Eriez, a provider of magnetic separation equipment, offers a range of solutions tailored to meet tough challenges in the recycling industry. Innovative products from Eriez include eddy current separators and suspended magnets, available in both permanent and electromagnetic designs. These units improve operational efficiency, ensure product purity, and offer maximum product recovery.
The company’s eddy current separators feature state-of-the-art magnetic circuits composed of high-strength rare earth magnetic materials. Designed to reliably separate nonferrous metals, these advanced systems induce eddy currents within conductive metals such as aluminium, copper, and brass, creating repelling forces that selectively push away the metals at a high rate of recovery.
Each eddy current separator is comprised of a non-metallic external drum, an internal permanent magnetic rotor, a drive, and a belt conveyor.
As the external drum rotates at conventional belt conveyor speed, the internal rare earth alternating polarity rotor spins at a much higher RPM than the external shell, contributing to the effective separation process.
The result is a cleaner product, more streamlined operations, and boosted profits, according to an Eriez spokesperson.
Eriez suspended electromagnets offer a solution for ferrous metal collection from conveyed materials.
Typically suspended over conveyor belts, these electromagnets efficiently recover ferrous metal, ensuring maximum profitability.
Eriez offers a variety of electromagnetic configurations, including oil- and air-cooled, round and rectangular core, explosion-proof, and even cryogenic superconducting magnets capable of producing the world’s strongest magnetic force.
Eriez suspended permanent magnets use ceramic magnetic material arranged in a specific pattern to create a powerful magnetic field.
Each model is designed for the application based on conveyor width and speed, material burden depth, as well as the density or frequency of ferrous metals present in the process.
The magnets are permanently charged so they require no external power source and operate at peak efficiency at all times.
