Eriez puts downstream shredder system on display

Pennsylvania-based magnetic and sorting equipment provider Eriez has created an animated video it says “offers an inside look at how Eriez’ flexible, best-in-class equipment can be configured to address challenges at every stage of ferrous and nonferrous [scrap] processing.”

The animation has been designed to show how Eriez can help shredding plant operators maximize metal yield, reduce downtime and improve profitability.

“Eriez doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach,” says Lloyd Williams, the United Kingdom-based Europe sales director for Eriez. “Our specialists collaborate closely with scrap yard operators to understand their unique requirements and design tailored systems that deliver exceptional results.”

Equipment portrayed in the video includes the PokerSort, a device designed to remove long ferrous pieces from shredded material to help prevent downstream equipment from damage and from jamming.

Also portrayed is a double-pass P-Rex drum system designed to produce what Eriez calls “industry-leading ferrous recovery” and a cleaner ferrous shred product by liberating more nonferrous residue.

The Shred1 ballistic separator portrayed was created to separate premium, low-copper ferrous material from traditional No. 2 shred, Eriez says, while reducing manual sorting requirements.

At the end of the ferrous recovery system portrayed in the video, an Eriez electromagnetic scavenger drum performs one more separation step between ferrous shred, nonferrous metals and residue.

In a nonferrous recovery system portrayed in the video, Eriez suspended electromagnets remove remaining ferrous pieces and an Eriez dynamic pulley separator uses an agitating magnetic field to undertake the separation of ferrous fines.

An Eriez ultra-high-frequency eddy current separator (ECS) is portrayed producing what the equipment firm calls “a clean, market-ready mixed metals product with minimal residue.”

The animation also features an Eriez drum-in-housing magnetic system and an ST22 ECS designed for the consistent recovery of medium-sized nonferrous materials. An LT2 ECS is shown separating coarse nonferrous fractions and is preceded by an Eriez magnetic pulley removing the largest ferrous pieces, with other material passing through a trommel screen to complete the nonferrous recovery process.

“We created this animation to highlight how Eriez’ commitment to innovation, automation, and system integration delivers real benefits for scrap yard operations,” Williams says. “Reduced manual labor, increased productivity, enhanced equipment protection and better metal recovery all contribute to a more lucrative, proficient and future-ready facility.”
