ELECTRO-MECHANICAL METAL SORTER
The Eriez Pro Sort Metal Sorter uses a conveyor belt and sensors, but replaces air actuators with patent-protected electromechanical paddles. Units are modular and are ideal for scrap metal applications, employing nominal two-inch wide “motorized paddles” that create a powerful “kicking” action, which launches metals into sorting stations. When the sensors detect a piece of metal on the belt, the control circuit energizes the appropriate paddle at the moment the metal passes above, causing it to be flipped over a splitter, and separating it from the nonmetallic product stream.
Pro Sort is designed as a replacement for traditional, costly air systems installed downstream of Eddy Current Separators, which require air compressors in the range of 125 hp or larger to furnish the high volume of clean, dry air necessary to operate The ProSort segregates waste material, ferrous and non-ferrous metals and stainless steel in a single operation. Half the belt on these units can recover metals from waste, and half can sort stainless from nonferrous.
