Eriez has developed an eco-certification designation for a variety of its high-end recycling equipment, including the ProSort, ProSort II and FinesSort Metal Recovery Systems and Eddy Current Separators.
The selected recycling products have met several criteria established by Eriez for its Eco-Certified designation:
- ProSort, ProSort II, FinesSort and ECS have a positive impact on recycling processes and the recycling industry
- The equipment is manufactured with energy-savings features, including the use of energy-free permanent magnets
- ProSort, ProSort II, FinesSort and ECS are built in an Eriez facility that focuses on recycling, driving down energy usage and reducing landfill waste
- An electronic, paperless format is used when promoting the selected Eriez recycling equipment; when marketed using hard copy, promotional material is printed on recycled paper
ProSort Airless Metal Recovery System’s electromagnetic “Six Pack” paddle system saves up to 75 percent of the cost of operating a typical 125 HP air compressor associated with air recycling systems. Sensor-activated paddles deflect detected metals, and ProSort’s modular design can be configured up to 90 inches wide. The airless ProSort II doubles the number of metal sensors found on the original ProSort. These high resolution sensors are aligned with an inverted pad mechanism to improve recovery of valuable metals.
The FinesSort Metals Recovery System features a series of powerful magnetic components that recover ferrous and nonferrous metals less than one inch in diameter from the fines waste streams in scrap yards. The FinesSort not only reduces the amount of waste destined for landfills, but reclaims thousands of pounds of metal per day for reuse.
Eriez’ Eddy Current Separators are designed for material recovery facilities looking to automate removal of nonferrous metals from trash, municipal solid waste, sand, glass, dirt, CTD, electronic scrap and shredded automobiles. ECS models from Eriez are available in feed widths of 24, 36, 48, 60 and 84 inches.
