Eriez will showcase integrated tramp metal control and feeding systems at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, demonstrating how aggregates producers can protect critical assets, reduce unplanned downtime and maintain reliable, high-volume production. The company will be exhibiting in Central Hall, Booth C23011, from 3–7 March in Las Vegas.

As producers push for higher tonnages while controlling costs in a tightening economic climate, equipment damage and unscheduled stoppages are under greater scrutiny. Drawing on more than 80 years of experience, Eriez highlights tramp metal as a significant productivity and safety risk. Its aggregates portfolio includes vibratory feeders, magnetic separators and metal detectors, designed to provide layered control across the process flow — from primary feed through to final screening.

Within its magnetic separation range, Eriez offers suspended electromagnets, suspended permanent magnets, magnetic head pulleys and magnetic drum separators. These systems continuously remove damaging ferrous tramp metal from high-burden belts before it reaches crushers, mills and grinders, helping to minimise belt damage, avoid unplanned downtime and reduce costly emergency repairs.

For material handling, Eriez supplies heavy-duty electromagnetic and mechanical feeders engineered for high-capacity, high head-load applications. The B-HC High Capacity electromagnetic feeder range is designed for demanding installations beneath hoppers, providing controlled metering of bulk materials to conveyors, screens and crushers to support steady, predictable throughput.

To detect metal contaminants, Eriez manufactures a complete range of metal detectors for bulk materials. The MetAlarm® line includes units designed for installation over or under conveyor belts in rugged aggregates environments, providing high-sensitivity detection of both ferrous and non-ferrous tramp metal.

“Every unplanned stop has a ripple effect across the plant — lost throughput, missed delivery windows and, in some cases, genuine safety concerns,” said Chris Ramsdell, Heavy Industry Business Development Manager at Eriez. “Producers tell us they want fewer surprises and greater control. Our role is to help them build stability into their processes with integrated systems that operate reliably every hour of every shift, allowing teams to focus on production rather than recovery.”

Visitors to CONEXPO-CON/AGG can meet the Eriez aggregates team at Booth C23011 to discuss current projects and site challenges.
