P-Rex’s powerful permanent magnetic circuit designed using sophisticated modeling techniques is up to 40% stronger than an electro and is capable of moving large spherical objects at twice the distance! Current electromagnetic drum technology simply is not capable of sustaining a deep enough magnet field to attract much of the “heavy spherical” ferrous during scrap metal processing. These heavy spheres, referred to as meatballs or knuckles, often contain valuable nonferrous metals and represent the most difficult type of object to capture magnetically. While P-Rex maintains a constant strength profile, all electros are subject to significant strength loss due to heat gain… typically around 30% within three hours of start up!
P-Rex® Benefits:- 40% Stronger during operation
- Significantly wider pick-up zone
- Edge-to-Edge performance
- No heat induced strength loss
- Agitates and flips ferrous
- Optional retractable jaw

A Magnet’s Toughest Challenge
Spheres are the most difficult objects to capture magnetically. Add to that, in scrap processing, many of
these objects contain nonferrous wire such as copper, making magnetic attraction even more difficult. P-Rex is up to the challenge… able to reach into the shredded material and remove even these difficult meatballs.
Watch the VIDEO and see the "BEAST" in action!
P-Rex®, the strongest drum magnet on the market, has a new brother eP-Rex™.
eP-Rex
Eriez' new epRex, Electro/Permanent Scrap Drum Magnet, provides deep reach, a wide pick up zone and constant strength profile over time...suffering no heat loss. Typical "electros" lose 30% of their strength within hours of start up. eP-Rex is an economical workhorse extracting ferrous metals from the beginning to the end of its shift.
Benefits:
- Electro/Permanent magnetic circuit
- Constant Strength profile over time
- Deep reach magnetic field
- Economically priced
Traction Plate™ Drum Wrap
Eriez' new Traction Plate™ Drum Wrap significanly improves cleaning action by gripping ferrous, allowing
it to agitate on the face of the drum and releasing fluff and dirt. The Traction Plate keeps the ferrous from sliding down and "clumping" on the cleat, which entrains more dirt and fluff.
Benefits:- Innovative deep recessed pattern
- Made of durable magalloy
- Shorter cleat height
