Introduction to Eddy Current Separator

Eddy current separator is a device used to separate non-ferrous metals from a mixed stream of materials that contain magnetic and non-magnetic metals. It works on the principle of generating eddy currents in a conductive material, which creates a magnetic field that repels the non-ferrous metals, causing them to be separated from the rest of the materials.

Eddy current separators are commonly used in recycling and waste processing industries to recover non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, and brass from waste streams. They are also used in mining operations to recover valuable minerals from ore deposits.
