Alan Ross Machinery Sells Magnapower Eddy Current System

Action Recyclers to add unit to assist in sorting aluminum from PET flake and glass.

Chicago-based Alan Ross Machinery has announced the sale of its first U.K.-manufactured Magnapower eddy current to Action Recyclers, Milwaukee, for the separation of aluminum from PET flake and glass. The system includes a vibrating feeder, drum magnet and belt cleaning brush and is capable of processing approximately 5 tons per hour, according to Alan Ross.
 
According to Rustin Ross, Alan Ross Machinery president, Action Recyclers selected Magnapower’s eddy-current sorting system because its proprietary eccentric rotor design proved effective for its application, including sorting fines. The unit is scheduled for installation in March 2012.
 
“We’re extremely proud Magnapower was selected from a field of such strong competition,” says Ross, “Magnapower has worked hard to bring innovation to eddy sortation, and it’s rewarding to see their ingenuity recognized.”
 
Alan Ross Machinery has carries an inventory of new and used scrap processing machinery and is the North American dealer for manufacturers including ING Bonfiglioli SpA (ferrous metal shredders) and Magnapower. 
Magnapower manufactures separation equipment, including eddy sorters, overband magnets and specialized sorting equipment for recycling.
