A closed circuit, dry processing system for processing aluminum containing
products and producing reusable particles of aluminum, and a process
thereof. The aluminum containing products are crushed into chips which
are then separated into iron-based and ironless chips. The ironless chips
are further crushed into chip fragments which are controllably supplied
into a granulation chamber where the chip fragments are granulated into
spheroidal particles of aluminum and other particles of organic and
carbonic materials. A controlled upward airflow produced in the
granulation chamber draws those of the particles exceeding a desired
granulation degree out of the granulation chamber. The particles are
classified as a function of their sizes and then separated as a function
of their weight so that the spheroidal particles of aluminum forming the
reusable particles of aluminum and residues formed by the other particles
are released separately.
