Sichuan Xuanhan Incineration Bottom Ash (IBA) Sorting Plant Project
The Incineration Bottom Ash (IBA) wet-processing production line in Xuanhan County (located in Dazhou City, Sichuan Province) has been completed and commissioned for operation in 2024. with processing capacity of 500T/D. This project signifies a critical advancement in applying circular economy principles to local waste management systems.
Incineration Bottom Ash
Resources misplaced become waste; when properly positioned, they transform into wealth. A massive amount of daily household waste requires significant human capital and physical infrastructure and financial resources for disposal. Incineration Bottom Ash (IBA), the residue from waste incineration, is typically landfilled despite containing substantial recyclable materials that can be reprocessed for secondary use. Ruijie Zhuangbei is committed to innovating technologies that convert discarded IBA into high-value resources.
Functions of IBA Sorting Equipment
To address the complex composition of incineration bottom ash, Ruijie Zhuangbei has developed specialized sorting machine for the valuable resource recovery.
Aluminum Recovery: Utilizes eddy current separators to separate aluminium materials. By adjusting the distribution device, separated aluminium materials can be divided into large, medium, and small aluminum particles according to customers’ requirement.
Eddy Current Separator for Aluminium Separation
Iron Sorting: Employ the electromagnetic over-band separator to remove iron block, up- suction magnetic separator to extract iron granules, wet drum magnetic separator and permanent magnetic separator to recycle iron powder. These magnetic separator machines can effectively screen and remove iron from raw materials.
Magnetic Separator for Iron Removal
Weakly Magnetic Metal Recovery: Applies jig concentrator machines to precisely recover weakly magnetic metals such as gold, silver, copper, tin, tungsten, tantalum, ect.
Jig Sorting Machine for Weakly Metal Screening
Finished sand: Use the stone hammer crushing machine to crush stones into fine aggregate, after removal the impurities by the spiral sand washer and dehydration of dewatering screen , clean finished sand can be obtained.

Dewatering Screen for Dehydration
Besides, Ruijie design reciprocating feeder for ensuring continuously and evenly materials feed. Spiral conveyor automatically and continuously convey materials to the next part. While trommel screen with gear transmission screen various all materials, such as, stone, iron from the IBA materials.
All the sorting equipment are supported to customize based on client-specific requirements, processing capacity, and site conditions.
Advantages of Choosing a Full Series Sorting Equipment
To choose a complete Series Sorting Equipment for IBA sorting production line, can achieve the goal of maximized resource utilization and reduce cost. When customized equipment is delivered to customer site, Ruijie professional engineer team will effectively install and commission each screen machine and the whole wet sorting process line, then technical personnel provides a comprehensive operation guide to customer’s operators. The integration of R$D, manufacturing, sales, installation and afters-sales help customer avoid taking additional time allocation and external specialist engagement for installation and operation.
But the most important thing is that all the valuable resources in IBA can be reused and bring economic benefits, if select Ruijie whole series sorting equipment. For example, the separated metal , non-ferrous metal can be recovered by the recycle company, the sand can be used as construction aggregate or to make into Eco-bricks. The full sets screen machines help to realize 100% recycling rate and zero-waste discharge, enhance economic returns and sustainable development.
Conclusion
The successful commissioning and operational launch of Xuanhan IBA wet-processing solution redefines what IBA process should be . Through technological evolution and industrial synergy, the project achieves “negative-cost waste treatment” while catalyzing emerging markets for recycled metals and eco-construction materials, offering a Chinese model for global urban sustainability transitions.
In the future, Ruijie will integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and further leverage technological innovations and advancements to enhance equipment flexibility and controllability, reduce labor costs, and make the entire production line more efficient and intelligent
