Soon to be the biggest blog on Recycling Magnets

Our aim is to inform propriators of recycling plants about the wide range of ferrous and non ferrous magnetic separating machines available on the market. There are so many options and there is no such thing as "the best magnetic sorting machine". It all depends on the recyclates, on the plant line and its machinery, ie. the shredders, balers, conveyors and so forth, the budget and ofcourse the preferences of the holder of the plant. That being said, it is important to be well informed with regards to this very specific device within a whole system of machines.

Let's begin with asking ourselves what magnets actually do within a factory.

The goal of any recycling factory is to convert junk into useful reusable material. An example may explain what makes separating machines an invaluable and treasured asset in a plant line. Raw materials of a computer consist of lead, nickel, platinum, silver, tantalum, cobalt, neodymium, tin, copper, aluminum, gold and palladium. The computer in its original form is just scrap. However, if you separate all the substances that your PC or laptop consist of, then it's worth a lot more.

A wide range of different kinds of magnets are used for separating ferrous and non ferrous material. All of them use different techniques and work flows. In the menu on the right side of the blog, you'll find a range of categories that are used in the industry. In the introduction I've said that the right machine depends on the recycling line you have.
