Plastics Separator & Process

The PolyMag^TM process provides an effective and automated means to recover manufacturing scrap and waste for multi-material processors. To do this the PolyMag^TM additive is incorporated into one of the polymers prior to molding, similar to colorant, making this resin susceptible to the very strong magnetic field produced in the Erium Rare Earth roll separator. Scrap parts are run through a traditional granulator and the PolyMag^TM separator can then separate the mixed polymer regrind.

Without the PolyMag^TM process companies making parts with co-molded materials either incurred the costs to dispose of these parts, losing the valuable resins or they added expensive labor to manually try to separate the different plastics. Manual separation often involves band saws, razor knives, and peeling that add ergonomic and employee safety risks.

• Scrap cost reduction
• Eliminates salvage labor
• Eliminates ergonomic risks
• Improves Material traceability
• Provides consistent materials
• Reduces disposal costs
