The Steinert UMP Multipol provides a solution for enriching and cleaning ferrous concentrates. By changing the magnetic polarity several times, the material is turned over multiple times beneath the conveyor belt, removing non-magnetic impurities effectively. This greatly improves the quality of the ferrous fractions. Furthermore, copper losses in ferrous concentrates can be significantly reduced in Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) applications.

The overhead suspension magnet with permanent magnets lifts ferromagnetic pieces of scrap (predominantly iron) out of the material flow against gravity. The innovative process of changing polarity turns the attracted pieces of iron over several times, releasing non-magnetic impurities. At the end of the conveyor belt, the cleaned ferrous material is discharged separately. Using permanent magnets ensures that only minimal levels of energy are required.

Steinert names shredder light fractions, handling e-scrap, processing demolition waste and sorting commercial waste as the main areas of use

According to the company, the UMP Multipol can be easily integrated into existing systems.
