Industry recycling solutions
Eriez Europe is the proud European manufacturing, design and specialist laboratory division of the global Eriez network. With an impressive 3,500m2 manufacturing space and state-of-the art test centre, it is an unparalleled leader in the design and manufacturing of magnetic separation, flotation, metal detection and metal feeding, screening, conveying and controlling equipment for process and metalworking industries.
To enable efficient recycling, the company offers end-to-end metal ferrous and nonferrous recovery through its scrap drum separators, ballistic metal separator and Eddy current separators.

The magnetic scrap drum separators are optimised for MRF/MSW recycling and waste-to-energy facilities. The drums have been favoured for decades in scrap metal yards to separate iron and steel from other materials. Applicable across multiple industries from scrap automotive, municipal solid waste, forestry wood waste, to foundry sand and mineral processing, the deep magnetic fields make light work of ferrous materials recovery.
Powered by advanced design software and magnetic circuits, the permanent drums are designed to function with minimal electrical power, saving on energy costs, without any sacrifice to the maximum field depth of 15 inches (380mm). These drums are hugely advantageous due to low maintenance costs, from the robust corrosionresistant interior materials, to the sparse two- bearing lubrication requirement.
The Eriez Shred1™ ballistic metal separator is also specially engineered for ferrous recovery in scrap recycling. The separator uses ballistics to separate iron-rich ferrous from the mixed metals, providing a low-copper ferrous product & a traditional #2 shred.

Patented by Eriez in 1969, the Eddy Current Separator is used to remove nonferrous metallics in e-scrap processing, plastic recycling, wire chopping & processing, waste to energy and MRF/MSW recycling facilities. Nowadays, the ECS features an enhanced permanent magnetic circuit with rare earth magnetic materials to keep up with the demands of modern waste processing.
Furthermore, the RevX-E® Eddy Current Separators contain an eccentrically mounted rotor that has the distinct advantage of prolonging useability by preventing heated ferrous build-up due to its design. The design purposefully focuses the powerful field at the end of the belt which, in turn, avoids any ferrous in the stream of material.
Eriez is committed to an ethical and green metal recycling service and recently joined The British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) trade association. The BMRA represents the UK metal recycling sector and dispenses the latest legislative information, including environmental issues.
Eriez will be at Ecomondo: Italian Exhibition Group: Rimini Expo Centre, Italy (7-10 November 2023) to discuss the latest innovations in the recovery of metals within the circular economy.
