Eriez Magnetics Reports Robust Sales of
Eddy Current Separators, Expands
Manufacturing Capability in UK

Eriez RevX-E separator
Eriez Magnetics reports that sales of its eddy current separators
for industrial and recycling markets have been setting a robust
pace, boosted particularly by their latest model's increased capability to separate beverage cans for recyclers. The company has
expanded its manufacturing capacity for its line of eddy current
separators in Europe where they recorded record sales in 2018.
Eriez Europe, based in the UK, sold a record number of over 40
units into the European market during the year. Due to the increasing sales of the separators and other expansion needs, a
3,500 sq ft extension to the company's European manufacturing
facility was completed in autumn 2018. It will enable the plant to
increase its production capacity of separator rotors by a third per
year, the company said.
Earlier, from its headquarters in Erie, PA, Eriez reported that sales
of its new generation RevX-E eddy current separators are on the
rise, especially to materials recovery facilities. The units are said
to be exceptionally good at recovering beverage cans. "Independent tests prove our RevX-E units throw aluminum material nearly
20 percent farther than other brands," noted Chris Ramsdell, recycling product manager. "This extra distance improves aluminum
grade and increases recovery, resulting in substantially more profits for recyclers."
Designed for separation of nonferrous metals, the units feature
an eccentrically mounted magnetic rotor within the non-conductive larger diameter shell. The rotor concentrates its eddy current
forces into a zone of separation at the end of the belt. By focusing
its field, this design ignores ferrous material in the flow. The eccentric rotor design reduces long-term wear due to heated ferrous
build up.
The company offers two rotor assemblies to conquer the challenges of various recycling industry applications: LT2 and ST22.
The LT2 8-pole rare earth eccentric rotor assembly is designed to
sort coarse material greater than 1-inch. The ST22 is a 22-pole
rare earth eccentric rotor assembly designed for recovery of nonferrous fines sized less than 1-inch. "The eccentric design incorporated into both rotor options protects against potential damage
from ferrous contamination in the material stream while maintaining a high level of separation performance," explained Ramsdell.
