Automotive shredder Residue (ASR)
Recovery Solution
RUIJIE-Your Trusted ASR Recycling Equipment Manufacture
We specialize in the R&D and manufacturing of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) separation machinery. With over 15 years of expertise in solid waste separation, we are a leading domestic manufacturer in this field.
Core Products & Solutions
We focus on designing high-recovery sorting solutions for ASR, with our proprietary equipment including:
- Magnetic separation machines
- Eddy current sorting machines
- Induction sorting systems
- Combined sorting systems
ASR Sorting Process
Our systems process pre-crushed automotive shredder residue to separate pure metals and residual materials, producing sorted recyclables (iron, aluminum, copper, plastics) for downstream recycling.
Key Benefits
Our magnetic separation equipment effectively sorts ASR, automatically separating copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and iron to realize waste recycling. Flexible configurations adapt to diverse operational scenarios.

Global Trends in end-of-life Vehicle Recycling
The recycling and treatment of end-of-life vehicles have grown increasingly critical for environmental protection, resource reuse, and sustainable development worldwide.
The global end-of-life vehicle recycling industry has been expanding steadily in recent years.
Driven by digital and intelligent technologies such as IoT and AI, the industry is becoming more efficient and precise. These technologies improve sorting and dismantling efficiency, reduce operating costs, and lower environmental pollution.
Our Advanced ASR Sorting Solutions Deliver Superior Metal Separation Results
we provide high-sensitivity sensor sorting equipment for the effective separation of automotive shredder residue (ASR). Our eddy current separators and magnetic separators are well recognized by global customers.
Compared with traditional sorting methods, our eddy current separators feature significantly improved efficiency, reaching up to about 98% based on different material conditions.
As professional equipment for solid waste recycling, our machines are designed to efficiently recover metals from waste, maximizing the utilization of metal resources in both industrial and domestic solid waste.
How to Dispose of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR)?
Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) treatment focuses on three core goals: maximizing the recycling of valuable materials, reducing waste volume to minimize landfill usage, and recovering energy from combustible components like plastics and rubber.
With roughly 40–50% of ASR composed of hydrocarbon-based materials (including plastics, fibers, wood, paper, tar, and rubber), we can drastically cut the volume sent to landfills by following this optimized industrial recycling workflow:
Step 1: Pre-Crushing & Size Reduction
Further reduce ASR to a uniform particle size using a fine crusher, ensuring consistent material flow for subsequent sorting and separation stages.
Step 2: Metal Recovery via Magnetic & Eddy Current Separation
Extract valuable ferrous and non-ferrous metals using high-efficiency magnetic separators and eddy current separators. This step recovers iron, steel, aluminum, and copper for direct reuse in metal manufacturing.
Step 3: Combustible Fraction Separation
Separate combustible materials (plastics, rubber, fabrics, and wood) from inert residues using sensor sorters and vibrating screens. These fractions can be processed into refuse-derived fuel (RDF) for energy recovery.
Step 4: Glass Purification & Recovery
Isolate and purify remaining glass fragments into high-purity grades using magnetic separators, eddy current separators, and glass color sorters, making the glass suitable for secondary glass production.
Step 5: Final Residue Disposal
The remaining inert dirt and non-recyclable residues are safely sent to controlled landfills, ensuring minimal environmental impact.
The Process of Sorting
The following sorting and recycling line process is for reference only. Additionally, we can customize the production line and magnetic sorting machine according customers’ specific needs.
Solid Waste Shredder→ Chain Scraper Conveyor → Trommel Screen (screening out materials of inconsistent size), → Air Separator (screening of light floating objects such as lint), → Trommel Screen (separation of large and small materials), → Electromagnetic Overband Magnetic Separator (sorting iron metal), eddy current separators (Sorting copper, aluminum, zinc and other metals), → Stainless Steel Separators (sorting stainless steel) → Remaining Tailings.
Production Line 3D Drawing
The following drawings are provided for reference purposes only. Additionlly, we are able to customize production lines and magnetic separation machines to match customers’ specific requirements.
