Plastics Industry Equipment

Eriez is World Authority in the manufacturing of equipment to ensure product integrity, offering a full line of both X-Ray and Metal Detection Systems. Whether looking for metal contaminants (ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless steel), foreign objects (bones and stones) or package voids, Eriez can assist with all such applications.

The Sight Glass Magnet removes tramp metal contamination from plastic resin pellets as it passes through a site glass loader on its way to a molding machine.

Eriez' new PolyMag Process can dramatically cut the cost of recycling plastics.

Eriez manufactures the broadest range of metal detectors in the industry. Whether looking for small ferrous or nonferrous metal pieces, we can provide you with a metal detector to solve all your metal contamination problems. Contact us for assistance in selecting the appropriate model for your application.

Remove unwanted ferrous metals to protect equipment from damage or improve the downstream purity of your product. Seven magnetic strengths are available. They can be installed in chutes, feed tables, over conveyor belts, at the discharge end of a conveyor or screener or underneath a Vibratory Feeder. Sizes range from 4 to 72-inches (102 to 1828mm). Available in stainless steel and sanitary construction, with tapered steps and removable face plates.

Extract fine to large pieces of ferrous metal when installed in steep-sloped, odd and irregular-shaped hoppers or vertical closed chutes and ducts. Available with Xtreme Rare Earth RE6HP tube circuitry in all models, including Drawer and Wing-type Grates, Grates in Housing and Rota-Grates.

Automatically remove small and large ferrous contaminants from material processing lines. All Drum Separators may be placed in a dust-tight housing and fed by a Vibratory Feeder for optimum performance. Powerful permanent magnets enable more efficient separation performance for a broad range of plastics applications.

Exceptionally high-speed feeding of light, bulky materials. Quick stopping characteristic assures accurate handling of materials for economy and efficiency in mixing, weighing, batching, packaging, and bagging operations. Highly recommended for use with Magnetic Separation equipment to ensure a uniform product flow to the magnets, which greatly improves the separation of ferrous metals.

High capacity gyratory units for high viscosity liquid/solid separation, and wet or dry classification. Easy operation when tuning to specific feed rate, product and separation requirements. No damping under loads. Long screen life. Inline screeners are also available.

Models for applications ranging from small hoppers to large bunkers. AC operated units provide efficient, economical movement of hard to handle bulk materials (e.g., pigments, powders, etc.).

Space-saving system with positive holding action for vertical, inclined or horizontal materials handling. Move components at variable speeds. Systems designed and engineered to custom specifications.

High intensity, high gradient electromagnetic filters to remove fine, ferrous contaminants from dry granules and powders and provide the highest level of ferrous contamination removal.

Electrostatic separators efficiently separate conductive and nonconductive particles such as chopped wire and computer scrap. Electrostatic separation relies on the difference in surface conductivity of the materials to be separated.

New, stronger permanent magnetic separators for product purification and removal of weakly magnetic materials.

Magnetic Humps provide a simple and effective way to remove tramp iron contamination from gravity or pneumatically conveyed dry, free flowing products. Using two plate magnets in a dogleg shaped housing, the Magnetic Hump takes advantage of the density of the ferrous material. The heavier metallics are more likely to work their way toward the face of the magnet, increasing the probability of capture. With the two magnets and dogleg housing, the design is such that if ferrous metal is not removed with the first magnet, it will be captured by the second.

From individual pieces of equipment to turnkey systems, Eriez specialized sampling systems are ideal for helping to monitor quality control in high volume production lines.

Using a plate magnet in a round pipe, Round pipe Separators provide a simple and effective way to remove tramp iron contamination from gravity or pneumatically conveyed dry, free flowing products.

Excellent method to detect and remove ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless metal contaminants from gravity fed dry powders or plastic pellets. Available in pipe sizes of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 inches.

Assure accurate flow of pellets or other dry bulk materials to weigh scales, packaging and bagging equipment and small batch operations. Three models available with feed rates of up to 15tph (13.6mtph). Custom models available for specific requirements.

The E-Z Tec® 9100, a free-fall metal separator, incorporates high sensitivity balanced coil technology and is designed to tackle both ferrous and non-ferrous metal contamination problems in a variety of industries, including plastics, wood, textiles and recycling.
