Contribute by : Naveen Verma – Bunting’s clean, low-profile Eddy Current Separator uses Magnetic Finite Element Design to optimize the magnetic field, and maximize the focal point and strength of the gauss intensity. It is ideal for achieving maximum separation of small non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum chips, from shredded and ground plastic flake materials. The Eddy Current Separator separates non-ferrous conductive metal from non-conductive recycled materials. This separation mechanic is used extensively in plastics industries to separate shredded aluminum, copper, and steel into purer, higher value product. Through this engineering design and software technology, customers can achieve the cleanest plastic flake materials possible.
These units can also be designed into “custom systems” in combinations with transfer conveyors into and out of the system, magnetic drum separation feeders, high intensity magnetic separation conveyors, magnetic crossbelt conveyors and vibratory feeder trays. Bunting engineers will provide 3D System CAD Models and 2D dimensional drawings for system review analysis when orders are placed.
The Eddy Current Separator is designed to provide the optimal eddy current fields to achieve the maximum separation of small non-ferrous metals from plastic resins. This low maintenance conveyor is fitted with extremely tough urethane belts to allow longer wear. The cantilever frame weldment design allows easy slip off and on belt change within minutes, and has double VFDs for optimizing relative belt speeds. It is available in 24″, 36″, 48″ and 60″ widths with four rotor options available based on your application needs. All of our units can be designed into “custom systems” in combinations with equipment such as transfer conveyors into and out of the system, magnetic drum separation feeders, high intensity magnetic separation conveyors, magnetic crossbelt conveyors and vibratory feeder trays.
