Ferrous Recovery
Shred1 Ballistic Separator
Shred1 from Eriez uses ballistics to efficiently separate iron-rich ferrous from much of the mixed metals post-drum magnet flow. This separator delivers two distinct fractions: a premium low-copper ferrous product (in the range of 0.16-0.20% cu) and a traditional #2 shred.
The Shred1 ballistic separator combined with a PokerSort to extract long, troublesome pokers, and a P-Rex permanent rare earth magnetic drum improves the entire process. Not only does this process recover more ferrous and concentrate 75% of the post-drum magnet flow into a low-copper premium shred, but it also reduces hand picking and helps increase recovery of copper-bearing materials.
- Produces a premium #1 low-copper shred
- #1 shred contains less than 0.2% copper
- Reduces picking labor
- No X-Ray scanning needed
- Removes concealed copper

Nonferrous Recovery
Eddy Current Separators
In 1969, Eriez Magnetics patented both permanent magnetic and electromagnetic eddy current separators. Today, these powerful systems feature improved permanent magnetic circuits with rare earth magnetic material for stronger eddy currents and improved separation of nonferrous materials.
In operation, the nonferrous separator utilizes permanent rare earth magnets to induce eddy currents into metallic particles. This produces repelling forces which separate the metallics from non–metallics, providing a cleaner product for further processing. Removal of the metallics is selective and product loss is minimized.
The nonferrous metallic separator consists of an external drum, an internal permanent magnetic rotor, a drive, and belt conveyor. The external drum shell of non–metallic composite material rotates at conventional belt conveyor speed. The internal Rare Earth alternating polarity rotor turns at much higher RPM than the external shell.
Through the induction of eddy currents and the resulting repelling forces, the alternating magnetic field selectively repels the nonferrous metals and physically separates them from other materials with minimum product loss.
Separate Nonferrous Metals
Eddy current separation provides an efficient way to recover valuable nonferrous metals such as aluminum and copper from mixed material streams. By using powerful magnetic fields to separate conductive metals from other materials, the process helps improve material purity.
Recover valuable commodities that would otherwise be lost while improving the efficiency of your recycling process. Whether you're processing recycled materials, municipal waste, or industrial scrap, Welco can help identify the right separation solution for your application.

Improve Product Purity
Remove unwanted metal contamination from recycled material streams to produce cleaner, higher-quality end products. Effective magnetic and eddy current separation helps improve material purity and protect downstream processes.
The result is a more consistent product with fewer contaminants and greater value, while helping ensure recovered materials meet demanding quality specifications.
