Kinfinity Recovery

One mixed stream in. Four materials out

Kinfinity Recovery is designed to refine mixed recovered rubber into individual materials with consistent performance.

What goes in, what comes out

What leaves is materials, not a better blend

If you run a recycling line

Recovery is designed for brownfield integration. No new plant is required. It sits at the end of an existing devulcanisation process to enhance what recyclers already produce.

If you buy material

Separation is enzymatic rather than forceful, so each fraction comes out largely intact and can be sold against a specification instead of trialled blind.

Devulcanisation

What runs here
Shredding, steel and textile removal, and then the sulphur crosslinks between the chains are broken. Devulcanisation frees the polymer chains and hands over one blended material.
What it hands over
Devulcanised rubber arrives as an entangled network of polymer chains with everything else the tyre contained distributed through it. It is a diverse mix that the process upstream cannot control, and it is priced as one.
What Recovery asks of it
Nothing is replaced. Recovery is designed to be appended at the end of an existing devulcanisation line and to work on what that line already produces. The commercial consequence is the point: the capital question becomes an upgrade decision rather than a new-facility decision.

Partnership

Build this with us

Recovery needs partners rather than customers: recyclers with a devulcanisation line, tyre companies willing to qualify the output against their own specifications, and strategic investors who want a position in high-value rubber recovery before the regulatory pressure lands.
