In-line air classifier ACS - ACL

SGM Magnetics’ Air Classifiers are high-performance gravity-based separation systems designed to process Eddy Current Separator (ECS) waste, optimizing the classification of light and heavy fractions. These closed-loop systems efficiently remove soft light contaminants (such as foam, textiles, and dust) while concentrating valuable metals and heavy materials (such as rubber, heavy plastic, and wood), ensuring a higher purity output for downstream processing. Key benefits of SGM Air Classifiers: - Improved material purity: Enhances the efficiency of sensor-based separators and boosts the quality of Zurik and copper wire recovery - Higher efficiency: Concentrates valuable metals in the heavy fraction, representing over 60% of ECS waste weight but less than 50% in volume - Optimized separation: Multi-stage processing for more effective classification of waste streams - Durable & field proven: Designed for high wear resistance with Hardox® 400 components. SGM offers two Air classifier models, designed to accommodate different ASR (Auto Shredder Residue) sizes: - ACS Model – For medium ASR fractions (20mm – 40mm) - ACL Model – For large ASR fractions (40mm – 100mm) By integrating SGM Air Classifiers into your recycling process after the ECS and before sensor-based separation, you achieve better material presentation, improved separation efficiency, and greater overall recovery yields. Typical applications: - Auto Shredder Residue (ASR) - Electronic scrap (WEEE) Separation principle: Gravity-based air classification System type: Closed-loop Contaminant removal: Foam, textiles, dust (light fraction) Heavy fraction concentration: Rubber, heavy plastic, wood, metals Wear resistance: Hardox® 400 components Models: ACS (20-40mm ASR), ACL (40-100mm ASR) Typical input: ECS waste Applications: ASR, WEEE
