Non-ferrous metal separator ECS145019
Non-ferrous metal separators (eddy current separators) are used to separate non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass, etc.) from bulk materials of all kinds.
The general operation principle of eddy current separators is that electrically conductive particles (aluminum, copper, etc.) are separated from non-conductors. A time-varying magnetic field induces eddy currents in conductive particles, which results in a repulsive force effect.
Due to the particularly strong impulse permanent magnetic field and the high speed of the magnetic rotor, the best separation results are achieved even with small grain sizes and fractions that are difficult to separate.
The material to be separated is transported in the thinnest possible layer on the conveyor belt. It then reaches the area of the rapidly rotating magnetic fields on the discharge drum on the discharge side. Eddy currents are induced in the non-ferrous metal parts, which in turn build up a magnetic field around each individual particle made of non-ferrous metal, which counteracts the permanent magnetic field of the magnetic rotor. As a result, a strong impulse is exerted on the parts made of non-ferrous metal, which throws these particles out of the material flow.
