METAL SEPARATION
 EQUIPMENT

Magnapower supports the waste management industry with metal separation equipment that boosts recycling efficiency and reduces environmental impact. Our technology ensures maximum recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, helping operators divert valuable resources from landfill and contribute to a more sustainable, circular economy.

Separation processes will vary depending on materials / size and can include:

• Metering of product to separation line at a consistent rate
• Size reduction – shredding
• Fines removal
• Separation of ferrous metal – usually with an overband or drum magnet
• Separation of remaining ferrous – usually with magnetic head pulley or drum magnet
• Separation of non-ferrous metals – usually with an eddy current separator
• Separation of stainless steel
• Product (UPVC) checking with metal detection

Renewable organic materials, such as wood, agricultural crops or wastes, and municipal wastes, especially when used as a source of fuel or energy.

We manufacture a comprehensive range of equipment for this industry including:

• Overband Magnets
• Drum Magnets
• Eddy Current Separators
• Magnetic Head Pulleys

Recognising the need for product quality and purity, we focus our experience and knowledge of this application to provide separation equipment which leads the industry.

Dry Recyclables usually include empty household waste material such as:

• • Food and drink cans
  • Plastic bottles and containers
  • Paper and card

We recognise the need for product quality and purity. We focus our experience and knowledge of this application to provide separation equipment which leads the industry. Separation processes will vary depending on materials / size and can include:

Stage 1

• Size reduction (shredding)
• Primary ferrous removal – often using a Frag Drum

Stage 2

• Sizing of material into different fractions e.g. 0-20mm, 20-60mm, 60-150mm
• Separation of ferrous metal – usually with an overband or drum magnet
• Separation of remaining ferrous – usually with magnetic head pulley or drum magnet
• Separation of non-ferrous metals – usually with an eddy current separator
• Further processes are then used to sort the non-ferrous metals from one another

Stage 3

• Auto Shredder Residue (ASR) Processing
• This can be a complete separation plant on its own and may include a version of stage 1& 2 again for recovery of metals missed in the first stages.
• Additional processing may include inductive sensing to recover copper wire and stainless steel.
• Further processes are then used to sort the non-ferrous metals from one another.
