How Eddy Current Separator Works?
An eddy current separator works on the principle of repulsive magnetic force generated by a high-speed rotating magnetic rotor. As material passes through the separator on a conveyor, non-ferrous metals are exposed to alternating magnetic fields that induce electric currents inside them. These induced currents generate a repulsive force, causing non-ferrous metals to be ejected forward into a separate collection area, while non-metallic materials fall naturally. This process enables fast, continuous, and highly efficient separation.
Key Benefits of Using a Eddy Current Separator
The eddy current separator significantly increases the recovery of valuable non-ferrous metals from waste streams. It enhances the overall recycling rate, improves RDF fuel quality by removing heavy metal contaminants, and generates additional revenue from recovered metals. The system reduces landfill disposal, lowers manual sorting requirements, and ensures consistent, high-efficiency separation with minimal operating cost.
