The Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is an advanced non-ferrous separator that is capable of separating domestic and industrial waste into two individual containers, separating non-ferrous metals such as aluminium and copper from non-metallic materials such as wood and plastics.
Non-ferrous separators are very common in the fast growing market of can sorting, where they can separate aluminium cans. Dependent on the application there are two types of ECS rotors available, there is a high strength rotor for delicate or specialised separations, and a standard rotor for less complex separations such as cans.

Around the drum, a conveyor belt carries the product to the end of the conveyor, where the high-speed rotor induces an opposing magnetic field. This opposing field repels the non-ferrous from the other materials.
Master Magnets recommend that clients purchase a ferrous separator such as a Drum, pulley or overband separator to separate ferrous material (e.g. steel). This will give the belt a longer operating life and ensure a complete separation of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Common non-ferrous metals that can be separated using an Eddy Current Separator are Aluminium, Copper and Magnesium. |
Applications
Eddy Current Separators are increasingly used wherever separation of non-ferrous metals from a product stream can give a more valuable product, whether the end use is in recycling, waste reduction, raw material production or any other process whereby separation is beneficial. Typical examples of applications are : | Separation of non ferrous metals in auto shredder residueSeparation of non ferrous metals from solid waste incinerator ashSorting of steel and aluminum beverage cansRemoval of contamination from crushed glass culletSeparation of non ferrous dross from foundry sandNon ferrous metal removal in WEEE recycling plantsRemoval of aluminum components in UPVC window recyclingSeparation of non ferrous metals from wood wasteSeparation of non ferrous metals from plasticSeparation of non ferrous metals from electronic scrapSeparation of non ferrous metals from car recycling | |  |
Models
Belt widths range from 300-1500mm, the size of the belt is determined by the throughput required. Master Magnets can supply a basic 'drop in' unit, which is the most economical model in our range. Master Magnets can also supply a high specification model, which can include the following optional extras;
- Variable speed control panel
- Base frame, Hoods, diverters and chutes
- Vibratory feeder
- Permanent drum magnet for ferrous separation
