Recycling plant attracted by magnetic
separation
Magnetic separation system facilitates the separation of cans from plastic bottle waste at recycling plant in Skegness, Lincolnshire.
Game Engineering, a turnkey project engineering company offering standard and bespoke materials handling and processing equipment, has installed an Eriez magnetic separation system to facilitate the separation of cans from plastic bottle waste at Materials Recovery's recycling plant in Skegness, Lincolnshire Once installed, an Eriez engineer commissioned the system to ensure optimum performance

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
The objective was to provide 95% separation for both steel (ferrous) and aluminium (non-ferrous) cans at a throughput of 133m3 per hour.
Eriez's product incorporated a suspended permanent magnet, Model CP 20/120 SC2, for achieving 95% purity on separation of ferrous cans and an LC 4009 Model eddy current separator (ECS) with 1000mm feed width for achieving matching purity levels on separation of aluminium cans.
Eriez sells hundreds of suspended permanent magnets to the waste handling and recycling industry, in the UK and abroad.
The model installed by Game Engineering is for positioning across the conveyor belt and is self-cleaning, which means the belt around the magnet box is moving continuously so that ferrous materials attracted to the magnet fall automatically away into a collection bin once clear of the magnetic field.
The unit made by Eriez is a low-cost, robust ECS, which operates well in separating larger non-ferrous metals in tough-working environments where maintenance needs to be kept down.
Eriez ECS units are for ease of installation into new and existing recycling plants, are simple to operate, enable flexible and easy adjustment, and provide an energy-efficient and cost-effective method of increasing the recovery of non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials.
