STEINERT SteelMaster Compact

Compact secondary cleaning of ferrous scrap with the STEINERT SteelMaster Compact

Efficient ballistic magnetic separation of copper-containing composites and non-magnetic contaminants from ferrous scrap

The machine separates strongly magnetic ferrous particles from copper-containing composites, known as meatballs, as well as from non-magnetic contaminants. The separation process makes use of ballistic effects within a magnetic field. This enables you to obtain a low-copper ferrous fraction and improve the quality of your ferrous product for further marketing or downstream processing steps.

As a compact version for lower mass flows and smaller particle sizes, the STEINERT SteelMaster Compact is designed in particular for materials up to approx. 100 mm. This makes the machine ideally suited to ferrous fractions from WEEE, fine-grained incinerator bottom ash and conventional shredder applications. The STEINERT SteelMaster Compact also demonstrates its strengths in smaller 

auto-shredder streams as well as in the processing of shredded compressors or shredded meatballs from vertical shredders. Wherever effective secondary cleaning of ferrous concentrates is required, it provides an economical and flexible solution.

The separation process uses ballistic effects within an adjustable permanent magnetic field and the effective range of the magnets can be adapted to the respective sorting task. In addition to the magnetic field, both the belt speed and the separating splitter can be adjusted specifically in order to match the separation effect to the input material. In this way, more than 90% of the copper content can be removed. The more strongly magnetic fraction is recovered as a low-copper ferrous product, while composites and non-magnetic contaminants are discharged separately. 

Typical applications for the STEINERT SteelMaster Compact include the secondary cleaning of ferrous concentrates, the treatment of ferrous material from copper concentrates, the processing of WEEE, fine-grained IBA ferrous fractions and conventional shredder materials, as well as use in smaller auto-shredder applications with throughputs of up to approx. 40 to 50 t/h. Thanks to its design for smaller material flows and smaller particle sizes, the STEINERT SteelMaster Compact is the right solution for applications in which the separation task of the STEINERT SteelMaster is required on a smaller scale.

Your benefits:

  • Removes more than 90% of the copper content and produces a low-copper ferrous product
  • Reliably separates meatballs & composites and specifically removes non-magnetic contaminants
  • Ideal for WEEE and incinerator bottom ash applications
  • Ideal for particle sizes up to 100 mm
  • Available working widths: 500 mm, 1,000 mm and 1,500 mm

Application areas

Auto shredder residue

For decades the STEINERT EddyC eccentric eddy current separator has been the trusted solution for separating out recoverable non-ferrous metals. Equipped with multiple sensors, STEINERT KSS systems can be produced in various configurations to optimally suit the particular task and situation.

Aluminium recycling

As a lightweight, high-performance material, aluminium is increasingly replacing steel, particularly in automotive engineering. This makes the recovery of this metal highly interesting as a value-creating process.

Aluminium recycling

Incineration bottom ash

For the separation of ferromagnetic materials, STEINERT magnets offer the highest separation rates together with outstanding functionality and robustness.

Incineration bottom ash

Foundry residues

Slag often contains larger lumps of metal or metal particles coated by other substances. Here, recycling is worthwhile in terms of recovery of the metal component.
