Treatment plants for processing incinerator slag
Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants generate a significant amount of non-hazardous solid residues, composed of unburned materials—such as steel and ferrous metals, aluminum, glass, and inert materials—that can be separated by size and recycled.
Further treatment of the bottom ash resulting from the combustion of mixed municipal waste enables enhanced recovery and recycling of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as the reuse of remaining inert materials in cement plants. This leads to substantial savings in land usage and a reduction in the environmental impact associated with landfilling.
ITR – Recycling Systems designs and manufactures incinerator bottom ash (IBA) treatment plants to recover the metals contained in the ash and to separate the residual fractions into different grain sizes.
The IBA treatment plant integrates a range of technologies, including:
Fixed HMS hammer mills for material crushing,
De-dusting screens,
SCP (Eddy-Current) non-ferrous metal separators,
used to isolate inert fractions (plastic, nylon, textiles, glass, wood) from non-ferrous metals and produce a high-quality, contaminant-free final product.
All ITR – Recycling Systems plants are equipped with independent controls for easy integration into existing processing lines, along with a software management system that enables constant monitoring and remote calibration of the entire facility.
In addition, ITR plants are fitted with effective dust and odor suppression systems, which operate during processing to protect the environment, safeguard workplace health, and ensure the final quality of the recycled fractions returned to new life.
ITR – Recycling Systems’ incinerator bottom ash treatment plants stand out in the market for their high levels of efficiency, low operational and maintenance costs, ease of management, and seamless integration into Industry 4.0 factory systems.
