Product introduction

Eddy current separator can achieve efficient separation of non-ferrous metals and non-metals (such as plastics, glass, masonry, etc.) or different types of non-ferrous metals, improve resource recycling rate, and reduce environmental pollution. It is one of the key equipment in the circular economy and solid waste treatment industry chain.

Double-shredder machine

Eddy current separator is a professional separation equipment that uses electromagnetic induction principle (eddy current effect) to efficiently separate and recover conductive non-ferrous metals (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) from non-magnetic mixed solid waste. The eddy current separator generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field through a high-speed rotating permanent magnetic roller. When the conductive metal particles pass through the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced inside. The eddy current then generates a magnetic field in the opposite direction of the original magnetic field, forming a repulsive force (Lorentz force), thereby ejecting and separating the non-ferrous metal particles from the material flow.

Applications: Non-ferrous metal recycling

  • Metal sorting machine for materials:
  • Sorting metal aluminum from PET flakes;
  • Collecting non-ferrous metals from the scrap material of the scrapping plant;
  • Separating and collecting aluminum and copper from aluminum-copper foundry sand and smelting ash;
  • Remove the aluminum cap from the glass bottle and sort the aluminum wire and aluminum alloy parts;
  • Collecting aluminum and copper from the mass;
  • Collecting non-ferrous metals from the incinerated printing plates
  • Sorting and collecting aluminum alloy cans from municipal waste;
  • Separating plastic and metal aluminum from broken aluminum alloy and aluminum-plastic doors and windows;
  • Separating metal and rubber from automotive seals;
  • Sort out non-ferrous metals from large pieces of crushed materials such as used cars, used appliances, and game consoles.

Key Components of a Metal Shredding and Sorting Line

Pre-Shredder (Optional)

Breaks down large scrap metal (e.g., cars, appliances) into smaller pieces before the main shredding process.

Metal Crusher

Uses high-torque rotors with hammers to shred metal into small fragments (typically 50–150 mm).

Common types: Hammer mills, shear shredders, or rotary shredders.

Conveyor System

Transports shredded material between processing stages.

Magnetic Separator (Ferrous Metal Separation)

Uses powerful magnets to extract ferrous metals (iron, steel) from the shredded mix.

Eddy Current Separator (Non-Ferrous Metal Separation)

Uses magnetic fields to repel and separate non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass).
