Maximize Yield from ASR Fines with ERS Retrofitting and Recovery Systems

Scrap yards across North America are unlocking new value from their automotive shredder residue (ASR), especially the fines stream that’s often landfilled or overlooked. At Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS), we design and deliver ASR fines recovery systems that isolate high-purity copper, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals from 1-inch-minus car fluff. Our technology combines calibrated airflow, magnetic and eddy current separation, and advanced filtration to achieve clean separation, high resale value, and reduced landfill volume.

ERS systems are modular, scalable, and built to integrate into existing ASR lines with minimal disruption. Whether you’re retrofitting an established flow or adding fines recovery for the first time, we tailor each system to your layout, throughput goals, and material mix. Our field teams provide diagnostics, training, and performance tuning to ensure long-term reliability and maximum yield.

ERS installations are already helping scrap yards boost recovery rates, reduce waste, and strengthen their competitive position. If you’re ready to retrofit or reinvent your ASR fines recovery process, talk to ERS today and discover what your fines stream is really worth.

ERS black mass recovery systems are engineered to separate copper, aluminum, and other metal fractions from black mass—a fine granular material derived from shredded lithium-ion batteries. These systems are designed for recyclers and processors seeking high-throughput performance, consistent recovery rates, and low impurity output.

Each system is tailored to the customer’s feedstock and operational requirements, with a focus on scalable throughput and precise separation. ERS does not offer tolling or material processing services. Instead, we provide complete engineered solutions that enable clients to operate independently with full control over their recovery process.

Black mass recovery presents unique challenges in terms of material variability, metal purity, and system integration. ERS addresses these through modular design, robust separation technology, and proven installation workflows. Our systems are already supporting battery recycling and metals recovery operations across multiple sectors.

For organizations evaluating black mass processing options, ERS offers technical consultation and system engineering to match specific material profiles and facility layouts. Our goal is to deliver reliable, high-performance recovery systems that meet the demands of modern recycling and circular materials management.
