FinesSort - Fines Metal Recovery System Brochure

Fines Metal Recovery SystemEriez new FinesSort Metal Recovery System is the ultimate in fine particle metal reclamation.FinesSort’s series of powerful magnetic components recover valuable ferrous and non-ferrous metals from the fines waste stream in scrap yards. This system not only reduces the amount of waste destined for landfill, but reclaims valuable material.Featuresl Recover metals less than 25mm diameter.l Throughputs from 2 tons per hour.l Designed for ease of installation into new and existing recycling plants.l 1000mm, 1200mm and 1500mm feed widths available.MMPB930UKEriez Magnetics Europe LimitedEuropean Manufacturing, Design and Test Laboratory HeadquartersBedwas House Industrial Estate Greenway, Bedwas Caerphilly, CF83 8YG, UKT: +44 (0)29 2086 8501F: +44 (0)29 2085 1314E: eriez@eriezeurope.co.ukwww.eriez.comMANUFACTURING AFFILIATES IN: AUSTRALIA BRAZIL CHINA INDIA JAPAN MEXICO SOUTH AFRICA SPAIN USABath Design Centre 0811Shredder residueFerrousHighly magnetic finesWeakly magnetic fineswasteOBM feederSee Stage 2 for non-ferrous recoveryThe value of Fines recoveryTypically, scrap yard operators have been concerned with reclaiming the larger sized non-ferrous metals. The smaller sized materials that have passed through the initial screening process are discarded and sent to landfill.The smaller material referred to as ‘fines’ represents roughly 20% of the original total flow. Depending on the product mix approximately 5% of this is recyclable metals. The FinesSort reclaims these valuable metals.chuteRare Earth DrumFerrite DrumnewFrom left to right:Rare Earth Permanent Magnetic Drum in Stage 1 FinesSortEriez Eddy Current Separator removing non ferrous metals in Stage 2 FinesSortInset: A 1m wide complete FinesSort unitThis first stage of the Eriez FinesSort is used to remove ferrous metals from shredder residue and split into two different fractions. Material first passes over a Rare Earth Permanent Magnetic Drum (Stage 1a) to remove all ferrous metals from the shredder and then on to a Ferrite Permanent Magnetic Drum (Stage 1b) to separate the highly magnetic material from the weakly magnetic material.The waste stream that is produced when separating the ferrous metals in Stage 1 can very often contain valuable non-ferrous metals which would end up going to landfill. Using a combined Stage 1 FinesSort with a RevX ST or RevX-E ST Eriez Eddy Current Separator (Stage 2) will remove these metals bringing more value to the reclaimed metals.Eriez can supply each stage of the FinesSort separately or as a complete FinesSort unit.Stage 1 Stage 2Weakly Magnetic Fraction5.7% Weakly magnetic metals recovered by the Ferrite Permanent Magnetic Drum (Stage 1b).Non ferrous Metal Fraction9.7% Non-ferrous metals recovered by the Eddy Current Separator (Stage 2).Non metallic Waste Fraction69.9% non-metal.Highly Magnetic Fraction14.7% highly magnetic metals recovered by the Ferrite Permanent Magnetic Drum (Stage 1b).Recovered metals
