Material
Describe composition, size, moisture and contamination. Include what changes between batches.
APPLICATIONS FOR MAGTHRO
Your material.
A considered process.
BlakerTech works across metal, waste and glass recycling. The right role for MagThro depends on the feed arriving at the machine and the output you need.
01 — METAL RECYCLING
Recover the metal
in a mixed stream.
MagThro’s eddy current technology can recover conductive non-ferrous metals from shredded and mixed material. BlakerTech identifies scrap processing, automotive shred and WEEE among its applications.
The project question is not simply whether metal is present. Consider where it is being lost today, how the feed is prepared and what quality of recovered fraction your next process requires.
Build the discussion around
- The range of particle sizes reaching the separator.
- Upstream ferrous removal and the distribution of material on the belt.
- The intended route for recovered metals and the remaining material.
02 — WASTE RECYCLING
Look again at
what leaves the line.
BlakerTech’s wider applications include construction waste, packaging, plastics recycling and post-shredder residues. MagThro provides a non-ferrous recovery stage within a suitably prepared process.
A waste stream can vary between loads. Describe both the usual material and the difficult batches when discussing a system, rather than selecting a sample only because it is easy to separate.
Questions worth testing
- Is recoverable metal still reaching a waste fraction?
- How much does the feed mix change during normal operation?
- What screening or feeding changes should be considered upstream?
03 — GLASS RECYCLING
Put metal recovery
in the right place.
Metal contamination matters in glass recycling. BlakerTech highlights items such as caps, seals and fixtures as challenges for downstream glass processing.
MagThro can be discussed as a stage for recovering conductive non-ferrous contamination. A complete process may require other equipment for other contaminants; an eddy current separator is not a universal glass-cleaning system.
Define the output
- Identify the metal contaminants and their typical size.
- Explain the intended end use and the output criteria.
- Review samples from both recovered and remaining fractions.
PLAN THE APPLICATION
A useful specification
starts with useful information.
Use these four areas to prepare for a conversation with the engineering team.
Capacity
Explain current and intended feed rates, working hours and any upstream bottleneck.
Site
Bring the layout, access constraints and details of existing feeding and collection equipment.
Outcome
Define the fractions you want and how you will judge their usefulness. Agree trial objectives around them.
