Recognising & sorting metals
We are one of the pioneers of effective magnet technology in metal recovery. We have a wide range of products and stand out with innovative concepts and customised solutions.
Our magnetic separators and metal detectors are often inconspicuous but always very energy-efficient and reliable in their service worldwide. On this page you can find out where our devices are used.
Areas of application - Iron separators
Effective separation of ferrous metals
Ferrous separators are magnetic separators that are used to remove magnetisable ferrous metals from material streams.
Ferrous separators are used in many different areas of application, for example
- Food industry
- chemical industry
- mining
- Cement grinding plants
- Coal handling harbours
- Waste wood processing plants
- Household waste recycling plants
- Bulky waste recycling plants
- Industrial waste treatment plants
- Gravel plants
- Waste incineration plants
- Coal-fired power plants
Areas of application - Stainless steel separators
Better separation rate
Many weakly magnetisable stainless steels cannot be separated with iron separators. Very strong magnetic fields with a great depth effect are required to sufficiently magnetise and hold these parts.
Our stainless steel separators can separate previously undetected stainless steels from many material streams:
- MVA slag
- Electronic scrap
- MBT heavy fraction
- Shredder heavy fraction
- Scrap processing
Areas of application - Non-ferrous separators
Recovery of valuable non-ferrous metals
Almost everything that is shredded today and then sorted into different fractions or grain classes contains valuable non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, brass and copper.
The aim of using non-ferrous separators is either to recover valuable metals directly or to clean the base material for reuse. Of course, both can also be combined in many applications:
The aim of using non-ferrous separators is either to recover valuable metals directly or to clean the base material for reuse. Of course, both can also be combined in many applications:
- Recycling of waste wood, bulky waste, commercial and packaging waste
- Household waste and used glass sorting
- Automotive and electronic scrap recycling
Areas of application - Metal detectors
RELIABLE MACHINE PROTECTION
Metal detectors are often used in shredding machines to protect the machines and the end product from unwanted metal ingress.
Metal detectors help to prevent costly damage to downstream machinery and processing equipment and reduce waste. They are capable of detecting both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. They can be found in the following areas of application:
- Gravel works
- quarries
- Coal-fired power stations
- Cement grinding plants
