Javelin Manufacturing Introduces Eddy Current Separator
Javelin Manufacturing, based in Fort Wayne, Ind., has introduced an eddy current separator designed for the material recovery facility (MRF) market.
Javelin says its eddy current units are designed for ease of maintenance, featuring easy-access lubrication points, easy guard removal, a mechanical belt tensioning system and one-piece belt changes. Options include two- or three-split splitter box, vibratory feeders, controls and more, depending on the application.
The Javelin line includes specialized UBC (used beverage container) eddy currents as well as "higher performance" units for use in glass cleanup systems and electronic scrap recovery that are capable of capturing smaller nonferrous particles, according to the company.

CP Manufacturing Makes Design Changes
CP Manufacturing, National City, Calif., has implemented a design change to its CPScreens and NEWScreens that features bolt-on shafts, eliminating the need to remove the entire rotor (or tube) for maintenance, the company says.
"Instead of removing the shaft, removing all of the discs and pulling the rotor through the side of the screen, our customers can now un-bolt the shaft and lift the rotor to replace," says Jim Weller, CP special projects manager.
"CP equipment is designed and built to provide the most efficient and reliable continual service," says Dirk Kantak, CP Manufacturing’s sales manager. "Combined with CP’s unique bolt-on discs, this means less maintenance and greatly reduced downtime."
CP Manufacturing is part of the CP Group. More information is available at www.cpmfg.com.
Midwest Scrap Puts New Baler to Work
Missouri-based scrap recycler Midwest Scrap Management has purchased a new two-ram baler made by Harris, Peachtree City, Ga.
According to a news release from Harris, Midwest Scrap Management needed the HRB Centurion 150-13/9 baler because of its expansion in the Kansas City market and the addition of several new accounts.
The company has been raising its nonferrous scrap intake to as much 500 tons per month and says it believes a key hiring decision will help boost that total some more. With the hiring of Don McHugh, formerly of CFF Recycling, the company says it could start nearing a nonferrous intake of 1,500 tons per month.
Midwest Scrap Management’s officers express confidence in the new baler. "We purchased Harris because of our knowledge and familiarity with the equipment and the great Harris parts and service," says Jim Summers, Midwest Scrap’s operations manager.
Midwest Scrap Management already owns two Harris auto shredders.
Kendrick Burgess, Midwest Scrap’s president, adds, "Harris’ quality is matched by no other."
Midwest Scrap Management is negotiating to buy more land southwest of Kansas City to keep expanding. As part of its expansion, it is considering purchasing a second Harris HS125125 shredder. "With the Harris HS125125 shredder in our Kansas City facility, purchased in 2005, and now the newly purchased Harris HRB Centurion baler, Midwest Scrap continues to grow even in the troubled economy of today’s market," Summers says.
Harris bills the HRB Centurion as a fast two-ram baler with a strong charge box and efficient hydraulic system designed to boost productivity and minimize maintenance costs.
