Why are Magnetic Separators Indispensable in Wood Waste Recycling?

Recycling of wood waste is an important part of modern waste processing. This process not only saves natural resources but also contributes to environmental sustainability.

One of the main problems in wood processing and recycling is the presence of metallic impurities. These can damage both the recycling equipment and significantly affect the resulting material quality. Just in this respect, magnetic separators play a cardinal role.

What Are the Challenges of Wood Waste Recycling?

Wood waste often contains various types of metallic admixtures, including:

  • Nails, screws, and clasps from dismantling furniture or building structures.
  • Ferrous and non-ferrous metals, e. g.  from electrical equipment or metal frames.
  • Tiny metal particles that are difficult to identify without the use of advanced technologies.

These metal impurities can damage equipment, reduce the quality of the final products, and increase the cost of the entire recycling process.

The Importance of Magnetic Separators for Wood Waste Recycling

Magnetic separators play an irreplaceable role in the recycling process and contribute to environmental sustainability in several ways:

  • Reducing waste on landfills - Magnetic separators effectively separate metallic impurities from wood material, preparing clean wood waste for further processing.
  • Metal reuse - Separated metals can be recycled and reused, saving primary raw materials and energy.
  • Environmental protection - Metal separation minimizes soil and water contamination and promotes sustainable recycling.

Types of Magnetic Separators Suitable for Wood Recycling

There are several types of magnetic separators that can be used for efficient recycling of wood waste:

1. Overband Magnets - are ideal for the separation of ferrous metals directly on the sorting line. They are perfect for processing large volumes of wood waste.

2. ML - Plate Magnetic Separators  - Magnetic lanterns are specially designed separators able to trap even finer ferromagnetic particles.

3. ECS - Non-Magnetic Metal Separators - ECS separators are used for the separation of non-ferrous metals.They separate metal particles already from the size 1 mm with 99% efficiency.

4. MB - Magnetic Drums - They enable continuous separation of ferromagnetic particles from bulk materials. Permanent magnets effectively segregate ferrous metals without interrupting operation.

5. MBZ - Housed Magnetic Drums  - The box design ensures the unattended separation of metallic impurities and protects technological equipment from damage at the same time.

6. MV - Magnetic Rollers - They are installed in the conveyor belt and ensure automatic separation of ferrous metals. They carry the trapped dirt behind the roller axis where they are separated from the clean material.
