Applications

Our magnetic separation equipment and bespoke recycling solutions serve metal recyclers, waste management facilities, and specialist processors handling shear scrap, auto shredder residue, electronic waste (e-waste), incineration bottom ash, construction waste, plastics recycling, and glass recovery operations.

Each system is tailored to your specific material characteristics and throughput requirements, with custom conveyors, hoppers and material handling equipment engineered for seamless integration.

Selecting the most effective separation system depends on your material type, particle size, throughput, and overall processing objectives. At BlakerTech, our technologies are designed to help processors maximise recovery, purity, and efficiency, whatever the challenge.

The MagThro Eddy Current Separator delivers powerful, high-throughput separation of non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, brass, and zinc from mixed waste streams. Its high-intensity magnetic rotor and continuous magnetic flow achieve exceptional separation performance across both heavies and fine fractions, ensuring consistent results even in demanding applications.

Ideal for:

• Shredded metal recovery and scrap processing lines
• Packaging and aluminium can recycling
• Construction and demolition waste streams
• E-waste and WEEE recovery systems

Key benefits:

• Maximises non-ferrous metal recovery
• Reduces manual sorting and improves product quality
• Handles high-volume throughput with reliability and precision

The SandFlo system provides low-cost, water-free separation of secondary metals and minerals based on density. It’s particularly effective for recovering aluminium, zinc, copper, and brass fractions from mixed non-ferrous materials after initial processing.

Ideal for:

• Downstream “polishing” stages following eddy current separation
• Operations handling mixed, irregular, or fine non-ferrous scrap
• Facilities where water use is restricted, costly, or environmentally regulated

Key benefits:

• Fully dry process – no water or effluent treatment required
• Excellent density-based separation for high-value metal recovery
• Compact, efficient, and cost-effective for secondary processing lines

Absolutely. BlakerTech systems are specifically engineered for real-world conditions where materials arrive contaminated with plastics, rubber, wood, ash, or other non-metallic substances.

Our technology separates target metals regardless of contamination levels, often achieving better results than manual sorting or conventional mechanical methods. We design complete bespoke solutions that address your entire material flow, from initial feeding through to final collection.

Our equipment is engineered to recover a broad spectrum of non-ferrous metals, including aluminium, copper, brass, zinc, lead, and more.

Recovery efficiency and throughput are influenced by particle size, material density, and the selected processing technology.

The MagThro system effectively handles both heavy and fine metal fractions, while the SandFlo unit achieves high-precision separation based on density differentials.

BlakerTech designs separation systems to retrofit seamlessly into incumbent processing lines. We work closely with your team to understand current workflows, space constraints, and upstream or downstream equipment, then engineer solutions that integrate smoothly without disrupting existing operations.

Our expertise extends beyond separation equipment to include custom conveyors, hoppers, feeders, and material handling systems.

We provide bespoke engineering rather than off-the-shelf products. Every system is designed specifically for your materials and operational requirements.

Our decades of hands-on expertise, combined with comprehensive technical support and ongoing optimisation services, ensure we deliver a product that adds value and supports your operational growth.

Yes. AI sorting technology requires clean, well-prepared material to function optimally. Our eddy current separators and fluidised bed systems pre-sort and clean material streams, removing contaminants and separating metals by type.

This upstream preparation dramatically improves AI sorting accuracy and throughput, delivering better overall facility performance.

Results vary by application, but clients typically achieve a minimum 5–10% increase in metal recovery rates compared to their existing processing setups.

They also experience improved product purity, reduced manual sorting, and the capacity to handle higher throughput volumes. Many operators report recovering valuable metals from waste streams that were previously considered unrecoverable.
