Concentric Eddy Current Separator
The Concentric eddy current separator was designed on the basic theory that an inductive current is generated inside a conductor while it is in a state of a high frequency , alternating polarity, magnetic field. When the conductive material reaches this stage in the eddy current separator, an eddy current is formed. The alternating polarity causes the conductive material to be forced away from the non-conductive material, and it is “thrown” forward and away from the other materials.
This allows for an efficient separation by allowing the single stream to be split into two, and the materials can be recycled very effectively. We offer multiple styles and designs. Based on the customer’s specific needs, either a concentric or eccentric rotor may be recommended, as well as different belt and rotor speeds and sizes.
When used in such industries as MURF, auto shredders, nonferrous yards, Escrap, and the plastic industries, the eddy current separator can be a great addition to any area when it is necessary to either recover the higher-priced metals or remove them as a contaminant from the primary stream.
