Following various processing stages – like for instance disintegration crushing, classification and magnetic separation – the non-ferrous metal separator facilitates the recovery of clean, marketable non-ferrous metal mixtures containing aluminium, copper, zinc or brass. The non-ferrous metal separator can therefore be used any place where non-ferrous metals can be recovered or separated, for example when processing shredded scrap, demolition waste, municipal solid waste, packaging waste, bottom ashes from waste incineration, aluminium salt slags, e-waste, wood chips, glass or moulding sand.

The Eddy Current Separator is used widely in the recycling industry to either recover or remove non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials. Different designs enable the separation of small (down to 3mm) and large non-ferrous metals. The Eddy Current Separator (ECS) utilises magnetic forces to physically repel non-ferrous metals and enables separation from non-conductive materials. The eddy current separator is often supplied as part of a metal separation module with a first-stage drum magnet removing ferrous metals.

To maximise the separation and recovery of non-ferrous metals, Bunting has developed four different eddy current separator models:

High-Intensity Eccentric (HIE) ECS – for small non-ferrous metals down to 3mm;

High-Intensity Concentric (HIC) ECS – for small non-ferrous metals down to 10mm;

R Type ECS – for general recycling applications where non-ferrous metals are above 20mm;

Can Sorter (CS) ECS – A cost-efficient model designed specifically for the recovery of aluminium cans;

Eddy Current Separators commonly form part of a Metal Separation Module as a two-stage metal separator. Material initially passes over a Permanent Drum Magnet to remove and recover ferrous metals, leaving a non-magnetic fraction. The Eddy Current Separator then separates non-ferrous metals from the non-conductive remains.
