INTENDED USE

Eddy current separator type SWP efficiently separates non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass and zinc) with grain-size distribution over 5 mm, from loose or crushed material fed to a separator.

BENEFITS

• High efficiency of aluminium separation.
• Fast belt replacement.
• Easy operation with lubrication signalling.
• Adjustment of operation parameters with  Siemens® inverters.
• State of the art protective systems including electronic rotor stopping system.
• Leading manufacturer's accessories.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

How can a magnet separate non-magnetic metals such as aluminium or copper? It is possible thanks to eddy currents generated inside metals by a magnetic rotor rotating with high speed. Eddy currents induce magnetic field inside non-ferrous metal pointed in the direction opposite to the magnetic field of the rotor. Non-ferrous metal is repulsed by the magnet and ejected outside material stream. Ferrous metals are attracted by the rotor and, torn out by the belt, they fall under the separator.

APPLICATIONS

• Recovery of non-ferrous metals from municipal and industrial waste.
• Utylisation of cars and household equipment.
• Purification of cullet.
• Purification of wood chips and shavings.
• Recycling of plastics.
