The Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is an advanced separator, that is capable of separating domestic and industrial waste into three individual containers separating non ferrous material, ferrous material and non metallic material.

They are very common in the fast growing market of can sorting, where they can separate aluminium cans from steel 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.

The rotor revolves at a high speed within a slower rotating non-metallic drum, around which there is a special conveyor belt to carry the product to be separated into the eddy current field.

The eddy current field will then levitate the non ferrous material (e.g. aluminium), allowing for the non metallic’s (e.g. wood and plastics) to free fall and the ferrous material (e.g. steel) will be carried around the belt until it leaves the rotor.
