WEEE Sorting Equipment Eddy Current Separator for Small Appliance Residue

Product Description:

Designed for fine particle separation this eddy current machine recovers copper and aluminum from PCB dust and milled circuit board material down to 1 mm in size. The eccentric magnetic rotor spins at up to 5200 RPM creating an alternating field frequency of 85 Hz which is optimal for ejecting small low-mass metal particles. The working width is 500 mm handling 0.8 to 1.8 tons per hour of fine PCB powder. A 1.5 kW drive motor powers the system using 380V 50Hz three-phase electricity. The belt is made from 4 mm thick anti-static polyurethane with a mirror-smooth surface to prevent fine particles from adhering. An industrial white epoxy coating covers the frame allowing operators to easily spot contamination or material buildup. The magnetic rotor is enclosed in a 2 mm stainless steel shell with welded seams to prevent dust penetration. The splitter baffle features a micrometer adjustment knob with 0.1 mm resolution for ultra-precise cut point setting. A vibratory feeder with variable amplitude ensures even material distribution across the entire belt width. This machine is typically installed after a pulverizer and before an air classifier in advanced PCB recycling systems.

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
