Eriez Magnetics Europe, Bedwas, South Wales, has unveiled the revolutionary RE Roll Separator which has been designed to recover stainless steel effectively. Over the past 25 years or so the company has supplied hundreds of the high intensity, high gradient, permanent magnet separators to the minerals and ceramics industries for the optimum separation of paramagnetic particles from dry products.

 

The innovative, new separator enables waste processors to efficiently recover and remove stainless steel from multiple waste streams and post-processed materials such as scrap metal and shredded automobiles. Extensive research and development by Eriez engineers has led to the design of the separator, which consists of powerful Rare Earth magnets positioned inside a magnetic head pulley on a 1m wide Kevlar® conveyor belt. The specially designed belt provides maximum magnetic field strength on the belt surface, whilst offering excellent wear resistance. As a result, the highest, most intense levels of surface gauss are produced, allowing for effective separation of work hardening stainless steel and other weakly magnetic material that otherwise cannot be efficiently recovered. www.eriez.com
