About Seller: Eriez Magnetics is a leading global authority in advanced technology for magnetic, vibratory, and metal detection applications. The company specializes in designing, developing, manufacturing, and marketing magnetic separation, metal detection, and materials feeding, screening, conveying, and controlling equipment for the process and metalworking industries.
Founded in 1941 by Orange Fowler Merwin, also known as "O.F.", the company began by selling equipment to grain millers. Merwin identified a common issue among his customers - "tramp iron" or stray pieces of metal contaminating the grain. He introduced a new magnetic alloy called "alnico" with exceptional magnetic qualities, leading to the development of a permanent magnetic separator in 1942.
Today, Eriez Magnetics has expanded globally with manufacturing facilities in multiple countries and sales offices in the United States and 80 international markets. The company is committed to providing consistent product quality and fast response times to customers worldwide. Eriez sales engineers and service teams uphold a customer-oriented philosophy, actively participating in professional and industrial trade associations to stay updated on the latest technology and ideas for application problem-solving.
Eriez's technical center in Erie, Pennsylvania houses the industry's largest magnetic, vibratory, and metal detection test laboratory with over 100 pieces of specialized test equipment. Here, customer products and raw materials are analyzed confidentially, and efficient and cost-effective solutions for separation, screening, and detection are suggested through feasibility and definitive studies.
