PROVIDING SOLUTIONS, NOT JUST EQUIPMENT
Without the PolyMag™ process companies making
parts with co-molded materials either incurred the
costs to dispose of these parts, losing the valuable
resins or they added expensive labor to manually try
to separate different plastics. Manual separation
often involves band saws, razor knives and peeling
that add ergonomic and employee safety risks.
AEC and Eriez provide progressive multi-material
processors with a simple method to reduce the cost
of waste.
POLYMAG™ PLASTICS SEPARATOR
PRODUCT BENEFITS
Today’s designers and manufacturers are turning to
two shot injection molding, over-molding, co extruded
profiles and sequential 3-D blow molding to produce
the most cost effective new designs. This results in
reduced assembly costs, better part consistency and
higher quality at a lower overall costs. These
sophisticated moldings are more challenging to
design, tool and mold. One challenge that processors
face, in producing multi-material moldings, is
segregating and recovering dissimilar resins. AEC
and Eriez now offer a solution to this problem.

The PolyMag™ Process provides an effective and
automated means to recover manufacturing scrap and
waste for multi-material processors. To do this the
PolyMag™ additive is incorporated into one of the
polymers prior to molding, similar to colorant, making
this resin susceptible to the very strong magnetic field
produced in the Erium™ Rare Earth roll separator.
Scrap parts are run through a traditional granulator
and the PolyMag™ separator can then separate the
mixed polymer regrind.
