For over 30 years, Kiverco has been globally recognised for delivering some of the most durable and high-performing recycling plants. Built for demanding environments, including those found across the Middle East, Kiverco’s modular systems are designed to provide more uptime, higher sustained purity, and longer useful life. Among the key technologies integrated into Kiverco plants is magnetic separation, fundamental to optimising material recovery, increasing asset value, and aligning with environmental and regulatory standards.

Optimised Ferrous Separation by Design
Kiverco strategically incorporates magnetic systems across both mobile and static plant configurations, ensuring the efficient removal of ferrous metals from waste streams. In mobile applications, magnets are embedded into picking stations, enabling fast recovery of valuable metals such as steel. Static systems, such as those used in long-term infrastructure or industrial applications, integrate inline and overband magnets, maximising recovery and purity levels.

Why Ferrous Metal Recovery Matters – Economic, Environmental & Legal Drivers

Economic Value from Waste
Ferrous metals recovered through magnetic separation are converted from residual waste into revenue-generating commodities. With markets increasingly favouring locally sourced, recycled materials, recovered metals command competitive prices. Kiverco plants ensure these materials are captured before landfill, supporting both economic return and landfill diversion.

Environmental and Energy Efficiency
Recycling metals consumes significantly less energy than extracting them from raw ore. This energy saving translates into lower greenhouse gas emissions, a priority across the Middle East as countries adopt sustainability frameworks aligned with Vision 2030, ESG strategies, and global environmental goals. Kiverco’s technology enables clean separation, reducing environmental impact.

Supporting Regulatory Compliance and Diversion Targets
Across the GCC and wider MENA region, national waste strategies promote landfill diversion and circular economy objectives. Kiverco plants help clients meet environmental regulations, achieve higher recovery rates, and satisfy KPIs related to waste reduction, recycling, and environmental reporting.

Engineering Excellence for Regional Demands
Kiverco plants are purpose-built for durability and ease of deployment. In many parts of the Middle East, where harsh climates or remote locations are common, the company’s mobile solutions offer rapid setup and reliable performance, ideal for both temporary and permanent applications. The KS Series static plants, while compact, maintain heavy-duty performance standards and include magnetic separation as a core feature. These systems ensure ferrous materials are efficiently captured before they are disposed of.

Eddy Current Separator
Kiverco uses Eddy Current Separators for non-ferrous metals like aluminium and copper. As materials pass through, magnetic fields generate eddy currents in the metals, repelling them into separate bins. The remaining non-metallic materials continue along the conveyor for collection. This efficient process maximises overall resource recovery.

Optical Sorters
To further enhance recovery of mixed metals, Kiverco integrates inductive sensors with optical sorters. These sensors accurately detect and separate metals from mixed materials, improving the efficiency and purity of the sorting process.

Delivering Trusted Metal Recovery Solutions Across Borders
With over 400 installations worldwide, Kiverco is trusted by governments, waste management operators, and private contractors for robust, compliant, and efficient waste sorting systems. Magnetic separation is a critical component of Kiverco’s integrated design, delivering consistent metal recovery and cleaner output.

Conclusion: Metal Recovery as a Strategic Advantage
Magnets are not just a feature of Kiverco plants,they are essential to their function and value proposition. By recovering ferrous metals at source, Kiverco equipment delivers:

• Financial benefit through resale or reuse of metals
• Environmental savings via reduced energy use and emissions
• Regulatory alignment with diversion and recycling mandates
• Operational confidence through field-proven engineering

In a region prioritising sustainability, efficiency, and economic diversification, Kiverco’s magnetic separation systems offer a proven way to turn waste into opportunity - responsibly and profitably.
