Description

The Eddy Current Separator is an advanced metal sorting unit that is capable of separating non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper from dry recyclables.

Eddy current separation is based on the use of a magnetic rotor with alternating polarity, spinning rapidly inside a non-metallic drum driving by a conveyor belt. Material is fed on to the conveyor belt of the eddy current separator, which moves it across the magnetic rotor where separation occurs. As nonferrous metals pass over the drum, the alternating magnetic field creates eddy current in the non-ferrous metal particles repelling the material away form the the conveyor. While other materials drop off at the end of conveyor, the non-ferrous metals are propelled forward over a splitter for separation.

Applications

Eddy current separation equipment can be used to remove non-ferrous metals from municipal solid waste, auto shredding residue operations, glass cullet, electric scrap, UBC reclamation, etc.

Separation of non-ferrous metals in auto shredder residue;

Separation of non-ferrous metals from solid waste incinerator ash;

Sorting of aluminum beverage cans from on-magnetic recyclables;

Removal of non-ferrous contamination from crushed glass cullet;

Separation of non-ferrous dross from foundry sand;

Non-ferrous metal removal in WEEE recycling plants;

Removal of aluminum components in UPVC window recycling;

Separation of non-ferrous metals form plastics;

Separation of non-ferrous metals form electronic scrap;

Separation of non-ferrous metals from car recycling applications.
