The eddy current separator is widely used in several industrial sectors:

  • Recycling : Precise separation of non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass) from waste streams, increasing the purity of recycled materials.
  • Automotive industry: Efficiently recovers precious metals from used catalysts, maximizing the value of treated parts.
  • Mining: Purifies ores by isolating non-ferrous metal particles, optimizing extraction processes.

Operating principles

The eddy current separator operates on the following electromagnetic principle:

  • A high-speed magnetic rotor, made up of alternating permanent magnets, rotates inside a non-magnetic drum.
  • This rapid rotation creates a powerful alternating magnetic field.
  • When non-ferrous metal particles pass through this field, eddy currents are induced within them.
  • These currents in turn generate a magnetic field opposite to that of the rotor.
  • This interaction pushes the non-ferrous particles out of the material flow.
  • Non-conductive materials remain unaffected and follow their normal trajectory.

Directions for use

To optimize the efficiency of an eddy current separator, here are a few recommendations:

  • Adjustment: Adjust the rotor speed to suit the type and size of metals to be separated.
  • Particle size: Ensure that incoming materials are correctly sorted by size for optimum separation.
  • Regular maintenance: Check and service the magnetic rotor and drive system regularly to maintain performance. Cleaning is essential.
  • Flow control: Adjust the material flow to ensure a uniform layer on the infeed conveyor.

General features

Eddy current separators have several distinctive features:

  • High efficiency: Capable of efficiently separating even small non-ferrous metals.
  • Versatility: Can handle a wide range of materials and particle sizes.
  • Productivity: Enable continuous, high-speed processing.
  • Adjustability: Rotational speed and separation flap position can be adjusted to optimize separation.
  • Low energy consumption: Despite the use of an electric motor, overall consumption remains relatively low. Energy from the rotor is fed back into the electrical grid.
  • Durability: Designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions.
  • Automation capability: Can be integrated into automated processing lines.
  • Environmentally-friendly: Facilitate metal recycling, helping to preserve natural resources.
