Metal Control Solutions for the Recycling Industry
Recycling operations handle a wide variety of materials, including metal, plastic, paper, glass, electronics, rubber, and more, often mixed and highly contaminated. MPI's separation systems are used to sort, clean, and recover ferrous and non-ferrous metals from these streams to:
Increase material purity and resale value
Reduce landfill waste
Comply with environmental and recycling mandates
Protect downstream shredders, grinders, and granulators from metal damage
MPI equipment is commonly integrated into MSW (municipal solid waste), MRFs (materials recovery facilities), e-scrap, C&D (construction and demolition), tire recycling, and plastics recycling lines.
MPI helps recyclers:
Maximize metal recovery and profit margins.
Protect valuable processing equipment.
Streamline material sorting for higher throughput.
Ensure cleaner, safer, and more sustainable operations
From municipal waste to industrial scrap to precision plastic pellet cleaning, MPI’s magnetic and metal detection solutions bring reliability, efficiency, and purity to every stage of the recycling process.
INDUSTRY GUIDE – Recover More Metal from Mixed Material Recycling Streams
Recoverable metal doesn’t always get captured - it’s often lost in mixed material streams, reducing revenue and contaminating downstream processes. Learn how to improve recovery rates and maximize material value.

Maximizes Metal Recovery Rates
MPI separators efficiently remove ferrous and non-ferrous metals, increasing the quality and resale value of recyclables.
Protects Shredders, Crushers, and Granulators
Tramp iron removal reduces blade and equipment wear, lowering maintenance costs and extending machinery life.
Supports Regulatory and Environmental Compliance
Separating metals from waste supports sustainability targets and ensures compliance with EPA, state, and municipal recycling requirements.
Reduces Landfill and Contamination Penalties
Cleaner waste streams help processors avoid fines from haulers, end users, and regulatory agencies.
Handles High-Volume, Harsh Conditions
MPI’s rugged designs are built for abrasive, heavy-duty operations. They feature reinforced housings, large magnet arrays, and wear liners.
Automates Sorting to Improve Throughput
MPI supports automated lines with minimal human oversight by integrating self-cleaning or continuous magnetic systems.
Customizable for Mixed or Specialized Material Streams
Whether you handle e-waste, plastic flakes, scrap metal, or glass, MPI offers tailored configurations to meet your process needs.
Increases Sorting Efficiency with Compact Footprints
Compact, modular designs make integrating MPI equipment into existing conveyors or drop points easy without requiring a complete line redesign.
