CECO Environmental supplies aluminum recovery systems for manufacturer

CECO Environmental Corp., an environmental services company based in Dallas, has announced that its CECO Busch brand recently provided an aluminum recycling system to a provider of aluminum plates, sheeting and extrusions based in North America. The system is for a new milling operation, which is currently under construction and will be fully operational early this year.

According to a news release from CECO, the integrated solution includes a multiproduct line, aluminum chip collection and recycling solution. As aluminum producers mill the surface of slabs before finish rolling, the scrap material is generated at a rate of up to 25 tons per hour. 

CECO says its custom-engineered solution integrates and leverages the strength of CECO technologies, including CECO Flex-Kleen dust collection and CECO Fisher-Klosterman cyclone separation systems, to collect this scrap material and recycle it.

“Our solutions deliver an efficient way to recycle excess aluminum that is discarded during the manufacturing process, significantly reducing waste, which reduces a manufacturer’s impact on the environment and assists with meeting sustainability initiatives,” says Todd Gleason, CEO of CECO Environmental. “Aluminum manufacturing continues to be critically important to a range of industries including food and beverage packaging, automotive, aerospace and construction.”
