Shedder Residue

The following information was provided by Vulcan Systems’ report on vehicle shredder residue: “75% of automobiles can be recycled. The other 25% are combined metal & shredder waste known as automotive shredder residue (ASR). Auto recycling produces over 5M tons of ASR annually, much of which endsup in landfills. These plastics and metals are able to be recycled or reused. ASR contains a variety of material, some are hazardous contaminants such as cadmium, lead and petroleum hydrocarbons. Other materials include:

• Wood
• Plastic
• Rubber
• Foam
• Wire
• Fiber

With dwindling space in landfills and the potential of hazardous chemicals seeping into the environment, recyclers & scientists have found a way to recycle & reuse ASR. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agent (EPA), about 1M tons of ASR can be recovered for fuel usage. The benefits for usage as fuel include:

• Reductions in harmful carbon dioxide emissions
• A savings of 1M tons of coal per year
• Prevents unnecessary landfilling

Vulcan ASR Dryer Systems are made to suit each client’s distinct project needs & customized specifically to dry ASR, making the material simple to transport, sort, and handle. The drying process features a drum with a burner which is mounted to a combustion chamber. Shredder residue is placed into a rotary dryer. After traveling through the system, the dried material is fed to a transfer conveyor for additional sorting and separating. The vapor generated is pulled through a cyclone that is exactly designed to work with the fine ASR dust, as well as a higher temp baghouse that extracts additional fine particulates from the flow of vapor. The dryers are very efficient and retain material temperature below 185℉ (85℃) while limiting moisture levels to low as 2% of weight. Plastic makes up about 15% of a vehicle’s weight and is about 50% of ASR. 95% of plastic can be recovered. Approximately 10M tons of steel & iron are recuperated each year from scrap vehicles in North America alone.” The full white paper is available here.
