Metso has announced that its mASP25 and mASP50 Aspirators will soon be in the field helping prepare and separate auto shredder residue (ASR) for better metals recovery.
Gene Nasierowski of Metso’s Brunswick, Ohio, location, says the units are designed “using fundamental principles of air flow, with density, shape and the key principle of terminal velocity.”
He continues, “The Metso Aspirator uses a zig-zag material flow pattern, which creates higher efficiencies of separation at each level.”
Nasierowski adds, “When an ASR material reaches its maximum downward fall speed—its terminal velocity—the cross-flow air will then float the lighter materials out of the falling ASR and into a downstream cyclone.”
He calls the Metso Aspirator “an economic solution to cleaning the fluff from the metals.”
