I´m working on a feasibility project for a tire pyrolysis plant. I´d be thankful if some of you could tell me where to look at about reactor types and cost analysis for shredding equipment.

Cheers, Jaume
 
Before you start costing: Have you done the process design?

Pyrolysis is the one process I would certainly NOT recommend and the reasons are dioxins and furans. You want to heat the fumes to 900°C for 4 seconds in air to break these chemicals down.
