Eriez Introduces New Sorting System

Eriez, Erie, Pa., and Toratec have combined magnetic separation and metal sorting technology to create the new state-of-the-art EcoTowerSort.

The compact machine is designed to enables total recovery of valuable metals at a lower overall investment cost, according to the company. EcoTowerSort can be used for the sorting of aluminum, stainless steel, copper cables and heavy fractions. It can even recover stainless steel and plastic coated wires.

Different modular sorting technologies are used within the EcoTowerSort system. Common configurations include rare earth drum separators, eddy current separators, inductive sensor sorter, or combinations of these different technologies.

The vertical stacked design saves space by eliminating numerous conveyor and feeder systems, making it easy to integrate it into an existing plant, the press release states. More decks can be added as needed. Top to bottom, a typical EcoTowerSort configuration consists of a rare earth drum magnet, eddy current separator, ProSort metal sorter and inductive sensor sir Sorter.

The EcoTowerSort can be customized to fit customers’ requirements and preferences. At the metal sensor stages, material can be ejected either by the use of air or via an airless mechanical paddle system. Machines are available in widths of 24 to 118 inches.

Dust proof cabinets are standard. Air conditioned modules and cabinets are optional. It also features an Internet service device for worldwide machine managing.
