Automotive Shredding Residue (ASR) Dryers
Description
The Vulcan® Drying Systems ASR (Automotive Shredder Residue) Dryer System is custom-designed and manufactured to suit the customer's individual project needs. These drying systems consist of a correctly sized drum with a burner. The burner is mounted to a combustion chamber. Vulcan® Drying Systems ASR (Automotive Shredder Residue) Dryer Systems are designed specifically to dry automotive shredder residue (ASR), making the material easy to transport, separate and handle.
Process
Shredder residue is fed into the rotary dryer. After passing through the dryer, the dried material is discharged to a transfer conveyor for further sorting and separation. The vapor from the process is pulled through a cyclone that is specifically designed to deal with the fine ASR dust, as well as a high-temperature baghouse which removes all fine particulates from the vapor stream.
Specifications
Each Vulcan® Drying Systems ASR (Automotive Shredder Residue) Dryer System is custom-built for the client. Systems consist of the following components:
- Rotary Dryer
- Transfer Conveyor
- Cyclone
- High-Temperature Baghouse
All ductwork, cyclones and other high-wear areas in the system have abrasive-resistant plates to reduce lifetime wear and maintenance costs. Vulcan® Drying Systems has designed plants that can process 40 tons per hour and 80 tons per hour for industry clients.
Tuffman Trommel Screens and Heavy Duty Conveyors can be used for sorting and transporting ASR.
Materials
The Vulcan® Drying Systems ASR (Automotive Shredder Residue) Dryer System is designed to dry automotive shredder residue for easier separation and reuse.
About Automotive Shredder Residue Drying
Take Your ASR from Landfill to Revenue
CREATING AN ECONOMIC VALUE FROM LANDFILL WASTE, SUCH AS AUTOMOTIVE SHREDDER RESIDUE (ASR) IS A BIG CHALLENGE THAT CAN PRODUCE A BIG PAYOFF.
VULCAN® DRYING SYSTEMS DRYING TECHNOLOGY IS THE KEY COMPONENT OF MATERIAL PREPARATION WHEN SEPARATING ASR WASTE IN ORDER TO RECLAIM ENERGY AND METALS.
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.
Thermal drying is a proven technology that has been used in a variety of industries and applications. Another example is in the agricultural industry where crops, grains, and animal feed can be dried to facilitate easier storage and more efficient transportation. These benefits can be seen in a large range of products, showing that almost any material can be appropriately dried in order to save time and money.
