Models

STEINERT offers by far the widest range of non-ferrous metal separators. This guarantees finding the most cost effective solution for every application! The wide range of models is based on three series of units with special magnetic pole systems and working widths ranging from 400 to 2000 mm (16“- 80“).

The Small Series 36 is suitable for coarse, light material with grain sizes greater than 15 mm (5/8“) and low volume. The separation of beverage cans (UBC) is a typical application.

The Standard Series 50 functions with medium grain sizes – larger than 5 mm – and with high throughputs. The selectivity is also higher than that of the Small Series and additionally offers the plant operator security in case of variations in throughput and materials – smaller packaging and composite materials can be reliably recovered. The separation of shredder non-ferrous fraction is a typical application.

The Series 61 is optimally used with particle sizes of 1 to 20 mm. It ensures the highest yields of metals, from fine materials usually considered inseparable. Typical applications include the fine fraction of shredder waste or old foundry sands from the aluminium industry.

To ensure maximum cost-benefit ratio, STEINERT also offers special belts, discharge arrangements and controls specially designed for the respective applications. The optional rotary splitter, for example, improves the discharge of long, stringy materials. Available controls make it possible to link the unit to a central plant control or utilize the rotation of the rotor to drive the belt in the event of a power cut. This is one way to avoid damage to the drum shell. STEINERT engineers have developed tried and tested special solutions in intensive cooperation with customers. For example, the so-called pole fed system is used to separate non-ferrous heavy metals and aluminium by shape. This involves reversing the direction of rotation of the magnetic pole system. The separation immediately occurs after the vertex of the head drum. Compact, spherical parts caused to rotate by the magnetic pole system and roll in the opposite direction of the belt travel into the discharge beneath the pole drum. Flat or wire-shaped parts, in contrast, are discharged in the belt direction of travel.
