Inductive separator is an effective method for non-ferrous metal recycling. It boasts excellent separation performance, strong adaptability, reliable mechanical structure, lightweight and strong repulsion (adjustable), high separation efficiency, and large processing capacity. It can isolate certain non-ferrous metals from electronic waste. Inductive separators are primarily used in the recycling and processing production lines of electronic waste for separating non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum from mixed materials. They can also be widely applied in the field of environmental protection, particularly in the non-ferrous metal recycling industry.

Operating Principle

During operation, the eddy current separator generates a strong alternating high-frequency magnetic field on the surface of the sorting magnetic roller. When conductive non-ferrous metals pass through the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced within them. These eddy currents produce a magnetic field opposite to the original magnetic field, achieving the sorting objective.

Principle of Eddy Current Separator Operation

Electromagnetic induction separators are a sorting technology that utilizes the different electrical conductivities of materials. The sorting principle is based on two significant physical phenomena: an alternating magnetic field that always accompanies an alternating electric field (Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction); and a current-carrying conductor generates a magnetic field.

During operation, the eddy current separator generates a strong alternating high-frequency magnetic field on the surface of the sorting magnetic roller. When conductive non-ferrous metals pass through the magnetic field, eddy currents are induced within them. These eddy currents produce a magnetic field opposite to the original one, causing the non-ferrous metals (such as copper, aluminum, etc.) to be repelled by the magnetic force and leap forward along the conveying direction, achieving separation from other non-metallic materials and reaching the sorting goal. The primary distinguishing criterion of the eddy current separator is the ratio of material conductivity to density; materials with higher ratios are easier to separate than those with lower ratios.
