Positioned downstream of ferrous separation equipment Eriez’ new RCS Rougher, Cleaner, Scavenger nonferrous processing system employs three Eddy Current Separators in a specific sequence to produce a high-grade zorba while maximizing recovery. This type of RCS system has been used successfully in high-value mineral processing and mining operations for decades. In an ASR environment, the ECS set up is as follows:
“Rougher”: The Rougher is set to “aggressively” maximize recovery of nonferrous metals.
"Scavenger": Recovers any zorba misplaced by the Rougher.
"Cleaner": removes unwanted materials from the final zorba product.
Material Recirculation combines the rejected cleaner product and the recovered scavenger product to be reprocessed ultimately leading to greater recovery.
