Dynamic pulley separator Eriez has added dynamic pulley separators to its extensive line of equipment for recycling. The separators employ a rare earth permanent magnet that rotates to create an agitating magnetic field that removes entrapped steel from recycled materials. A typical installation positions the dynamic pulley separator upstream from an eddy current separator, which then addresses non-ferrous material in the stream.
What’s new? The dynamic pulley separators, which are available in 40-inch and 60-inch widths.
Benefits Improved material purity and profitability. Efficient removal of metals eases the burden on downstream equipment, boosts the recycled plastic stream’s quality and prevents damage to downstream equipment. The separator can also be fitted with weaker magnetic drums to recover weakly magnetic fines from the material stream.
