Eddy Current Separator (Non-Ferrous Metal Separator)

Non-Ferrous Metal Separator (Eddy Current Separator) – Concentric & Eccentric Types

Operating Principle

The non-ferrous metal separator (eddy current separator) is available in both concentric and eccentric configurations. Its structure consists of an outer drum, an internal magnetic rotor, a magnetic rotor drive motor, an outer drum drive motor, and a seamless环形一体皮带 (integrated endless belt). When the equipment is started, the internal magnetic rotor rotates at high speed. Conductors (non-ferrous metals) within the material generate induced currents in the high-frequency alternating magnetic field. The magnetic field produced by these induced currents opposes the original magnetic field, generating a strong repulsive force that instantly ejects the non-ferrous metals from the material stream, achieving separation.

As a key product of Yekai Magnetics in the field of resource recovery, the YKFX series is typically used in conjunction with other separation equipment to achieve high-purity, high-quality recycled products.

Applications

The eddy current separator is suitable for:

• Separating copper and aluminum from industrial waste and construction and demolition waste

• Processing municipal solid waste and contaminants

• Material processing in non-ferrous metal production

• Recovering copper, aluminum, and zinc from shredded scrap vehicles

• Recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment

• Removing aluminum rings and bottleneck rings from crushed glass

• Other industries related to copper and aluminum recycling
