Foundry production inevitably generates significant volumes of waste, such as aspiration dust, sludge, and shavings. These materials present both environmental risks and economic potential due to their content of valuable metals. This paper examines traditional methods of recycling these wastes, their limitations, and innovative approaches utilizing rotary tilting furnaces (RTFs). The study includes research findings and practical case studies that confirm the effectiveness of RTFs in processing complex wastes and integrating them into production processes.
