    Hi Josue,
    I am not sure of a brand but I would suggest that you ask for a 30 day trial. Then, take about 10 lbs of material and on purpose mix ferrous and non ferrous materials to it. Also, weigh the metals before you mix them. Then use the separator, separate out the metals and weigh the metals again. If you get the same amounts, then the brand is good.
    I suggest you do this at least 5 -6 times with 2 or 3 brands.
    Regards,
    Suhas

    Best in the world, S+S but NOT cheap!! But you get what you pay for. Try one and you won't use anything else.

    There are two types also analog and digital, digital being the better and more expensive. Also you need to make sure it's rated for the material thru put.

    Like Suhas said, get a trial unit for a period of time to try it out, I would try and get a few units from different companies and try them at the same time.
