Industrial Magnetics Inc. (IMI), Boyne City, Michigan, offers a range of heavy-duty separation equipment

Industrial Magnetics Inc. (IMI), Boyne City, Michigan, offers a range of heavy-duty separation equipment designed to protect vital processing equipment from metal damage; improves product purity and quality for high volume belt-conveyed products; features deep-reaching magnetic circuits to supply superior separation capabilities; reclaims valuable ferrous metal; and reduce product liability.

Self-cleaning permanent magnets are designed to separate ferrous metal in a variety of over-the-belt conveyor applications. IMI’s SMS series of magnets offer optimum operating efficiency with a continuous cleaning belt to keep the magnet face free of collected metal. The powerful, deep-reaching magnetic circuit pulls metal to the face of the magnet, where the cleated belt can remove the metal off the end of the magnet and out of the product flow. The compact design of the SMS makes it ideal for use on portable size-reduction equipment.

Manual clean permanent magnets (SPMC) are a good economical solution for applications that require a magnet for equipment protection but don’t encounter enough ferrous metal in their product flow to justify a self-cleaning magnet.

Suspended electromagnets (SEMO) are designed to deliver peak ferrous metal separation performance. The “deep-reaching” magnetic fleld is ideal for applications that require increased suspension heights for the magnet or that have a deep product burden. They also offer optimum separation capacity by removing collected metal from the magnet face instantly and discharging it out of the product flow. This continuous cleaning function allows the magnetic circuit to maintain maximum magnetic strength at all times.

Manual-cleaning SEMOs are best suited for applications with a lower volume of ferrous metal in the product flow or in applications where the system is run intermittently. The ability to turn the magnet off makes removing the collected metal easy for the operator.

Powerful permanent magnetic separation pulleys typically are installed as head pulleys in conveyor system applications. They provide effective, automatic and continuous removal of tramp metal from a material flow. Commonly used in industries such as waste recovery, mining and bulk material processing, our pulleys improve product purity and protect equipment from metal damage.

Drum separators provide ferrous metal removal from dry, bulk products in free-flowing processing systems. The continuously self-clean and can be provided as a complete assembly with the housing and the drive package included or as the magnetic drum only.

IMI’s Javelin eddy current separators (ECS) provide high recovery rates and low operating costs. They’re ideal for a range of applications, including material recovery facilities, C&D, incineration, auto shredding and electronics recycling. Every Javelin™ ECS machine is built with the highest quality materials and to an unmatched quality standard. They have the strongest and deepest field in the industry for a farther throw and a higher and cleaner recovery rate.

The purchase includes two locations in Michigan.

Padnos , with headquarters in Holland, Michigan, has announced the acquisition of Regal Recycling , Howell, Michigan. According to a news release about the purchase, the acquisition includes two locations: the one in Howell, which Padnos will operate, and one in Whitmore Lake, Michigan, which GLR Advanced Recycling , headquartered in Roseville, Michigan, will operate. Padnos acquired a significant interest in GLR in the summer of 2018.

The purchase of Regal Recycling gives the Padnos-GLR partnership 26 locations throughout Michigan.

Padnos President Jonathan Padnos says, “This move furthers regional consolidation and allows us to better serve our customers throughout Michigan. Padnos views Howell as a vibrant and growing community, and we want to be part of that growth.”

Vern Brockway owned Regal Recycling since 1993. At that time, the company operated a single location in Howell. In 2011, Regal opened its recycling center in Whitmore Lake, near Ann Arbor. The 4.5-acre facility includes a 10,000 square-foot warehouse, according to the company’s website.

The Regal facilities offer ferrous and nonferrous metals recycling as well as auto parts salvage and electronics recycling.

Attendees learned about the company’s technology and met its team.

Pellenc ST America , the U.S. subsidiary of the French company Pellenc ST, hosted an open house May 30 at its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina. The event gave the company the opportunity to introduce its optical sorting technology and team to attendees.

Pellenc ST America’s partners, clients and friends attended the open house, which began at noon with lunch provided by a food truck waiting outside the company’s office.

Two hours of technical sessions followed that featured four modules lasting 30 minutes each:
