 Non-Ferrous Recovery Systems
The demand to recover and recycle a greater percentage of the auto shredder residue (ASR) is increasing
for both economic and environmental reasons. As profit margins within the ferrous marketplace erode and
operating costs continue to increase, it is vital to recover as much of the available metal units as possible in
order to stay competitive.
WENDT is the most experienced plant builder in North America for non-ferrous recovery systems.
»» Over 4 million tons of ASR is processed annually on WENDT/TOMRA equipment
»» Efficient wire recovery solution with high product purity, high copper yield and low stainless steel
contamination
»» Optimized solutions utilizing the fewest machines required
»» Industry-proven, robust machines with low cost of ownership
»» Multi-purpose plant designs that can run ASR, e-scrap, and other source materials

Non-Ferrous Metal Granulation & Separation Systems

The requirement for operators to produce more marketable commodities has increased the need for improved
processes that can upgrade non-ferrous materials, such as wires, cables and electronic scrap. With over 30
years of experience as an operator, our premier partner in non-ferrous metal granulation and separation
systems, MTB, has acquired unrivaled know-how in recycling products in these specific areas. A complete
portfolio of proven shredding, separation and screening technologies enables us to offer our customized
processing solutions, keeping three basic principles at the forefront:
»» Robustness, reliability and effectiveness of machines
»» Optimum quality of finished products
»» Continuous process improvement

WENDT has worked closely with MTB to develop new solutions to process new source materials for the
wire & cable industry, such as wire from ASR. Traditional wire chopping lines cannot process this material
efficiently. Alternative competitor processes produce refinery grade products with “balling mills” that
capture significantly less intrinsic value when compared to the WENDT/MTB process. Our unique solution
is designed to work with inherent stainless steel contamination that is unique to this feedstock, producing a
#2 Copper at consistent purities around 99.6%.
