A new Steinert eddy current captures more nonferrous metal for Sadoff & Rudoy Industries.
 Sadoff & Rudoy Industries LLP, a Wisconsin-based scrap recycling and metals supply company with several locations in the Badger State (plus one in Nebraska), does not make a major purchasing decision without first doing considerable research.
According to John Eide, nonferrous production manager with the Sadoff Iron & Metal division location in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, the company spent two years researching the performance of eddy current units before deciding on a 60-inch Steinert Eddy Current Separator (ECS) that was installed early in 2006.
But the research has paid off with the wise decision to buy the Steinert ECS, according to Eide. “We looked throughout the country and feel that the performance of Steinert was the best for eddy current separation,” he states. “We got a lot of good feedback from people who own them and felt comfortable with their product.”

Steinert’s new Selective Sensor allows Milliron Recycling to purify its nonferrous metal.
 Already happy with its Steinert Eddy Current Separators (NES) and Induction Sorting Systems (ISS), Milliron Recycling, Mansfield, Ohio, was ready to move to the next level when Dennis Ciccotelli of SteinertUS commissioned the company’s first U.S. Selective Sensor feature in their ISS units.
According to Ciccotelli, the Selective Sensor option is new to the North American market in 2005. Although it is new technology, the good news for existing customers is that it can be easily retrofitted to work with existing Steinert ISS units.
“The Selective Sensor is identical in size and shape to the existing ISS sensor that is already popular,” he notes. “The difference is in the internal electronic components and programming.”
What the Selective Sensor does differently from the ISS sensor is seek out a specific type of metal for detection and separation, allowing recyclers to maximize the purity (and thus, shipping value) of a type of metal that is enjoying a boom market.

Steinert systems produce separate metals and waste streams for Milliron Recycling.
 The decision by Milliron Recycling, Mansfield, Ohio, to select and install a shredding system was not made lightly by owner Grant Milliron and his management team.
Critical decisions included not only the brand and size of shredder to choose, but also how to configure the downstream sorting system. “We probably had tours of from eight to 10 shredding operations, with the main purpose being to evaluate our downstream system,” says Grant.
The site visits and research convinced the Milliron Recycling team that a combination of eddy current separators and induction sorting units from Steinert US, would offer the best nonferrous metals recovery capabilities.
Grant Milliron says operating his shredder in a mid-sized market like Mansfield means he’ll have to operate as efficiently as possible. “We don’t have access to the large tonnages available in large metropolitan areas, so it’s important for us to get as high a percentage of the nonferrous metal as possible.”
The company selected two Steinert eddy currents and also decided to become the first North American recycler to operate Steinert’s ISS (Induction Sorting System) 200-400 SU Selective Sensor units, installing two of those as well.
