Pennsylvania-based Eriez, a company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets a variety of equipment for more than 80 process and metalworking industries, has introduced its Stainless Steel Rare Earth Roll Magnetic Separator, which is designed for wire chopping facilities.
The company says the unit gives users a solution for removing stray stainless steel prior to chopping lines. The machine is designed to recover and concentrate stainless steel from the “zurik” conductive fraction from a fines minus-1-inch sensor sorting machine or the waste fraction from a fines minus-1-inch eddy current separator.
The conveyor is designed on 5-foot centers with a high-strength magnetic head pulley and features a 17 millimeter Kevlar belt to convey material over the rare earth roll. An adjustable splitter assembly aims to provide a split between a weakly magnetic stainless steel fraction and a nonmagnetic material fraction.
