Designed to be robust and simple to operate, with no complicated technology to go wrong, the MagThro eddy current system and SandFlo fluidised-bed separator have been tried, tested and are currently being used in demanding industrial environments worldwide.

Avoiding the ‘one size fits all’ approach, BlakerTech prides itself on one to one customer service where a bespoke design is often the best solution. Long-standing client, London Mining Recycling Association (LMA), selected BlakerTech to design, build and install a fully customised twin cascade MagThro eddy current system to withstand long operating hours and sort high volumes of non-ferrous metals at their Aylesford processing plant.

How LMA’s MagThro system works

Mixed materials are fed into a 20 cubic metre hopper that spills/splits down through the hopper onto twin chain conveyors which then feeds the material onto trough conveyors. These take the material up to two cascade eddy current separators. The materials are first fed onto a vibrating feeder tray which spreads the material ready to pass over a 10-pole drum magnet. The magnet separates the ferrous materials into a separate discharge chute. The remaining non-ferrous materials are passed onto a second vibrating feeder tray and then onto the eddy current separator.

SandFlo – uses aerated sand to separate non-ferrous metals

Low-cost to run, quick and efficient at separating, the SandFlo sorts secondary metals and minerals according to their density. The system is a fluidised bed-separator, ideal for the recovery of aluminium, away from the zinc, copper, brass fractions from mixed non-ferrous metals in busy processing plants.

BlakerTech has sold SandFlo systems to customers in Ireland, Germany, Denmark, Holland, Japan and Romania.

The MagThro and SandFlo are handmade in the UK at BlakerTech’s manufacturing facility in the South East of England. As part of their service they also offer full installation, training and support.
