Eriez Develops Eco-Certification for Magnetic Separation, Feeding, Recycling Equipment
Eriez, Erie, Pa., USA, reports that it has developed an eco-certification designation for a variety of its magnetic separation and recycling equipment as well as its line of small feeders. The self-certified program will expand into other product categories after an internal analysis.
Equipment identified by Eriez for the Eco-Certified designation has met several criteria:
- The products have a positive impact on recycling processes and the recycling industry
- They are manufactured with energy-savings features, including the use of energy-free permanent magnets
- All equipment is built in an Eriez facility that focuses on recycling consumables, driving down energy usage and drastically reducing solid landfill waste
- An electronic, paperless format is used when promoting the selected equipment; when marketed using hard copy, promotional material is printed on recycled paper.
The Eco-Certified equipment comprises magnetic separation products, including the entire line of plate and grate magnets and liquid line traps. The designation also applies to the company's line of ProGrade® Magnetic Separators.
The certification also extends to the company's high-end recycling equipment, including the ProSort, ProSort II, and FinesSort metals recovery systems and eddy current separators. Additionally, Eriez' line of Hi-Vi electromagnetic feeders are Eco-Certified.
