Type 'K' 20th Birthday
Over the past 20 years, the Mastermag Type 'K' overband separator has evolved in technology and performance to become the best selling separator and a market leader in Recycling and Quarrying
Lowmac Alloys operates a large site at Irvine in Scotland, incorporating ferrous and non-ferrous recycling, green waste processing, wood recycling, general waste recycling and the re-use of all types of soils and rubble.
They had been presented with the task of supplying a skip waste and commercial trade waste processing plant for another location in Scotland.
Lowmac Alloys already acquired two standard-size overband magnets from other magnet manufacturers, but they were struggling to find a reliable manufacturer who could custom design a large overband magnet to operate at an 381mm working gap, across a 2m-wide conveyor to handle skip waste and commercial trade waste.
Lowmac Alloys decided to visit the RWM 06 (Recycling and Waste Management) Exhibition in Birmingham UK.
Lowmac found the Master Magnets stand at the exhibition and explained that they required a special custom-designed Overband magnet to handle skip waste and commercial trade waste.
Master Magnets used its knowledge and expertise to provide Lowmac with a solution to theproblem.
Master Magnets sales engineers recommended the model 16 PCB 13, which is the largest permanent overband magnet in the Master Magnets range, weighing approximately five tonnes.
Lowmac were very impressed with the quotation presented to them, as Master Magnets demonstrated full understanding of the application and provided a solution for a very reasonable price, suggesting that Lowmac should acquire a permanent overband magnet instead of an electro overband magnet, which is a quarter of the price.
The Overband magnet is now undergoing performance tests in the skip waste and commercial trade waste processing plant.
When fully operational it will be capable of processing 200 tonnes a day, and it should pay for itself within 12 months.
Master Magnets can now offer a wider range of solutions to benefit the recycling sector, including shredders, screens, metal detectors, can flatteners, conveyors and complete turn key plants complementing its existing range of magnetic and non ferrous separation equipment.
