* Master Magnets
Master Magnets Ltd of Redditch, Worcestershire, U.K., has recently won an order from Taiwan for a large electro-magnetic drum to be used in the removal of ferrous material from shredded car residues at a car fragmentiser plant near Shanghai in China. The customer is processing up to 100 tonnes per hour of end-of-life-vehicles and needs to remove as much ferrous material as possible prior to further processing. The order for the equipment was obtained following intensive negotiations.
Following the acquisition of Integrated Recycling Systems Ltd, Master Magnets can now offer shredders, conveyors and complete sorting plants as well as magnetic and non-ferrous (eddy current) separation equipment.
