High-Recovery Eddy Current Separator for Fine Aluminum
Recover valuable fine aluminum and other non-ferrous metal particles from PET flakes, glass cullet, incinerator bottom ash, e-waste, and fine mixed recycling streams. The high-frequency concentric rotor is engineered for stable separation of particles as small as 2 mm.
Fine Non-Ferrous Metal Separation in Action
See how the high-frequency rotor generates eddy currents that eject aluminum and other non-ferrous particles away from the main material stream.
Maximize Purity and Recovery Value
Fine aluminum is easy to lose in conventional sorting. This ECS design helps recycling plants capture more value while improving the purity of downstream plastic, glass, ash, and metal fractions.
Fine Particle Recovery
Optimized for small non-ferrous fragments, the separator can recover fine aluminum particles down to about 2 mm in suitable feed streams.
Higher Product Purity
Removing aluminum, brass, copper, and other non-ferrous contaminants helps improve the quality of PET flakes, glass cullet, ash products, and upgraded scrap.
High-Intensity Rotor
The concentric rare earth magnet rotor creates a strong and uniform field for reliable ejection of small conductive particles across the belt width.
Adjustable Separation Point
Rotor speed, belt speed, feeding condition, and splitter position can be tuned to match changing material mixes and recovery targets.
Industrial-Ready Design
Heavy-duty motors, wear-resistant components, and a practical cantilever frame help the system handle demanding recycling environments.
Better Return on Waste Streams
Recovering small aluminum fractions can turn material that was previously lost into a saleable metal stream and reduce contamination penalties.
How the Eddy Current Separator Works
Material is spread into a thin layer, accelerated over a high-speed magnetic rotor, and separated by the different flight paths of non-ferrous and non-metallic particles.
Uniform Feeding
A stable single-layer feed improves exposure to the magnetic field and supports repeatable separation.
High-Speed Rotor
The magnetic rotor spins at high speed and induces eddy currents inside conductive non-ferrous particles.
Particle Ejection
Aluminum and other conductive metals are thrown forward while non-metallic material follows a shorter trajectory.
Splitter Collection
The adjustable splitter divides recovered metal from clean material according to purity and recovery requirements.
Uniform Feeding
Material is distributed evenly before entering the separation zone.
High-Speed Rotor
The rotor creates a fast-changing magnetic field at the belt end.
Particle Ejection
Conductive metals are pushed into a different flight path.
Splitter Collection
Separated fractions are collected for reuse, sale, or further processing.

High-Recovery Eddy Current Separator FAQs
Answers to key questions about fine aluminum recovery, rotor selection, particle size, and upstream magnetic protection.
It is an eddy current separator optimized to recover small aluminum and other non-ferrous metal particles that standard separators may miss. It uses a high-frequency magnetic rotor, controlled belt speed, and adjustable splitter settings for fine fraction recovery.
In suitable, well-prepared feed streams, the separator can recover non-ferrous metal particles as small as about 2 mm. Actual performance depends on particle shape, conductivity, moisture, feed layer thickness, and upstream screening.
A concentric rotor places magnetic poles across the drum for a strong, uniform field, making it well suited to fine non-ferrous recovery from non-metallic streams. An eccentric rotor offsets the magnetic pole area and is often used where ferrous contamination is heavier.
Yes, it is strongly recommended. Removing ferrous metal before the ECS protects the rotor, reduces belt damage risk, and improves the stability of non-ferrous separation.
Please share your material type, particle size range, moisture level, target throughput, current upstream equipment, and whether your main goal is higher aluminum recovery, higher product purity, or both.
