Eriez, American Pulverizer Partner on Recycling System

The system features Eriez’s CleanStream process and American Pulverizer’s shredder.


Eriez, Erie, Pa., and American Pulverizer Co. (APCO), St. Louis, have jointly announced a new system that the two companies say will offer users the ability to provide #1 shred quality steel to the steel industry.

According to an Eriez release, the system is designed around American Pulverizer’s 60-inch x 85-inch shredder with integration of the Eriez CleanStream Process, Eriez’s 90-inch ProSort II airless metal recovery system, Eriez 60-inch FinesSort Jr. metal recovery system, Eriez rare earth eddy current separator, two Eriez pulley magnets as well as conveyors from Hustler Conveyor Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of APCO.

“To ensure their high quality standards, APCO only partners with the most technologically advanced companies, so we are so pleased that APCO chose to work with Eriez on this new system,” says Mike Shattuck, Eriez Heavy Industries project manager. “Eriez continues to invest in new products for the many industries we serve, including the ever-growing recycling industry. The ability to partner with first-class companies such as APCO and Hustler Conveyors to offer customers advanced solutions that improve their processes is a real compliment.”

According to Shattuck, the APCO/Eriez/Hustler Conveyor Company system will soon be in operation at American Recycling, a scrap recycler based in Mays Landing, N.J.
