and zinc deposited thereon.

A waste recycling system, comprising:

• a burn unit having a chamber in which used tires or other waste are supported on top of at least one perforated hollow member and partially combusted to form a gaseous by-product and a solid by-product, said hollow member having a reduced pressure within to draw said gaseous by-product downward from said combusting waste;
• an oil bath filter into which the gaseous by-products of the partial combustion in the chamber are directed, said oil bath filter having a housing and an oil vapor entrapment screen mounted in said housing between an entrance aperture and an exit flue in order to cause said gaseous by-products to filter through said screen to trap and condense oil vapor thereon, said oil bath filter comprising:
• at least one spray nozzle mounted to said housing above said screen;
• a reservoir under said screen for collecting oil which condenses on said screen;
• an oil cooler outside of said housing;
• an oil pump;
• and
• a piping system interconnecting said reservoir, said pump, said cooler and said nozzle so that oil is pumped from said reservoir through said cooler and to said spray nozzle and applied to the upper surface of said screen as a mist.
