About Eric Schomberg
Eric Schomberg – Zerkleinerungs- und Separiertechnik is an independent mechanical engineering company based in Wörrstadt that has been active in shredding and separation technology since 1990. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of special equipment and sells its products, all developed and produced in-house, to markets worldwide. Its product range includes rotor shears, knife mills, separation tables, material transport fans, material hoppers with hydraulically driven discharge screws, and overband magnets with ferrite permanent magnets. The housings, spirals and impellers of the machines are made from thick-walled steel sheet. A key focus is the recycling of copper and aluminium cables, radiator scrap, electronic scrap, plastics and tire rubber; the separation tables achieve nearly pure metal granulate and textile-free rubber crumb in the process. Rotor shears, knife mills and separation technology are permanently available for customer trials.

Materials and Processes
Steel sheet
Housings of the material transport fans made from 6–15 mm, spirals from 8 mm, and impellers and blades from 5 mm thick steel sheet.
Copper
Separation of solid and stranded cables as well as copper granulate into nearly pure metal granulate.
Aluminium
Separation of AL cables and CU/AL radiator scrap.
Plastic
Separation of various plastics free of contamination for recycling processes.
Ferrite permanent magnet
Built-in ferrite permanent magnet (550 x 370 mm) in the overband magnet type ES 100/40.
Tire rubber
Shredding and separation into nearly textile- and fabric-free rubber crumb.
