Magnetic, eddy current, and density separation equipment for isolating ferrous metals, aluminium, copper, and electronic components from mixed waste streams.
Purpose-built machines for extracting metallic fractions and recovering high-value components from shredded or granulated waste materials.
Different separation principles target different material fractions. Systems can be combined in sequence for multi-fraction metal recovery.
Overhead belt or drum magnetic separators for continuous ferrous metal extraction from conveyor-fed material streams.
| Belt Width | 500–2,000 mm |
|---|---|
| Magnet Type | Permanent / Electro |
| Field Strength | Up to 12,000 Gauss |
| Separation | Ferrous metals |
High-speed rotor with rare-earth magnets generates eddy currents that repel non-ferrous metals (Al, Cu, Zn) from material flow.
| Belt Width | 600–1,800 mm |
|---|---|
| Rotor Speed | 2,000–4,000 RPM |
| Throughput | 1–15 t/h |
| Separation | Non-ferrous metals |
Two-stage system: granulator reduces PCBs and cables, followed by air classification and electrostatic separation to recover metals from non-metals.
| Feed Material | PCB, wire, cable |
|---|---|
| Output | Metal / Non-metal flake |
| Metal Recovery | >96% by weight |
| Throughput | 100–500 kg/h |
Gravity and air-based separation systems complement magnetic and eddy current separators to achieve higher output purity.
Upward airflow separates light fractions (plastic film, paper dust) from dense fractions (metals, glass, mineral particles).
Heavy media or plain water tanks separate materials by specific gravity. Effective for separating mixed plastics by resin type.
Inclined paddle screen separates 3D items (bottles, containers) from 2D flat material (film, paper) and fines in a single pass.
High-voltage corona discharge separates conductor (metal) particles from non-conductor (plastic) particles after e-waste granulation.
