18,000 Tons/Year Pyrolysis Carbon Black HGM100L-II Roller Mill Grinding Plant in Korea
Location: Korea
Material: Pyrolysis Carbon Black
Annual Production Capacity: 18000 tons/year
Output Fineness Required: D97=10 micron
Project Installation time: 2022
Clirik Solution: HGM100L-II Ultrafine Grinding Mill
Equipment Configuration: Storage hopper, screw conveyor, grinding main unit, classifier, blower,dust filter, electronic control cabinet.
Service Support: On-site installation guidance by professional installation engineers.

Project Background
In the heart of South Korea’s burgeoning circular economy, our client faced a monumental challenge: mountains of end-of-life tires that were once considered environmental liabilities. Seeing the hidden potential in these “waste” resources, they embarked on a global search for a technology partner capable of transforming pyrolysis char into high-value Recovered Carbon Black (rCB). After an exhaustive period of technical comparisons with numerous international manufacturers, Clirik was chosen for our superior ability to meet the most demanding requirement—achieving an ultra-fine fineness of D97 = 10micron.
Commissioned in 2022, this advanced facility now processes 18,000 tons annually, marking a significant milestone in Korea’s waste-to-value transition. The ultra-fine rCB produced on-site serves as a vital functional additive for asphalt modification and low-end industrial rubber products, providing essential reinforcement and pigmenting properties. By bridging the gap between waste tires and high-performance industrial additives, this project not only maximizes the economic value of the client’s resources but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable material engineering in the region。

Main Equipment & Functions (The Processing Flow)
Feeding and Conveying (Material Preparation):
The carbon black powder is stored in the storage hopper, from where it is precisely transported by a screw conveyor into the grinding chamber. This setup ensures a continuous and uniform material flow, allowing for high-precision dosing while effectively preventing mechanical overload within the system.
HGM Main Unit (Multi-Layer Grinding System):
The core of the production line, featuring a unique 4-layer grinding design. Utilizing centrifugal force, the rollers crush, roll, and shear the material against the rings. This multi-stage grinding logic delivers significantly higher fineness and throughput compared to traditional impact mills.
High-Efficiency Classifier (Precision Screening):
Integrated at the top of the main unit, this variable-frequency classifier uses centrifugal airflow to separate particles. It allows for the precise adjustment of the D97 cut-off point between 325 and 3000 mesh, ensuring that only the qualified ultra-fine powder proceeds to the collection stage.
Pulse Dust Collector (Environmental Protection):
This high-efficiency tank-type collector utilizes premium filter bags to capture 100% of the finished powder directly from the airflow. Operating under negative pressure, it ensures zero dust leakage and a 99.9% recovery rate, making it ideal for ultra-fine applications where total product recovery is critical.
High-Pressure Blower (Airflow Circulation):
The “lungs” of the system, providing the necessary negative pressure and high-velocity airflow to lift and transport the powder. Equipped with a professional silencer, it ensures a stable pneumatic environment for the entire closed-loop grinding circuit.
PLC Intelligent Control System (Centralized Operation):
The “brain” of the plant, allowing engineers to monitor vibration, motor frequency, temperature, and system pressure in real-time. This automated interface ensures high batch-to-batch consistency and protects the equipment through intelligent fault-diagnostics and emergency shutdowns.

Global and Regional Market Insight on Carbon Black Powder
Market Size and Macro Landscape
The global carbon black market has reached approximately $30 billion, expanding at a steady 4.8% to 6.3% CAGR. The Asia-Pacific region, led by China and India, dominates with over 58% of global demand, while North America and Europe spearhead the high-value shift toward premium specialty sectors and sustainable, recovered variants.
Core Driver: Tire and Rubber Reinforcement
Driven by its superior reinforcement properties, carbon black primarily serves the global rubber industry, which consumes over 80% of total output. The rapid worldwide boom in electric vehicles (EVs) has further accelerated this demand, requiring higher-performance tire reinforcing agents to ensure superior wear resistance, enhanced grip, and reduced rolling resistance for specialized EV tires.
Industry Trends
Stricter environmental regulations are accelerating a massive structural shift toward green production. Recovered carbon black (rCB) from waste tires is expanding at a CAGR exceeding 35% to satisfy global tire giants, while rising energy costs are pushing producers away from traditional coal-tar bases toward cleaner alternatives and enclosed, low-energy negative-pressure systems.
