Shuliy eddy current separator is designed to separate non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and stainless steel from non-metallic materials. This equipment utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction to efficiently separate materials from mixed waste.
Its output is 4-15 tons per hour, and it can be effectively integrated with car recycling and dismantling lines, as well as electronic waste processing lines, significantly improving recycling efficiency.
Advantages and precautions of non ferrous metal separator
This eddy current non-ferrous separator can efficiently separate various non-ferrous metals in recycling operations. Its strong repulsive force allows it to separate materials of different particle sizes depending on the direction of the magnetic roller, with the following basic features.
- High separation efficiency
- Reliable mechanical structure
- Easy operation and installation
It has strong adaptability to different recycled materials, but when using this equipment, please note the following:
- Not suitable for separating ferrous metals such as iron.
- Not suitable for extremely fine non-ferrous metal particles.
- For optimal performance, the size and shape of the material should be relatively uniform.
Working principle of the eccentric eddy current separator
Eddy current separators operate based on electromagnetic induction. Inside the machine, a high-speed rotating magnetic rotor generates a rapidly changing magnetic field. When conductive metals such as aluminum or copper pass through this magnetic field, eddy currents are generated within the metal.
These eddy currents generate a reverse magnetic field, creating a strong repulsive force. Therefore, non-ferromagnetic metals are thrown forward and separated from other materials.
Simultaneously, non-conductive materials such as plastics, rubber, and glass fall due to gravity, thus achieving efficient metal separation.
Structural design of the eddy current separator
The aluminum separator machine features a modular structure, allowing for easy integration into new recycling plants and existing metal processing production lines. Its main structural components include:
- Vibrating feeder: Responsible for uniformly feeding material into the sorting system, maintaining a stable and continuous material supply, thereby improving the accuracy of metal sorting.
- Conveyor belt system: Transports mixed waste material to the magnetic rotor at a stable and controllable speed.
- High-speed magnetic rotor: The magnetic rotor is the core component of the eddy current separator. It contains a series of high-speed rotating, powerful permanent magnets arranged in a special pattern.
- Separation baffles: Separate the material into different collection areas.
- Frame structure: Constructed with high-strength steel to ensure good durability and vibration resistance.
- Intelligent control cabinet: The central control system of the machine.
- Magnetic system protection: Prevents magnetic components from loosening or falling off during high-speed rotation.

Applications of the eddy current non-ferrous separator
Eddy current separators are widely used in numerous industries, including metal recycling and waste resource recovery.
- Metal recycling separators are commonly used in municipal solid waste treatment plants to recover aluminum and other valuable metals from household and industrial waste.
- In automobile dismantling plants, eddy current separators can recover copper, aluminum, and stainless steel from shredded vehicle materials.
- It is suitable for recovering non-ferrous metals from electronic waste, waste motors, and electrical equipment.
- Furthermore, in the metal casting industry, aluminum separator machines can recover aluminum and copper from copper and aluminum foundry sand and smelting ash.
- The non-ferrous metal separator is particularly suitable for recovering aluminum from discarded thermally broken aluminum doors and windows.
Furthermore, in most recycling plants, aluminum separators are integral to a complete metal recycling production line. A typical configuration includes:
- Mental crusher or pulverizer
- Magnetic separator (for removing ferrous metals)
- Eddy current separator
This system efficiently recovers iron, aluminum, copper, and other valuable metals from mixed waste.
The specific production line configuration will be determined based on the raw materials to be processed and the customer’s requirements for the final product. If you need metal recycling for scrap materials, contact us to design a custom solution!
