ECOLOMONDO COMPLETES INSTALLATION AND BEGINS COMMISSIONING OF ITS NEW MILLING LINE
Ecolomondo Corp. has completed the installation and recently began the commissioning of its new milling line at its Hawkesbury TDP turnkey facility.
This new milling line, along with all the support equipment such as conveying, baghouse, magnets, dust collection, pelletizer, dryer and bagging, is fully automated using HMI technology. Installation was completed in record time, on schedule and on budget.
The commissioning successfully began early in April, 2025, and the company expects to complete the commissioning by the end of April, 2025, with initial production of recovered Carbon Black (rCB) to begin thereafter. The company expects to begin regular production of rCB by the end of May, 2025.
Once the new milling line is fully commissioned, it is expected to have a capacity to process 2,200 per hour of rCB and yield a particle size distribution of 96 per cent between 10 to 15 micrometres, which are the specs required by offtake clients.
The commissioning of the new milling line will allow the entire Hawkesbury TDP facility to ramp up its production to full capacity. The facility is expected to process over 1.5 million scrap tires per year, to produce 4,500 MT of recovered carbon black, 5,400 MT of oil and 2,250 MT of steel, while recovering 1,350 MT of process gas. It is expected to generate projected annual sales of $12.1-million with an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) between 45 and 50 per cent.
« This step is a major milestone for the company, we know that Ecolomondo’s TDP technology has always performed according to expectations, so this last phase to process rCB is expected to allow the Hawkesbury facility to soon ramp up to full capacity, » said Jean-Francois Labbe, interim chief executive officer of the company.
