The process for recycling and de-vulcanizing vulcanized rubber comprises the steps of: grinding said rubber in a mill in order to shred it into particles having a size substantially comprised between 5 and 15 mm; introducing the particles in an initial section of a two-screw co-rotating extruder having a length 64 times or more the external diameter of the screws, mixing the particles within the extruder, which is kept at a temperature comprised between 35 and 350° C., due to the screw rotation at a speed comprised between 15 and 300 rpm; and obtaining an extruded product formed by de-vulcanized rubber. 1. Process for recycling and de-vulcanizing vulcanized rubber , comprising the steps of:grinding said rubber in a mill in order to shred it into particles having a size substantially comprised between 5 and 15 mm,introducing said particles in an initial section of a two-screw co-rotating extruder having a length 64 times or more the external diameter of the screws,mixing said particles within the extruder, which is kept at a temperature comprised between 35 and 350° C., due to the screw rotation at a speed comprised between 15 and 300 rpm, andobtaining an extruded product formed by de-vulcanized rubber.2. Process according to claim 1 , wherein water is introduced into said extruder in at least one section located at a distance of at least 48 times the external diameter of the screws downstream of said initial section.3. Process according to claim 1 , wherein said extruder is provided with means for expelling gases and/or vapours formed inside.4. Process according to claim 1 , wherein said screws rotate at a speed comprised between 15 and 150 rpm.5. Process according to claim 1 , wherein said extruder has a length comprised between 64 and 80 times the external diameter of the screws.6. Process according to claim 1 , wherein the mechanical power supplied by the main motor of the extruder to the vulcanized rubber treated therein is comprised between 0.1 and 0.4 kW/kg of ...
