AI-WaJe
Category: Other
Developers: Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
Product Description:AI-WaJe is an AI-powered, non-thermal water jet system that produces ultra-reactive rubber powder that achieves up to 82% polyisoprene activity in 6 minutes for a truck tire. With real-time AI optimization and shear activation, its low-carbon, precision process outperforms pyrolysis and shredding, enabling direct application in tread rubber and advanced composites. The product is designed to redefine tire recycling by replacing traditional mechanical shredding with AI-optimized high-pressure hydro-blasting. Powered by real-time AI algorithms and multi-sensor feedback, this non-thermal process produces ultra-reactive rubber powder, achieving polyisoprene activity up to 82% in just 6 minutes. Unlike pyrolysis or chemical devulcanization, AI-WaJe activates rubber surface chemistry without degrading polymer structure or requiring high-temperature systems. Key innovations include a closed-loop AI control system, spin-shear-based hydro activation for breaking vulcanized networks, and automated parameter optimization for consistent quality. The system emits only 300 g CO₂e per kg of tire processed, far below industry norms, and the output complies with GB/T 15904-2020, making it suitable for tread rubber, green construction, and advanced composites. AI-WaJe is more than a technical breakthrough; it is a scalable, sustainable, and commercially viable solution.
