Plate Magnet brings out the steel in
cables
When Amber Services took delivery of a Guidetti Cable Granulator to process copper wire, it needed to spot steel cores or armouring of cables and the answer was a Superpower Plate Magnet
Amber Services, based in Ystrad Mynach, South Wales, provide a total waste management service to industry and the general public Whilst considerable effort is devoted to minimising the volume of waste at source, they have declared a positive commitment to diverting as much waste as possible from landfill into the appropriate recycling streams

The Pulse Technology division of Eriez Magnetics Europe announces the release of its new product brochure on the Metalarm 6000 Range of Metal Detectors for conveyor applications.
Metal detectors make process line monitoring easy
Mesutronic metal detectors and separators employ the latest electronics technology for detection and removal of ferrous and non-ferrous contamination, including stainless steel
In fact, the aim of the Company is to recycle a target figure of 65% of all waste handled.
Part of this commitment is the investment in new recycling and waste processing equipment.
Recently Amber Services took delivery of a Guidetti Cable Granulator from Engineering Services of Bridgend, South Wales to process copper wire.
The steel cores or armouring of cables are often difficult to spot before they enter a granulator and, without removal, cause contamination problems when selling the recovered copper.
Mike Jones of Amber Services was aware of this problem and decided to visit Eriez to discuss his application.
After a tour of the Eriez facility in Caerphilly, South Wales he requested a site visit to view the operation at Ystrad Mynach for Eriez to make a recommendation.
The visit culminated in an order to design a Superpower Plate Magnet to fit onto the outlet chute of the granulator.
This particular model is being fitted with two tapered steps for optimising fine iron recovery.
Eriez supplied Amber Services with a ferrite tube magnet on loan as an interim solution to remove the contamination until manufacture of their own bespoke plate magnet was completed.
The plate magnet was delivered and installed on 9 February.
The Superpower Plate Magnet is only one of a range of Plate Magnets offered by Eriez.
Plate magnets will vary in size, configuration and strength.
Choosing the optimal model would depend on the application, in other words the industry in which it is applied, the type and amount of metal contamination as well as the operating conditions. Request a free brochure from Eriez Magnetics Europe ...
