Eddy Current Magnetic Separator

Introducing the Eddy Current Separator (ECS) from Linux Magnetic, an advanced metal sorting unit designed to separate non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper from dry recyclables. Non-ferrous separators are widely used in the fast-growing market of beverage can sorting, offering precise separation of aluminum cans from waste streams. Depending on the application, Linux Magnetic offers four rotor options, each designed to meet specific requirements.

Operating Principles

The Eddy Current Separator comprises a short belt conveyor with its drive located at the return end and a high-speed magnetic rotor system installed at the discharge end. The magnetic rotor, positioned within a separately rotating non-metallic drum, rotates at approximately 3000 revolutions per minute during operation, while the outer drum cover rotates at the speed of the ECS's belt conveyor. As the rotor spins at high speeds, conducting metals induce an electric current. This current generates a magnetic field, which opposes the field created by the rotor, causing the conducting metals to be repelled over a pre-positioned splitter plate. Plastics, glass, and other dry recyclables simply free-fall over the rotor, separating them from the repelled metals.
