The installation of three high-performance ECS lines marks a major milestone in Scrap King’s commitment to operational excellence and environmental stewardship.
Operating seven days a week and serving the entire state, Scrap King is renowned for processing oversized, overweight, and irregular scrap that others won’t touch. Their unique grind-only setup, without a shredder, demands equipment that can handle unpredictable material flows, support continuous high-throughput, and perform reliably in Florida’s challenging climate.
To meet these demands, Magnapower supplied:
- ECS 1200 Eddy Current Separator
- ECS 1500 Eddy Current Separator
- ECS 1500 Superfines Eddy Current Separator
Each unit equipped with a vibratory feeder and drum magnet, ensuring controlled material flow and effective ferrous separation across all size fractions. The ECS 1500 Superfines model, designed to process particles as small as 1–2mm, features a protective cover to prevent moisture ingress from tropical rainfall and maintain consistent performance.
“From day one, Magnapower impressed us with their responsiveness and technical insight,” said Alex Gregory, Owner of Scrap King. “The installation went smoothly, and their support throughout has been first-class. We’re already looking forward to future projects.”
Since the installation of the Magnapower Eddy Current Separators, Scrap King has experienced a marked improvement in operational performance. Throughput has increased significantly, with a more streamlined process flow enhancing efficiency. Recovery rates have risen across all size fractions, enabling Scrap King to maximise the value of every load processed. The upgraded system has also improved export readiness, ensuring that materials meet the stringent requirements of global steel mill consumers. Importantly, the equipment has delivered consistent, reliable performance throughout Florida’s challenging weather conditions, including frequent tropical rainfall.
This successful installation has further reinforced Scrap King’s reputation as a forward-thinking, sustainability-driven recycler. By investing in advanced technology and embracing innovation, the company continues to lead the way in processing materials others won’t touch, meeting the evolving demands of the global metals market with resilience and precision.
