| | Dec 20, 2013 — Erie, PA---The groundbreaking PokerSort® from Eriez® offers a solution to ferrous scrap recyclers’ ongoing issues with long, troublesome pokers which can wreak havoc in their operations. PokerSort extracts these difficult materials directly from the shred before the drum magnet.
“How to deal with pokers--including automotive leaf springs, tie rods, steering and axle components and other generally uncooperative long shapes--has been a longstanding dilemma for the industry,” says Mike Shattuck, Product Manager-Recycling. “The PokerSort delivers a simple and effective resolution to this age-old problem.”
As pokers exit the shredder, alignment guides on the incline conveyor position poker-type objects parallel in the flow. As pokers reach the end of the conveyor, they extend beyond the conveyor and are magnetically pulled over the PokerSort and into a chute or conveyor belt where they collect in a bin or bunker.
PokerSorts are belt-driven and available in a range of sizes from 36 to 96-inches wide to meet customers’ unique needs. In most cases, these state-of-the art units can be retrofitted to meet existing ferrous processing set-ups.
