    摘要: Described herein is a method for recycling aluminum alloy wheels. The method includes the steps of providing a feed of aluminum alloy wheels of a particular alloy; fragmenting a quantity of the aluminum alloy wheels into a plurality of fragments; subjecting the plurality of fragments to shot blasting to remove surface impurities from the plurality of fragments to produce a plurality of shot blasted pieces; separating the plurality of shot blasted pieces into a plurality of larger shot blasted pieces and a plurality of smaller shot blasted pieces; and, providing the plurality of larger shot blasted pieces for use in producing a recycled aluminum alloy, without providing the plurality of smaller shot blasted pieces for use in producing that recycled aluminum alloy.

    摘要: A method of recycling aluminum alloy wheels, the method comprising (a) providing a feed of aluminum alloy wheels; (b) fragmenting the aluminum alloy wheels into a plurality of fragments; (c) cleaning the plurality of fragments to at least partly remove at least one contaminant element therefrom; (d) determining a contaminant concentration estimate for each contaminant element in the plurality of fragments; and (e) operating a data processor to either approve or reject the plurality of fragments, based on an aggregate contaminant concentration calculation. When the plurality of fragments is approved, they may be provided to a downstream recycling process. When the plurality of fragments is rejected, they may not be provided to the downstream recycling process without further cleaning.
