Engineered Recycling Systems (ERS) is helping scrap yards across North America unlock more value from their automotive shredder residue (ASR) by upgrading fines recovery systems or integrating new ones into existing ASR lines. As demand for copper, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals continues to rise, maximizing recovery from ASR fines is no longer optional—it’s essential.

ERS systems are engineered to extract high-purity metals from the fines stream, which often contains overlooked fractions of valuable material. Whether a facility is already running fines recovery or only processing coarse ASR, ERS can design and install a tailored solution that fits the current layout and boosts overall yield. This includes complete fines recovery integration for operations that have not yet tapped into the potential of their ASR fines.

The recovery process uses calibrated airflow, magnetic and eddy current separation, and advanced filtration to isolate copper, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals from car fluff and mixed shredder residue. Dust control and compliance are built into every system, with optional CCM® OCT filters available to capture airborne particles and recover trace metal fines.

ERS works directly with scrap yards to assess existing performance, identify recovery gaps, and configure systems that meet throughput goals while reducing waste. With proven results in demanding applications, ERS equipment helps facilities recover more metal, reduce landfill volume, and strengthen their competitive position in the recycling market.

If your operation is ready to upgrade its ASR fines recovery—or add fines recovery to an existing ASR line—ERS is ready to deliver a solution engineered for results.
