Eriez highlights tramp metal control, feeding solutions at ConExpo-Con/Agg

Eriez says it will present integrated tramp metal control and feeding systems at ConExpo-Con/Agg 2026 at Booth C23011 in the Central Hall, March 3-7 in Las Vegas. The company will demonstrate how aggregates producers can safeguard critical assets, reduce unplanned downtime and maintain high-volume production.

As producers pursue higher tonnage while managing costs in a tightening economic climate, the company says equipment damage and unscheduled stoppages are under increasing scrutiny. Eriez’s portfolio addresses tramp metal as a productivity and safety risk, with products that include vibratory feeders, magnetic separators and metal detectors designed to deliver layered control across the process flow from primary feed to final screening. 

Within its magnetic separation line, Eriez offers suspended electromagnets, suspended permanent magnets, magnetic head pulleys and magnetic drum separators designed to continuously remove damaging ferrous tramp metal from high-burden belts before it reaches crushers, mills and grinders.

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

To detect metal contaminants, the MetAlarm metal detector line offers units designed for installation over or under conveyor belts in rugged aggregate environments, providing high-sensitivity detection of ferrous and nonferrous tramp metal.  

“Every unplanned stop has a ripple effect across the plant—lost throughput over time, missed delivery windows and, in some cases, genuine safety concerns,” says Chris Ramsdell, heavy industry business development manager at Eriez, which is headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania. “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.”
