Shuliy eddy current separator(copper-aluminum separator or non-ferrous metal eddy current separator) efficiently separates non-magnetic metals (such as aluminum and copper) from non-metallic materials within waste streams. Utilizing the physical properties of metals, it can sort them into 4 kinds: aluminum, copper+iron, plastic and impurities.

This copper-aluminum separator has a capacity of 4-15 tons per hour and is suitable for scrap with particle sizes of 2mm or larger. It’s widely used in industries such as scrap metal recycling, electronic waste processing, and municipal solid waste recycling. If you’re interested, welcome to contact us at any time for more!

How does an eddy current separator(ECS) work?

Our eddy current aluminum separator utilizes the principle of eddy currents induced in metals within a magnetic field to sort materials. Its magnetic roller can sort larger or smaller materials by controlling forward and reverse rotation.

1. Feeding materials
   • Mixed waste materials (such as aluminum, copper, plastic, wood chips, etc.) enter the eddy current separation zone via a belt conveyor.
2. High-speed rotating magnetic roller
   • High-speed permanent magnet rollers at the rear of the equipment begin operation, generating a strong and rapidly fluctuating alternating magnetic field. It’s the core principle of eddy current separation.
3. Inducing eddy currents in the magnetic field
   • When non-magnetic metals (e.g., aluminum, copper) enter the magnetic field zone, eddy currents are generated within the metal.
   • These eddy currents produce a magnetic force opposing the magnetic field direction. This repulsive force causes the metal to instantly bounce or jump off its original trajectory.
4. Automatic separation of metals and mon-metals
   • Metals affected by the repulsive force are ejected into the metal collection areas of the equipment.
   • Non-conductive materials (such as plastic, paper, wood chips) do not generate eddy currents and continue falling along their normal path.
5. Sorting into different outlets
   • The sorted metals and non-metals fall into separate collection ports, achieving precise and efficient separation, significantly enhancing metal purity.

Advantages of eddy current separator machine

• Featuring an intelligent touch-control cabinet with variable frequency control for smoother operation, it runs more reliably and extends equipment lifespan.
• You can operate it simply, just one-touch start, very simple.
• This machine can process 4-15 tons per hour, which is highly efficient.
• It precisely sorts waste materials with particle sizes above 2mm, widely applied in separating metals, electronic waste, plastics, and other materials.
• Adopting high-quality neodymium iron boron permanent magnet rollers and imported bearings, the machine is capable of long-term, high-efficiency operation.
• The magnetic roller employs an effective magnetic system protection mechanism to prevent the magnetic system from detaching during high-speed operation.
