Founded in 1942 by O.F. Merwin, Eriez began with a simple yet groundbreaking solution: the world’s first permanent magnetic separator to protect grain mills from ferrous contamination. That innovation quickly set the stage for a company built on solving real processing problems with engineering expertise. Over eight decades later, Eriez has grown into a global leader in separation technologies, with a presence on six continents and a reputation for reliability, performance, and innovation.
Flagship Technology
While Eriez is known for a broad range of equipment, its magnetic separators remain the flagship product line. From simple plate magnets to advanced suspended and drum separators, these systems are trusted worldwide to remove tramp metal, protect downstream machinery, and ensure product purity. Building on this legacy, Eriez also leads in flotation systems, metal detectors, material handling equipment, and fluid recycling technologies.
