In testing laboratories, it is essential to determine the amount of ferrous material present in a mixed waste stream and understand how it can be efficiently recovered. The use of laboratory-scale magnetic separation equipment enables highly accurate analysis of ferrous metal content, improves the purity of recovered fractions, and supports the optimization of industrial plant performance and layout. Through repeated testing, laboratories can develop effective strategies to increase recovery rates and ensure the quality of sorted recyclable materials.
The operating principle of StokkermilLab magnetic separators is based on the attraction exerted by a magnetic field on ferromagnetic materials. When the material stream passes near the magnetic system, ferrous particles are attracted and separated, while non-magnetic materials continue along the process flow without interference. This mechanism ensures fast, reliable, and precise separation, making laboratory tests highly effective and enabling small-scale simulation of industrial recycling processes.
StokkermilLab magnetic separators are widely used for analyzing materials derived from electronic waste (WEEE), shredded metal scrap, industrial processing residues, and demolition waste streams. These tests allow operators to estimate the recovery potential of ferrous metals and design more efficient recycling strategies, contributing to the development of sustainable and innovative material recovery processes.
Thanks to their precision and the ability to simulate various operational configurations, laboratory magnetic separators are indispensable tools in ferrous metal research and recycling labs. They enhance recovery efficiency, increase the purity of reclaimed materials, and support innovation in recycling technologies, becoming a key reference point for professionals involved in developing sustainable industrial processes.
