Eddy Current Separator

Eddy Current Separator efficiently separates non-ferrous metals from municipal waste, plastics, electronics, and industrial materials.

Eddy Current Separator uses a powerful magnetic rotor to separate non-ferrous metals from mixed waste streams. It is widely used for recovering aluminum, copper, brass, and other valuable metals from municipal solid waste, electronic waste, plastic recycling, and scrap processing lines. With continuous operation and efficient separation, the equipment improves material purity, recovery rates, and overall recycling efficiency.

Eddy Current Separator is an advanced sorting machine designed to separate non-ferrous metals from mixed material streams. It is widely used in municipal solid waste, plastic recycling, electronic waste, scrap metal, and industrial waste processing. By using an eddy current magnetic system, the machine can efficiently recover valuable aluminum, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals.

The main structure includes a feeding conveyor, vibrating feeder, material conveying system, magnetic drum system, protective cover, discharge separation device, frame, and control cabinet. The conveyor provides a stable material flow, while the high-speed magnetic rotor generates an alternating magnetic field. The equipment can be integrated into different recycling lines according to material characteristics and processing capacity.

Mixed materials are evenly delivered to the Eddy Current Separator through the feeding system. When materials pass over the rotating magnetic drum, non-ferrous metals are affected by the eddy current generated by the magnetic field and are propelled away from the normal falling trajectory. Non-metallic materials continue to fall naturally, allowing the two material streams to be separated efficiently.

The Eddy Current Separator is suitable for recovering aluminum cans, copper fragments, brass pieces, and other non-ferrous metals from waste streams. It can improve the purity and recovery of recyclable materials while reducing manual sorting requirements. Combined with shredders, magnetic separators, vibrating screens, and conveyors, it can form an efficient automated recycling system for different waste-processing applications.

Structure

The main body primarily consists of an assembly, a drive motor, a frame, a cover, and other components. The sorting section is the core part of the equipment and is composed of a rotating drum and a material conveying system, which includes the material conveyor belt, the belt drive drum, and the speed reduction motor

Process Description

It’s based on the principle of conductor in the high frequency alternating magnetic field can generate induced current, it’ll produce high frequency alternating intense magnetic field in the surface of magnetic roller while working, When the non-ferrous metal with electrical conductivity through the magnetic field,and will induced eddy current in the non-ferrous metal The eddy current itself will generate the magnetic field opposite with the original direction, the Non-ferrous metal (such as aluminum copper, etc.) will leap with the conveying direction, due to the repulsion of the magnetic field, to achieve the purpose of separation, separate the metal and non-metal materials. The main criterion to distinguish is the ratic of material conductivity and density values, the higher ratio value is more likely to separate
