Wagner Magnete specializes in high-end magnetic rotor manufacturing

Wagner Magnete, a mechanical engineering manufacturer based in Heimertingen, Germany, specializes in high-end manufacturing for recycling technology. The company focuses on the production of magnetic rotors used in eddy current separators, which are essential for recovering non-magnetic metals like aluminum and copper from waste streams.

According to Managing Director Wolfgang Wagner, the recycling technology market is facing significant price pressure. Some manufacturers attempt to reduce costs by simplifying the design or manufacturing of magnetic rotors. However, these inaccuracies lead to vibrations at high rotational speeds, which can systematically damage the bearings of the rotors and increase operational costs for waste management companies through frequent repairs and machine failures.
