An Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is a high-speed recycling machine designed to recover non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, brass) from waste streams like plastics, glass, and electronic scrap, achieving up to 95% recovery rates. It uses a rapidly spinning a rotor inside a conveyor belt drum to induce repulsive forces in conductive metals, tossing them over a splitter while non-metallic materials drop naturally.

Key Features and Operating Principles :

The short conveyor belt features a drive at the return end and a high-speed magnetic rotor inside rotating drum at the discharge end. The rotor spins rapidly (typically 2,000-4,000 RPM) to generate an alternating magnetic field, while the outer drum matches the belt’s speed for smooth material flow.

As conductive non-ferrous metals (like aluminum or copper) pass over the rotor, eddy currents are induced within them, creating opposing magnetic fields that repel the metals away from the main stream. A splitter plate directs these repelled metals into a separate collection chute, while non-conductive materials such as plastics and glass follow a natural free-fall trajectory into another bin. This design ensures high-purity separation (over 95% efficiency) without chemicals, supports particle sizes from 3-100 mm, and integrates easily into recycling lines.
