Fines processing system for scrap shredding

Fines processing system for scrap shredding
The FinesSort is an advanced fines processing system that provides a cost-effective method for recovering metals from the classified fines in a scrap shredding operation. The fines typically represent minus 1/2-inch material screened from the process stream. Traditionally, this material has been too small to treat with conventional process equipment, and has been sent to landfill.

The FinesSort system features a feeder coupled to a magnetic separator and eddy-current separator to produce both a ferrous and non-ferrous metal product. The feeder delivers uniform feed distribution across the width of the magnetic drum separator, and the magnetic separator recovers all ferrous materials in the process stream. Non-ferrous materials such as copper and aluminum from the magnetic separation are delivered to an eddy-current separator where they are recovered.
