Compact Eddy Current Separator for WEEE Plastic Regrind Metal Removal

Compact Eddy Current Separator for WEEE Plastic Regrind Metal Removal

Product Description:

For recyclers focusing on copper recovery from communications cable scrap this eddy current separator delivers exceptional purity levels exceeding 98 percent. The machine uses an eccentric magnetic rotor spinning at 4200 to 5000 RPM to generate a high-frequency alternating field that efficiently ejects copper granules from plastic insulation. The belt width is 600 mm with a throughput capacity of 1.5 to 3 tons per hour for cable granulator output sized 2 mm to 15 mm. A 2.2 kW motor powers the system requiring 460V 60Hz three-phase power. The belt is 5 mm thick anti-static rubber with a textured surface to prevent copper granules from sliding. The frame is painted in RAL 6018 green using a durable two-component epoxy coating. A digital control panel displays rotor speed belt speed and motor current allowing operators to monitor performance in real time. The splitter baffle is adjustable via a handwheel with a digital position indicator for repeatable settings. A dust cover with a 125 mm extraction port connects to facility vacuum systems keeping the separation zone clean. This machine is commonly installed after a cable granulator and before a density separator in wire recycling lines.

Product Introduction

This Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is an advanced sorting system designed to automatically eject non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, zinc, brass) from mixed solid waste streams. Built for continuous operation in Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) facilities, Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) recovery lines, and single-stream recycling centers, it transforms low-grade residue into profitable metal fractions.

Target Applications

• Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Treatment Plants:

  Recovers beverage cans, aluminum foils, and small non-ferrous fragments from the heavy fraction after primary crushing / bag opening.

• Incineration Bottom Ash (IBA) Valorization:

  Extracts valuable non-ferrous metals from bottom ash, maximizing resource recovery and reducing disposal costs.

• Scrap Metal Recycling (Zorba Upgrading):

  Purifies shredded non-ferrous mixtures (Zorba) into high-grade copper, aluminum, and magnesium for smelters.

• Glass / Plastic Purification Lines:

  Removes metal contaminants from crushed glass (cullet) or plastic flakes to protect downstream shredders and improve end-product purity.

Key Advantages for Heavy-Duty Waste Streams

Separation Efficiency Guarantee

Up to 98% recovery rate for aluminium cans (20-50mm size) and 85-92% for fine non-ferrous particles (2-10mm), verified in real MSW plants.

Technical Specifications (Standard Range)

Competitive Advantages for Project Buyers

• Built for 24/7 harsh operation

  Reinforced frame, sealed bearings, and oversized shaft – tested in MSW plants handling >30% moisture and 15% abrasive content.

• Lower operating cost

  Energy-efficient rotor design consumes 20-30% less power than traditional models at same throughput.

• Easy integration

  Bolt-on design with standard inlet/outlet heights; can be retrofitted into existing conveyor lines within 2 days.

• Global after-sales support

  Spare parts (belts, bearings, rotor modules) available from regional warehouses. 12-month warranty + remote troubleshooting.
