Introduction:
Eddy current separator is a machine that uses a rotating magnetic field to separate non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials. It is commonly used in the recycling industry to separate aluminum, copper, and other non-ferrous metals from mixed waste streams.
Work Principle:
Eddy current separator works based on Faraday‘s law of electromagnetic induction, which states that a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a nearby conductor. The rotating drum in the Eddy current separator creates a changing magnetic field, which induces eddy currents in the non-ferrous metals. The eddy currents, in turn, generate their own magnetic fields that oppose the rotating field, causing the non-ferrous metals to be repelled and ejected from the conveyor belt.
Structure:
Eddy current separator comprises a conveyor belt, a high-speed rotating magnetic rotor, and a non-conductive belt, with a discharge chute for non-ferrous metal, and a separate chute for other waste material. The non-ferrous metal objects are separated by the eddy current generated by the magnetic rotor.
Installation:
Eddy current separator can be installed in various waste management plants, including construction waste recycling plants, municipal solid waste processing plants, and metal scrap recycling facilities.
Industry Applications:
Eddy current separator is widely used in various industries, including waste management, construction, and metal scrap recycling. It can separate non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and brass from other waste materials. Eddy current separator is ideal for recycling plants that process large quantities of mixed waste material containing non-ferrous metals.
The benefits of using Eddy current separator include:
Efficient Separation: Eddy current separator can quickly and efficiently separate non-ferrous metals from waste materials, increasing the recovery rate of valuable metals.
Reduced Environmental Impact: By separating non-ferrous metals, Eddy current separator reduces the amount of waste that is sent to landfills, reducing the environmental impact.
Cost-Effective: Using Eddy current separator can be cost-effective as it helps in recovering valuable metals from waste materials, which can be sold for reuse.
Improved Product Quality: Eddy current separator ensures high-quality recycled metal as the separation process is precise and accurate.
