The Concentric eddy current separator was designed on the basic theory that an inductive current generates inside a conductor while it is in a state of a high frequency, alternating polarity, magnetic field. When the conductive material reaches this stage in the eddy current separator an eddy current is formed. The alternating polarity causes the conductive material to be forced away from non-conductive material and it is “thrown” forward and away from the other materials.
This allows for an efficient separation by allowing the single stream to be split into two and the materials can be recycled very effectively. LONGi offers multiple styles and designs. Based on the customer’s specific needs either a concentric or eccentric rotor may be recommended as well as different belt and rotor speeds and sizes.
When used in such industries as MURF, auto shredders, nonferrous yards, Escrap and the plastic industries, the eddy current separator can be a great addition to any area when it is necessary to either recover the higher priced metals or remove them as a contaminant from the primary stream.
LONGi’s in house laboratory is well known for providing professional and accurate sample testing for a wide variety of clients in both the mineral and recycling industries. Based on the lab test results and often a necessary site survey our experienced engineers are proud to be able to offer the best solution available every time we can. Not only do we look for the solution to best process the end users material, but, we are mindful to provide the best value and performance in the most economical way.
