Eriez will be both a presenter and exhibitor at the Bureau of International Recycling (BIR) World Recycling Convention and Exhibition, held May 26-28, 2025, at the Feria Valencia Convention Centre in Valencia, Spain.
The company will highlight its industry-leading Shred1 Ballistic Separator, a revolutionary technology that enhances ferrous scrap purity, boosts recovery efficiency, and increases profitability for recyclers.
Visitors to Stand S04 will have the opportunity to explore Eriez’ latest innovations in metal separation and connect with industry experts. A key highlight will be a presentation by Manuel Andreis, Eriez Area Sales Manager for Italy, who will detail how Shred1 technology optimises scrap processing. Using ballistics-based separation, the Shred1 efficiently sorts iron-rich ferrous materials from mixed metals after the drum magnet stage, resulting in two high-value fractions:
Premium Low-Copper Ferrous Product – With copper content below 0.2%, this fraction exceeds current market requirements and commands higher prices. Traditional #2 Shred – A mixed metal fraction, ready for further processing or recycling.
By incorporating the Shred1 Ballistic Separator, scrap processors can significantly reduce copper contamination, meet the rising demand from steel mills for low-copper shred, and eliminate manual sorting—thereby reducing labour costs and increasing operational efficiency.
Liam Gulwell, Eriez’ Regional Business Development Manager for UK & Ireland, commented, “Shred1 has proven to be a game-changer for our clients across the globe. As steelmakers increasingly demand premium low-copper shred, this breakthrough technology empowers recyclers to unlock new levels of performance and profitability in a fiercely competitive market.”
The BIR World Recycling Convention is a premier global event, attracting over 1,500 industry professionals for expert-led discussions, market insights, and networking opportunities.
Eriez invites attendees to visit Stand S04 to discover how its cutting-edge recycling solutions, including the Shred1 Ballistic Separator, are transforming ferrous scrap processing.
