As part of projects conducted for the PolyUrethanes Recycle & Recovery Council (PURRC), various equipment and processes have been utilized to isolate the useable polyurethane foam in post consumer automobile seats. The overall purpose of the project was to design a “turn key” process to isolate the components of seats removed from autos into polyurethane foam, steel, and fabric and other coverings.The projects were conducted in two phases:The objective of Phase I - (Primary Size Reduction) was to compare the capital cost, throughput, and product quality (particle size and coverings/metal liberation) associated with the primary size reduction of whole auto seats. Three types of size reduction equipment were considered: shear shredders, rotary grinders, and ring mills. Based on these comparisons it was concluded that a ring mill was the best option.The objectives of Phase II - (Process and Logistics) were to: The conclusions of Phase II were: The results of this project reveal that technologies exist to recycle post consumer automotive auto seats to produce scrap urethane foam for use in carpet under-layment, or as a feed stock for the glycolosis or powder recycling processes. Additional work needs to be undertaken to understand the business viability of the process.
