TCS-1 System definition

TCS-1 System means the Manufacturer's proprietary cryogenic tire disintegration system, patent pending, consisting of the Proprietary Front-End System, the Nonproprietary Equipment and the Leased Proprietary Equipment, as specified in the plans and specifications attached as Schedule 1.3, 1.6 (b), and 1.8 hereto and all substitutions, replacements, and improvements, and all repair and renewal parts installed therein.

TCS-1 System means the Manufacturer's proprietary cryogenic passenger car tire disintegration system, consisting of: (i) the patented "Leased Equipment" and the (ii) "Purchased Equipment" which includes but is not limited to a front-end tire preparation system and a freezing chamber which the Manufacturer believes are proprietary to it and for which the Manufacturer intends to apply for patents. This System will accept whole passenger car tires with an inside diameter not exceeding seventeen (17) inches and will process the tire in such a manner as to allow the System to separate the steel and fiber from the rubber which will be reduced to a size no larger than 5 mesh. The TCS-1 System shall meet or exceed all applicable U.S. permitting and operating rules and regulations including but not limited to those promulgated by OSHA and EPA.

TCS-1 System disintegration process is not expected to break the steel wires or to affect their integrity in any way. Based upon performance tests of the TCS-1 System's proprietary disintegration mechanism, the Company expects that the TCS-1 System's ability to prevent the creation of steel powder will result in easy and efficient separation and removal of the steel by magnetic means, without the substantial loss of rubber powder which occurs with the methods described opposite. The fiber, which will not lose its thread or cordlike configuration, will be broken in the disintegration process into lengths of from 1/2 to 4 inches. Rubber that is attached to the fiber creates a saleable product with unique properties. Furthermore, tests indicate that, in this form, the fiber can be easily separated from the rubber crumb by passing it through wire mesh screens. The salvaged steel wire pieces and fiber threads will be useable and saleable. Based on the foregoing and on test results, Management believes that: (i) the rubber powder yielded by the TCS-1 System will contain only an insignificant amount of fiber and steel; (ii) wastage of salvageable rubber powder will be reduced from the approximately 30% associated In using a hammer or knife-mill for this operation, however, the following problems arise: (i) running at an efficient speed, the fiber fluff (which is contained in the rubber crumb) may clog the mechanism; and (ii) the action of the hammer or knife-mill will heat the rubber to the point where it will become so soft that instead of being pulverized into a powder, it will simply be softened and mashed and thereby will further clog the mechanism. To avoid these problems, the hammer or knifemilling operations can be conducted at low feed rates, which will reduce the foregoing problems, but which may not be economically feasible. Conventional cryogenic systems deal with this problem by using liquid nitrogen to cool the previously chopped and shredded material before feeding it into the hammer or knife-mill. Some ambient systems do not freeze the rubber, but instead inject liquid nitrogen directly into the mill to keep the rubber from softening.

TCS-1 System disintegration process is not expected to break the steel wires or to affect their integrity in any way. Based much of the steel will remain embedded in the rubber pieces. In addition, since the fiber will have been subject to the chopping, shredding, and/or pulverizing operations, much of it will have been broken, and its thread or cord-like configuration destroyed. The broken, pulverized fibers will have formed a "fluff" which entraps and holds both rubber and steel particles. In order for this crumb to be useable, the steel will have to be separated and removed. The use of strong magnets removes the free steel pieces, but such magnets also remove all of the rubber particles in which the rest of the steel is embedded, resulting in a loss of up to 15% of the rubber. To avoid losing the substantial amounts of steel-bearing rubber which were magnetically removed, and to obtain a finer crumb (the coarse crumb has very few uses), the crumb must be subjected to a second re-grinding, which may or may not be cryogenic. This is normally done in a knife mill capable of disintegrating the crumb into smaller particles or in a hammer-mill. In using a hammer or knife-mill for this operation, however, the following problems arise: (i) running at an efficient speed, the fiber fluff (which is contained in the rubber crumb) may clog the mechanism; and (ii) the action of the hammer or knife-mill will heat the rubber to the point where it will become so soft that instead of being pulverized into a powder, it will simply be softened and mashed and thereby will further clog the mechanism. To avoid these problems, the hammer or knife-milling operations can be conducted at low feed rates, which will reduce the foregoing problems, but which may not be economically feasible.
