About AFOR Systems |
| |
|
AFOR Systems, Inc. was founded by Bill
Wilson and Joe Tulkoff in 1996 to bring to market the
MARS™
- a state-of-the-art, automatic metal removal system for the bulk
materials industries.
A few years ago, It was recognized that
the traditional use of magnets and metal
detectors to remove tramp metal from bulk materials was not
particularly effective nor efficient.
Because magnets attract only ferrous (that
is, iron or steel) metal, they do not offer total protection against
all tramp metal. And, while metal detectors can identify all tramp
metal (ferrous and non-ferrous), they can't remove it - they can only
stop the belt for the metal to be removed manually. This shuts down
production and leaves expensive processing equipment vulnerable to
human error. |

Although
MARS™
installations are currently concentrated in the aggregate industry,
the MARS™
is effective in many industries, including crushed stone, sand and
gravel, mining, coal, slag, power plant, pulp and paper, chemicals,
food products - essentially any industry handling bulk materials,
looking for the total solution for tramp metal removal. |
