EDDY CURRENT SEPARATOR

What is an Eddy Current Separator?

An eddy current separator is a device that uses a powerful magnetic field to separate non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and copper, from other materials. This technology is widely used in recycling facilities to improve the recovery rates of valuable metals and enhance the quality of recycled materials.

Eddy Current Separator rotor spins at high speeds, an electric current is induced into conducting metals. The induced electric current produces a magnetic field, which opposes the field created by the rotor, repelling the conducting metals over a pre-positioned splitter plate. The remaining materials such as plastics, glass and other dry recyclables will simply free-fall over the rotor, sepa-rating them from the repelled metals.

Key Features

Eddy current separators are known for their precision and efficiency. Key features include:

• High-Frequency Magnetic Fields: Generate eddy currents in non-ferrous metals, causing them to be repelled from the conveyor belt and separated from other materials.
• Adjustable Settings: Allow operators to fine-tune the separation process to handle different materials and particle sizes.
• Robust Construction: Designed to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments.
• Low Maintenance: Built with durable components to minimize maintenance requirements and operational downtime.
• Energy Efficiency: Optimized for low energy consumption while maintaining high separation efficiency.

Applications of Eddy Current Separators

Eddy current separators are versatile and used in various industries to improve material separation efficiency. Common applications include:

• Recycling: Recovering non-ferrous metals from municipal solid waste, electronic scrap, and automotive shredder residue.
• Mining: Extracting valuable metals from ore and mineral processing operations.
• Manufacturing: Ensuring product purity by removing metal contaminants from raw materials and finished products.
• Construction: Separating non-ferrous metals from construction and demolition waste for recycling and reuse.
• Environmental Cleanup: Removing metal contaminants from soil and water in environmental remediation projects.

Benefits of Using Eddy Current Separators

Implementing eddy current separators in material separation processes offers numerous benefits:

• Increased Efficiency: Enhances the speed and accuracy of non-ferrous metal separation, reducing the need for manual sorting.
• Improved Material Recovery: Increases the recovery rate of valuable metals, supporting recycling efforts and reducing waste.
• Cost Savings: Reduces labor costs and operational expenses through automated and efficient sorting.
• Enhanced Product Quality: Produces cleaner, higher-quality separated materials, improving the value of recycled products.
• Environmental Impact: Supports sustainable waste management practices by increasing recycling rates and reducing landfill usage.
