In the competitive recycling market, purity and efficiency are paramount. The Shuliy eddy current separator is an advanced sorting solution engineered to automatically and precisely separate valuable non-ferrous metals from non-metallic materials. By automating your sorting process, our machine drastically reduces labor costs, increases operational throughput, and significantly boosts the value of your recovered materials.

Applications: From Raw Waste to Valuable Commodities

Our versatile eddy current separator is the ideal solution for a wide range of recycling industries. It efficiently processes diverse raw materials to recover clean, high-value finished products.

How It Works: A Step-by-Step Guide

The working principle of our eddy current separator is a clean and efficient application of physics. The separation happens in a few simple steps:

  1. Material Feed: Mixed material is evenly fed onto a conveyor belt.
  2. High-Speed Magnetic Rotor: The belt carries the material over a rapidly spinning rotor containing powerful permanent magnets. This creates an intense, changing magnetic field.
  3. Inducing Eddy Currents: As non-ferrous metals (like aluminum or copper) pass through this magnetic field, it induces powerful electrical currents within them, known as “eddy currents.”
  4. Magnetic Repulsion: These eddy currents generate their own magnetic field that opposes the rotor’s field. This repulsion force physically “kicks” the non-ferrous metals forward and away from the rest of the material.
  5. Automatic Separation: The ejected metals fly into a separate collection bin, while the non-metallic materials (plastic, glass, wood, etc.) are unaffected and simply fall off the end of the conveyor belt into a different bin.

The Shuliy Advantage: Key Features & Benefits

Choosing Shuliy means investing in performance, intelligence, and durability.

  • Intelligent & Automated Control: Our machines feature a modern PLC touch control system with variable frequency drive. This allows for simple, one-button start-up and easy adjustment to fine-tune the separation process for your specific materials.
  • Superior Sorting Performance: The high-performance, eccentric magnetic rotor is engineered for maximum separation efficiency, effectively recovering non-ferrous metals with a particle size of 2mm and up.
  • Durable & Reliable Construction: Built for demanding industrial environments, our separators use high-grade imported bearings and effective magnetic shielding to protect the rotor, ensuring a long service life and reliable operation.

Integrate Into a Complete Scrap Metal Processing Line

An eddy current separator performs best as part of a complete recycling line. To achieve the highest purity, material is often first processed by a scrap metal shredder, with ferrous metals removed by a Magnetic Drum Separator before being fed into the eddy current separator. We can help you design a complete, turnkey solution to meet your specific needs.
