ASR Dryers are engineered to dry automotive shredder residue, making the material easy to transport, separate, and handle by reducing moisture, weight, clumping, and volume.  Vulcan® Drying Systems dryers, can be customized to meet each client's individual project needs. ASR Drying Systems consist of a drum with a burner that is mounted to a combustion chamber. Auto shredder residue is fed into the rotary dryer, to be thermally heated. After the material has been processed, the dried ASR is discharged to a transfer conveyor for further sorting and separation. The vapors from the process are pulled through a cyclone that is designed to manage ASR particulates with the vapor stream. The cyclone and induced air fan can be calibrated to remove light materials such as seat foam to pre-sort those materials from the metals.  Any remaining fine particulates are remediated by the high-temperature baghouse.

Highly efficient Vulcan® Drying Systems ASR Dryers keep material temperature under 185°F (85°C) while reducing ASR moisture levels to as low as 2% by weight. The dryers are fully automated, and production rates and material quality are easily controlled. ASR Dryers are engineered to dry automotive shredder residue, making the material easy to transport, separate, and handle by reducing moisture, weight, clumping, and volume.

Metal separation technology has advanced significantly in the past decade.  Many shredding facilities are "mining" their old landfills of previously processed material and drying it for further separation.
