SEPARATION OF LIGHT IRON METALS (R-INOX)
INTRODUCTION
Within the metals, iron metals should be considered as the highest percentage elements and are the most
easily captured by magnetic fields.
However, the light iron metals, similar to stainless steel, are sometimes highly difficult to separate, whether
it's because of their little magnetic remanence or even for being joined, in proportion, to large non-iron
fragments that make their process and separation more difficult.
Aware of this problem, REGULATOR-CETRISA has developed a complete line of Equipments for Separating
and Recycling LIGHT Iron or VERY LOW Iron Metals (R-INOX), similar to stainless steel, for separating,
recycling and recovering them.
PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE and CHARACTERISTICS
The functioning physical principle of the Separator of Very Low Iron Metals (R-INOX) is the creation, in the
output drum at the end of the conveyor belt, of an intense magnetic field that acts on the iron metals and
also on the light iron metals, such as stainless steel.
The Separator of Very Low Iron Metals (R-INOX) is made up of a robust metallic structure. This structure is
the support for two drums and the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt moves over an antimagnetic stainless
steel table that guarantees a perfect horizontality. It also has an automatic
maintenance system for the centre of the belt to guarantee its correct operation.
The output drum is a magnetic roller made up of Neodymium-Ferrous-Boron (NdFeB) magnets, in studied
configurations, which are the magnets that provide the most energy on the market. This intense magnetic
potential is also capable of separating small iron material that other equipment, such as an overband, has
not been able to attract and separate.
REGULATOR-CETRISA offers equipment with effective working widths of up to 2,500 mm. and with
different drums adapted to the flows and characteristics of the materials that should be processed. For this
reason that there is working equipment in many different sectors, such as: RAEE, VFU, wood, plastic, etc.
Besides the separation of materials similar to stainless steels, other regular applications of the Separator of
Very Low Iron Metals (R-INOX) are, for example:
· For the treatment of wood, after the pre-crushing, the R-INOX equipment can separate fragments
of wood that have any small remains of embedded iron (nails, studs…).
· When profiles of aluminium are processed, they often have embedded nails and studs
ofcontaminating iron metal. With the R-INOX equipment, these profiles are separated from the
material flow.
