Advantages

  • Separates non-ferrous materials. 
  • Features long-life, high-strength permanent magnet technology.
  • Ensures separation of aluminum waste.
  • Increases material processing capacity and profitability and reduces labor costs in plants.
  • Ensures the most accurate and effective material separation.

Description

The EDDY CURRENT magnetic separator facilitates the separation of non-ferrous metals, non-magnetic materials (glass, stone, plastic, wood, etc.), and ferrous pieces—i.e., three different material streams—into separate bins. It is a separator that helps recover materials such as aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), brass, etc., which are considered industrial waste, thereby minimizing the environmental harm they cause.

This separator is widely used in the recycling industry for scrap, end-of-life vehicles, and electronic equipment.

Operation

The EDDY CURRENT separator operates on the theory of induced current when a conductor is placed within a high-frequency, alternating magnetic field. The EDDY CURRENT separator has two types of rotors: one is a high-strength rotor used for precise or specialized separation tasks, and the other is a standard rotor for separating less complex materials. While the magnetic rotor is running, it generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field on its surface. When the material to be separated enters this high-frequency alternating magnetic field, an eddy current is generated inside the metal. The repulsive force allows the non-ferrous (diamagnetic) material to be recovered by pushing it out of the high-frequency alternating magnetic field.
