Sorting Principles and Advantages of Eddy Current Separators

Eddy current separators utilize the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating a high-frequency alternating magnetic field via high-speed rotating magnetic rollers. When conductive metals (such as copper and aluminum) enter the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced. The resulting magnetic field is in the opposite direction of the original field, creating a repulsive force on the metal and separating it from non-metals (such as plastic and glass).

Sorting Principles and Advantages of Eddy Current Separators

Efficient: A single unit can process 2-5 tons of material per hour, achieving a sorting efficiency exceeding 95%.

Precise: It can separate metal particles embedded in non-metals, achieving a separation rate of up to 98%.

Environmentally friendly: Purely physical sorting, free of chemical pollution, and compliant with renewable resource utilization requirements.

Adaptable: It can sort a wide range of particle sizes (>2mm), suitable for both flake and bulk materials.
