ASR Recycling Plant for Sale
Auto Shredder Residue or ASR recycling deals with all the light fractions left over from recycling End-of-Life Vehicles (ELVs). This material also known as Shredder Light Fraction (SLF), auto or car fluff make up as much as 25 % of the ELVs weight and contains many different materials: plastics, rubber, glass, sand, textiles, wood, metals, and dust. ASR recycling is the process of downsizing the material to sort out materials for recycling and/or produce a fraction suitable as alternative fuel. The most sought-after materials are various metals and plastics. Since many countries don’t allow metals and harmful fractions like PVC to be burned or put on a landfill, ASR recycling is an important part of car recycling.
One of the major challenges facing the automotive industry is meeting the recycling and recovery targets set by the revised European End-of-life Vehicles directive (which has set a target of 95%wt for recovery from vehicles by 2015). The remaining nonrecovered material is 20–25%wt (known as automotive shredder residue (ASR)). It is this material which must be processed to meet the higher targets. Currently, the residue is disposed of, which in many cases is landfill. The option to recover material to meet European target is currently limited to mechanical sorting via post-shredder technologies (PST). Thermal treatments options for ASR in within new emerging waste to energy plants is debatable. This is making it difficult to fully implement the requirements of the directive and the future application of the circular economy package.
The layout of the shredder plant for process ASR is shown as Figure. The plant consisted of: (1) a pre-shredder (where ELVs are processed after been depolluted); (2,3), conveyor system; (4), hammer mill; (5), magnetic drums (to separate ferrous and nonferrous materials); (6), quality material control of Z-box and cyclone system (where any remaining ferrous materials will be sent/removed through a Z-box section and any light fraction materials will be sent through the air cyclone separator), followed by (7) a conveyor system where shredded steels filtered and stored ready for export). The ASR is sized, stored and transported on conveyors to the post-shredder technologies. This comprises of a series of mechanical metal separation processes over band magnets, eddy current separators and trommel screen. During the process two size fractions of ≤ 30 mm and ≤ 150 mm of ASR are produced.
We offer both standard and customized ASR recycling solutions depending on your requirements. The standard solutions have capacities from 1000 kg input/production hour and up, and these are typically the starting point when customizing solutions for specific input types, more or less automation, or sorting out different output fractions.
