According to Eriez, by incorporating the company’s Shred1 Ballistic Separator into their operations, scrap processors can increase their profits with the ability to supply a very high-grade ferrous product to steel mills. This state-of-the-art unit is engineered to efficiently separate iron-rich ferrous from much of the mixed metals and waste material in a post-drum magnet flow, and automatically produces a premium low-copper shred.
Shred1 uses the power of ballistics to deliver two distinct fractions: a premium #1 shred with less than 0.20 percent copper content, and a traditional #2 grade shred. Ultimately, Eriez says, the Shred1 gives scrap processors an advantage to demand a higher price per ton for their top-quality ferrous shred.
To further enhance recovery, Eriez recommends pairing a Shred1 Ballistic Separator with a P-Rex permanent rare earth magnetic drum, referred to as the CleanStream Process. Not only does the CleanStream Process recover more ferrous and concentrate 75 percent of the post-drum magnet flow into a low-copper premium shred, it also eliminates the need for a scavenger magnet, a z-box air system and hand picking the entire flow.
