Wietsman has some of the best sorting / recovery technology for their ASR Fluff and is either in the process of installing or just finished installing more advanced equipment. This includes a line to recover micro-fines and a dry media line to process Zorba and remove the 2 to 3 percent heavy red metals from the mix.

Thier equipment is about returning the most valum per ton (and increases worker safety). Increases recovered value allows for increased prices which help all of us.
