Waste Management & Handling New Separators for Non-Ferrous and Ferrous Metal Recovery
Eriez (UK) launch the RevX-ETM Eddy Current Separator which is the first Eddy Current Separator from Eriez to have an eccentric magnetic rotor to allow a single point of separation, which is different than the usual concentric design. The RevX-ETM is ideally suited for purifying cullet and plastics, and recovered valuable metal from secondary metals and incineration ash, especially the separation of small particles.
The P-RexTM, a new Permanent Rare Earth XtremeTM Drum Magnet will also be
shown which will bring new benefits to scrap processors. The P-RexTM’s powerful permanent magnetic circuit is up to 40% stronger than Electromagnetic Drums and is capable of moving large spherical objects at twice the distance. This new development will give processors the opportunity to separate fragments of electric motors and alternators
also containing copper, aluminium and steel that is presently missed.
Along with the RevX-E and P-Rex, there will be the launch of the ProSort II Airless Metal Recovery System. The ProSort II which will be present at IFAT includes all the advanced features of the original ProSort, but with twice as many sensors per paddle. The new inverted paddle design means better detection of both larger and smaller metallic’s during processing of shredded automobiles, co-mingled recyclables, electronic scrap and glass cullet as well as many other resource recovery operations.
Also putting in an appearance at the shows will be self cleaning version of the Model CP Suspended Permanent Magnet. Overband
Permanent Suspended Magnets are used to protect valuable crushing and screening equipment against tramp metal damage or simply for removing iron from demolition rubble. The Eriez CP Magnet is robust, requires minimal maintenance, is very simple to install and operate and is very versatile. Along with the CP Magnet, Eriez also offer a TP Suspended Permanent Magnet which are more specialised for the removal of long, thin, sharp metals such as nails, ideal for recycled wood applications.
Along with Magnetic Separators and Metal Sorting equipment, Eriez Europe also design and manufacture Metal Detectors to detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Installing an Eriez Metal Detector on a conveyor belt system will protect downstream machinery from damage caused by tramp iron on the conveyor. They are easy to install and operate and typically consist of a control unit, search coil and connecting cable. Each coil is custom designed to optimise the sensitivity of the Metal Detector to meet the individual customer needs. At the shows Eriez will have an operational Metalarm 3000 Metal Detector. It will be mounted on a conveyor belt and will demonstrate what the Eriez Metal Detectors are capable of.

New Release of Carbon Management Software
Greenstone Carbon Management (UK) has announced the release of version 2.4 of its Acco2unt carbon management software which has been enhanced to meet the changing needs of managing carbon accurately and cost efficiently across the supply chain.
Greenstone’s Acco2unt 2.4 has evolved in three key areas. First, the software incorporates supply chain and product carbon footprinting capability in response to pressure from leading FMCG brands on their suppliers to provide information on environmental performance indicators, including the reporting of carbon emissions. Second, offset and allowance management has been included in the 2.4 release, allowing clients to record voluntary carbon credits purchased across their organisation and the number of CRC allowances purchased throughout the CRC reporting year, together with the ability to track progress against actual performance. The addition of a carbon balance sheet means that clients can now also report their credits and allowances in financial terms. The third enhancement includes improved analysis and reporting dashboards, allowing more comprehensive and granular analysis of carbon emissions, consumption and cost data across the client’s organisation.
Matthew de Villiers, Chief Executive Officer at Greenstone Carbon Management, said, “Acco2unt is now deployed in more than 32 organisations in over 75 countries and our users provide a valuable source of ideas to enhance and advance our functionality. This ensures that development priorities are focused on real client requirements. Management of supply chain and product emissions are still at an evolutionary stage in the market but a number of our clients and prospects are now focusing on these areas having got control of their own operational emissions. This release also addresses the need for increasingly detailed data analysis, often at an operational unit level, as more mature clients move from simply measuring and reporting to the development of more detailed management and reduction strategies.
Many of Greenstone’s global clients are participants in the UK CRC scheme and while details of the revised scheme have not yet been released, the compliance section of Acco2unt has been updated to provide comprehensive allowance tracking and forecasting capability for compliance schemes such as CRC.
Matthew adds, “This latest release of Acco2unt again demonstrates Greenstone’s continued commitment to providing our clients
with a world leading carbon management solution, enabling those responsible for carbon management to continue to realise significant carbon, consumption and cost benefits by using Acco2unt.”

AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals has Completed its REACH Registrations
AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals (The Netherlands), producer of among others chlor-alkali products and derivatives like monochloroacetic acid (MCA), metal salts and dimethylether, has completed all REACH registrations well in advance of the 30 November 2010 deadline. This guarantees the continued supply of all products to our customers.
AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals started working on meeting its obligations under REACH four years ago. The first milestone was reached in 2008 by submitting pre-registrations to the European CHemicals Agency (ECHA). At the same time, the technical REACH dossiers were initiated. Now the registrations have been finalised with the submission of all dossiers to ECHA and the assignment by ECHA of the official registration numbers.
The completion of the registrations is the impressive result of a joint effort of AkzoNobel Industrial Chemicals and the REACH consortia in which it participates. Customers will be kept informed on the up-to-date information of Industrial Chemicals’ products via extended Safety Data Sheets (e-SDS).

‘Particularly in the area of domestic and commercial waste as well as with heavy materials such as mattresses, HGV tarpaulin covers and large pressed bales, the progress is huge,’ says MeWa Managing Director Ulrich Hink, listing the main application areas of the new machine. Furthermore, the AlphaCutter is ideally suited for the preparation of bulky waste. But the slow-running rotor also shreds solid metal parts with remarkable persistency. The heavy weight of the machine and the arrangement of the blades ensure stability and vibration-free operation.
The pre-shredding machine is supplemented with a compatible further processing line consisting of granulator, conveyor and separation technology, thus providing an ideal solution for the production of residue derived fuels. Here, MeWa offers the complete technology from one source, from the conceptual planning to the turnkey system.
The AlphaCutter has already convinced future users in a
practical test. It demonstrated a new dimension, not only in its throughput performance but also in the quality of the output. The machine shreds the materials into equal, approximately palm-sized pieces. The result supplies ideal requirements for the subsequent granulation process. Thanks to the manner of pre- shredding, it was possible to increase the throughput in the granulator by more than 30 per cent,’ says Ulrich Hink, describing the performance of the new development.
