Yes Vorax thrives on plastics of all types, no physical or chemical restrictions exist as to which plastics it can handle. Furthermore on our 22T-400Tpd models plastics provide very high energy output for electricity generation.

Vorax comes with a standard Two Year Comprehensive Warranty with Warranty extension options available.

A list of spare parts will be provided that we recommend to have on hand for quick change cases, this list includes fusion module (5-10 year life expectancy on the module itself), heat torches, pumps, motors, gaskets, sensors.

The equipment will only be stopped for maintenance reasons, normal operation will occur 24 hours a day, 30 days a month. Maintenance is monthly, 1 stop per month for a maximum of 12 hours.
When necessary, a refractory inspection will take place on the fusion module. For faster maintenance a new fuser module should be purchased as replacement parts.

With all maintenance performed correctly, the expectation is that life expectancy exceeds 40 to 50 years, the equipment is made of steel, all components used are of industry standard, if necessary these components can be replaced by new ones not interfering with useful life.

VORAX reduces in mass of 10: 1 and volume up to 250: 1. Vorax Fusion Module Effeciency is 70%.

At the upper end of the scale, using the largest Vorox Model “Orion” 400Tpd and burning very high calorie waste such as tires Vorax can produce 32MWh “net” after factoring for its own energy consumption requirements. Our smallest WtE model “Zeta One” capacity of 22Tpd, the net power produced (tires as feedstock) is 1.77MWh.

For MSW of varying compositions and moisture levels electrical energy outputs can be expected to be roughly within the range of 1/4 to 1/2 of the values provided in the Tires example above. Mixing MSW with Plastics and Tires increases the amount of electrical energy that can be produced.

Clients who submit details of the proposed waste composition will receive a more accurate estimate of the electrical power output to be expected.

No, Vorax can be configured to produce Syngas as the output to be used for power generation and also a future version will be available with the custom option of steam reforming and prism membranes technology to achieve 95% purity of H2 in high production volumes. (400T/day Vorax Orion model = 11,000kg – 30,000kg per 24 hour day of H2, depending on waste type).

For each model the waste feeder will be set to this condition, the torch is set for processing this volume. For example: A 2t / day model processes 83.33kg/hour, the waste feeder will be set to that maximum accordingly.

VORAX equipment technology, received from the German government through the Germany – Brazil Chamber of Commerce the “Cities of the Future” award. This award was sponsored and delivered by BASF Chemical. Parallel to the award, VORAX’s state – of – the – art technology was also presented at the IV Germany-Brazil Innovation Seminar, which annually brings the main trends in innovation and technology.

Well within accepted ranges, 77dB (2T to 10Tpd Models) up to 90dB (22T to 400Tpd Models).
Yes VORAX can be used both indoors and outdoors.

The only residual product after the two thermal products is a saleable inert by- product material in demand by the construction and asphalt industry. The by-product can be used as an asphalt filler, ie as a complement to the asphalt mix itself, this by-product can be pressed and through this process produce bricks, it can also be aggregated into other materials. manufacturing of precast parts and lastly as a suggestion is the use with noble rubble. The byproduct with the characteristic of crushed sand, similar to crushed stone.

There is no radioactivity in the waste unless it is radioactive, but after processing at 1600 ° C this radioactivity is zero, ie the waste is inert and not hazardous. That’s why VORAX uses high temperature processing.

VORAX features a design that maximizes safety as it is equipped with anti-explosion systems. On top of the fusion module is installed a valve that moves as the internal pressure increases instantly, preventing explosions.

In the event of a power outage, bypass valves are installed at the fusion module outlet that direct all the gas into the atmosphere to prevent this gas from standing still inside the fusion module.

In order for the melting torches to be supplied with gas and air, the system goes through a pressure and flow check control and also a leak check, if these parameters are incorrect a fault system is activated and the equipment is not supplied.

For safety reasons, for any fusion module door that is opened the grinding is paused, and only resumes when the doors close.
For any fault a visual and audible alarm is issued on the equipment control screen.

All equipment complies with safety regulations, Regulatory Standard 12 br, safety at machinery and equipment work Created by the Ministry of Labor and Employment, Regulatory Standard No. 12, aims to ensure that machinery and equipment are safe to use worker.

The equipment has level sensors that control the levels of waste feed so that there is no overload of the feeders. The same is true for sodium bicarbonate feeders.

If there is a pressure drop the system stops for the operator to check the leak location and failure.
