AluSalt™ Salt Slag / Cake Recycling For In-House Salt Slag Recycling

It has been proven around the world that the use of salt when operating Rotary Furnaces provides optimum control and maximum recovery of aluminium from dross and scrap. The output from this process is salt slag, a low aluminium content hazardous waste. Altek have addressed the big issue of salt slag treatment by developing an ‘in-house salt slag recycling solution’ to extract aluminium, recover the salts and turn non-metallic ‘waste’ into saleable products.

AluSalt™ is ALTEK’s economically viable solution to the global issue of salt slag (salt cake) processing and can be set up locally within a company’s curtilage. The benefits this can provide, operationally and financially, are significant and AluSalt™ is the most economical process available in the market for small, medium and large producers.

AluSalt™ is an extremely clean operation requiring minimal operators due to an intelligent control system which automatically modifies itself depending on readings from sensors around the plant. Operators do not need to use gas masks or be trained in chemical engineering, and the process is highly flexible allowing different salt slag types from fresh sources or landfill piles to be processed in the same plant.

On-site processing provides excellent operational control
Treat fresh salt slag or landfill slag piles in the same facility
