The Eddy Current Separator (R-SPM) manages to separate non-ferrous metals from the rest of the materials thanks to its well-designed magnetic assembly called the induction drum, which rotates at high speed. When a non-ferrous metal crosses the induced magnetic field, it experiences a repulsion effect and jumps a certain distance ahead of the Eddy Current drum and away from the rest of the materials.
Introduction to Eddy Currents
Aware of the serious environmental problem, we have developed a complete range of equipment for the separation and recycling of non-ferrous metals by eddy currents (R-SPM). This is aimed at recovering non-ferrous metals and thus significantly reducing the final disposal of products. Metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous, form one of the material groups to be most considered in waste reduction, as they represent a high value. As the most important non-ferrous metal, we should consider aluminum, which plays a significant role in our daily lives (cans, cartons, coffee makers, automobiles, etc.) and can be reprocessed countless times.
Physical Principle of Eddy Currents
The physical principle of eddy currents is based on an alternating magnetic field, that is, a magnetic field where the North and South poles change alternately. Let's consider a simple magnet. The lines of force that generate the magnetic field close from one magnetic pole to the other (N-S). If we place a ferrous metal within the lines of force, they will attract it towards the magnet. On the contrary, if we place a non-ferrous metal within the lines of force, they do not produce any effect on the non-ferrous metal.
