Aluminium scrap treatment plants

The growing need to recycle increasing amounts of metal scrap and aluminum waste—due to restrictions in export regulations—presents significant challenges, but at the same time creates new opportunities for recyclers. The quantity of aluminum scrap is increasing in the West, but so is the demand for purer recycled material that is ready to be reused in foundries for the production of new goods. To properly meet market expectations, it is therefore necessary to adopt systems capable of ensuring that metal scraps are adequately treated to achieve excellent purity levels without compromise.

ITR – Recycling Systems designs and manufactures aluminum scrap treatment systems for companies operating in environmental services and metal recovery. ITR’s metal and aluminum scrap treatment systems (aluminum profiles, aluminum housings, aluminum sheets, and aluminum cans) are designed to ensure superior quality levels of secondary raw material. ITR’s metal scrap treatment plants integrate various technologies, such as:

• TSS shredders, which perform precise volumetric reduction of metal scrap, preparing it for subsequent recovery and separation processes;
• Fixed HMS hammer mills and mobile HMM hammer mills for material crushing;
• Magnetic separation systems to separate the ferrous fraction from the non-ferrous one and SCP Eddy-Current separators for non-ferrous metals, which allow the separation of inert fractions (plastic, nylon, fabric, glass, wood) and non-ferrous metals;
• Latest-generation X-ray sorters, which ensure precise cleaning and separation of materials to obtain a furnace-ready product. The fraction containing heavy metals is separated from the clean fraction, with residual amounts of copper and zinc lower than 200 ppm.

All ITR – Recycling Systems plants are equipped with independent controls for easy integration into existing process lines, and a software management system that allows constant monitoring and adjustment of the entire plant, including remotely. Furthermore, ITR plants are equipped with effective dust suppression systems used during processing phases, protecting both the environment and workers’ health, as well as preserving the final quality of the recycled fractions returned to new life.

The ITR – Recycling Systems metal and aluminum scrap treatment plants stand out in the market for their superior efficiency, low operating and maintenance costs, ease of management, and immediate integration with Industry 4.0 systems.
