In recycling applications, there are many different types of material that need to be recovered. Magnetic separation equipment is ideal for pulling metals like iron and steel out of mixed material streams. However, non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminum, tin, and
The EPA estimates that 600 million tons of Construction and demolition waste were generated in the United States in 2018, which is more than twice the amount of generated municipal solid waste. Of this 600 million tons, much of it, including concrete, metals, and wood, can be reclaimed, processed and resold. This not only generates income for the recycler but lessens the environmental impact of disposal in landfills and the extracting of new materials. The recycled material is also more cost effective for use in new construction projects. This circular economy can benefit all participants, but only if processed and separated correctly and efficiently. Dings magnetic separation equipment helps accomplish this process.
Whether it’s mixed stream municipal recycling or construction and demolition waste, there are always valuable materials to be recovered. For non-ferrous metals, such as copper, aluminum and brass, an eddy current separator is the best option. Dings co. Magnetic Group
For grain, spices, bulk powders, and other granular products the need for metal separation comes down to two factors. First, increasing the purity levels of your product. Second, protecting valuable processing equipment from damage caused by hard ferrous impurities. As
For timber recycling and other biomass products such as wood chips and feed pellet the need for metal separation is twofold. First, providing your customers with the product purity they expect. Second, protecting valuable processing equipment that’s made for cutting
In aggregate and mining applications the need to remove ferrous often comes down to protecting processing equipment like conveyors, screens and crushers. Tramp metal, like bucket teeth, that get through can cause catastrophic damage and costly downtime while you’re forced
Magnetic Separation for Recycling Applications Whether it’s mixed stream municipal recycling or construction and demolition waste, there are always valuable materials that must be recovered. Magnetic separation lowers the labor cost and time needed for hand sorting. Ferrous metals like
Overhead Magnetic Separators For many conveyed material applications ferrous metal contaminants can be problematic. Whether it’s the damage they can cause to your processing equipment or a reduction in the purity of your product stream, they must be removed. One
What is an Electromagnet and How do they Work? Electromagnets are a type of magnet and one we use in many of our magnetic separators. Unlike permanent magnets, an electromagnet’s magnetic field is produced by an electrical current. An electromagnet
