Eddy Current Separator is a non-ferrous metal separator basically consists of a short conveyor with a rapidly rotating system of permanent magnets incorporated in the head drum. The magnets generate strong eddy currents in the non-ferrous metals parts ejecting them from the rest of the material flow. It features an adjustable eccentric pole system so that the application of force can be optimally adjusted for maximum ejection efficiency.
Technology
– The head drum of the eddy current separator contains a rapidly rotating neodymium permanent magnet system.
– Through its rotation, this pole system generates a high-frequency alternating magnetic field.
– Eddy currents are induced in conductive non ferrous metals passing through this magnetic field, which generate their own magnetic field counteracting the excitation field.
– Non-ferrous metals are rejected from the rest of the material flow due to the resulting repulsive force pulse.
– The eccentric pole system developed by STEINERT guarantees maximum availability and cost-effectiveness.
– The core feature of the STEINERT EddyC® model range is a self-supporting frame design, which enables faster belt changes and optimized maintenance.
