Magnetic separation for plastics and rubber – Equiplast Barcelona 2026

June 2 to 5, 2026, Gauss Magneti will be exhibiting at Equiplast Barcelona 2026 at the Protecnic 1967 stand – Pavilion 3, Level 0, Street C, Stand 91 – with magnetic separation solutions for the plastics, rubber, and industrial recycling sector.

In plastics processing and recovery, the removal of ferrous and non-ferrous metals impacts material quality, production continuity, and machine protection.

 

Metal separation in plastics and rubber processes

In recycling and processing plants, the materials handled are increasingly complex:

 

• mixed and contaminated plastics;
• fine particle sizes;
• non-ferrous metals that are difficult to separate;
• high final purity requirements.

 

In this context, magnetic separation helps to:

 

• improve the quality of recovered fractions;
• reduce contamination in the final material;
• protect machines and production lines;
• optimize process stability.

 

High-frequency eddy current separation, for maximum precision on fine fractions

For complex materials and fine fractions, one of the most effective technologies is high-frequency eddy current (Eddy Current) separation.

 

The ECSE HF separator is designed for applications on plastic flakes, mixed plastics (PET, HDPE, PVC, LDPE, PP, PS), WEEE fractions, post-shredding residues (ASR), and fine materials with high metallic contamination.

 

The goal is to improve the purity of recovered material, increasing the value of the final fraction and reducing useful material losses.

    Magnetic separation applications in plastics recycling

    Gauss Magneti solutions find application in:

     

    • plastics and flakes recycling;
    • plastics processing plants;
    • post-consumer material recovery;
    • WEEE plants;
    • metal recovery from ASR;
    • composite material treatment.

     

    In these processes, magnetic separation contributes not only to the quality of the final material, but also to the stability and reliability of the production line.

     

    Gauss Magneti: process-based engineering

    The choice of separation technology depends on actual operating conditions:

     

    • type of material processed;
    • contamination level;
    • particle size;
    • line configuration;
    • recovery and purity targets.

     

    That is why Gauss Magneti develops solutions designed around the process, with the goal of improving overall plant performance.

     

    During Equiplast 2026, visitors will have the opportunity to consult with our technical team about real-world applications in the plastics and industrial recycling sector.

     

    We look forward to seeing you from June 2 to 5 at the Protecnic 1967 stand – Pavilion 3, Level 0, Street C, Stand 91 – Fira Barcelona Gran Via in Barcelona.
