Product Description
Eddy current separator is mainly used for recycling copper, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals from industrial waste and living garbage waste, can be widely used in garbage disposal, recycling of waste electrical appliance, other environmental industry and Non-ferrous metal materials processing industry. For a variety of non-ferrous metals,with high separation effect and reliable mechanical structure.
Eddy current separator is 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 ratio of material conductivity and density values, the higher ratio value is more likely to separate.
The Eddy current separator of non-ferrous metal is consist of the separator main body and control cabinet; Main body is mainly composed of separation assembly, drive motor, frame and the cover body parts. Sorting assembly is the core components, equipped by permanent magnet drum, material conveying system (including material conveyor belt, conveyor belt drive drum motor and reducer).
Returned Value
As a critical technology for solid waste valorization, eddy current separators drive the development of “zero-waste cities” and the circular economy, spanning metal scrap, plastics, glass, and other sectors. Future advancements will integrate upgraded magnetic materials with intelligent control systems, further enhancing sorting precision and processing efficiency. Their application potential in emerging fields such as new energy battery recycling and rare precious metal extraction will continue to expand.
