Carbon Fiber Recycle Industry Co., Ltd.

Raw Materials Intermediate Products Recycling Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) recycling, recycled carbon fiber product manufacturing

Technical Classification:
[ Raw Materials ] [ Intermediate Products ] [ Recycling ]
Products:
[ Products / Processed Products ]
Keyword:
[ Energy-saving type CFRP recycling ] [ functional carbon fiber product recycle ] [ high-performance carbon fiber recycle ]

Point of the Proposed Technology

1. Two-stage processing of CFRP resin pyrolysis and residual carbon burning removal
2. Use of CFRP resin pyrolysis gas as fuel (energy self-reliance type process)
3. Thorough heating efficiency by using the circulation of exhaust heat and the superheated steam
4. Thorough quality control, and recovery of fibrous carbon fibers matched with the intended use

Effect(s)

Recovery of high-performance carbon fibers with residual carbon of 5% or less
Energy saving, and cost reduction (around 1/3 of new product)
Energy saving, and shortening of processing time (20% as compared to our conventional technology)
Various applications can be explored. (See the figures below.)

Technology Deployment and Cooperation

Development Stage
Commercialization Completed (already delivered: yes)
Joint Researchers (their role)
Gifu University: Product design and quality assurance, and information dissemination to the world and global standardization
NEDO: Practical development aid (2 cases)
Paper manufacturers and nonwoven fabric manufacturers: product development collaboration
FRP molding equipment manufacturers: trimming waste recycling cooperation
Automobile manufacturers, CFRP users: CFRP waste material reuse collaboration
Example of Application
Molding materials (materials for injection molding, extrusion molding, cast molding, etc.)
Carbon fiber paper, sheet, mat, etc. application products (conductive sheet, sheet heating element, electromagnetic wave insulating material, antenna, acoustic component, etc.) 
Mechanical parts (gear, spindle, housing, robot arm, water wheel, windmill, etc.)
Sporting goods, miscellaneous goods (racket, fishing tackle, etc.)
Technical Problems
The business should be managed by close collaboration with our carbon fiber regeneration business and related companies.
The quality control should strictly be observed (Carbon fibers are strategically important materials, and require the strict control of raw materials and products).
Collaborator needed to Improve
Regenerated carbon fiber product joint development companies, and regenerated carbon fiber product users
