General Features

Eddy Current Separators
Idemag Eddy Current Separators are systems developed for high-efficiency separation of non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass and copper from bulk material streams.
Because non-ferrous metals do not interact directly with conventional magnets, separation is achieved through the eddy-current and repulsion effects generated by powerful neodymium magnets rotating at high speed.

Operating Principle
As the magnetic rotor rotates at high speed, it induces eddy currents in conductive non-ferrous metals. The resulting opposing magnetic field directs the metal pieces onto a different trajectory from the other materials, enabling automatic separation.
The number of magnetic poles is selected according to the particle size of the material to be separated. The magnetic rotor configuration can be optimized according to the application characteristics and the structure of the product to be separated.

Pre-Separation System
Before the Eddy Current Separator, the use of a ferrous-metal separator such as an Overband Magnetic Separator, Magnetic Drum or Magnetic Pulley is recommended to remove ferrous metals.
This pre-separation step helps protect the conveyor belt and magnetic rotor while also improving the efficiency of the non-ferrous metal separation process.

Metals That Can Be Separated
  • Aluminium
  • Copper
  • Brass
  • Other conductive non-ferrous metals

Key Features
  • High-performance non-ferrous metal separation
  • High-speed neodymium magnetic rotor system
  • Magnetic-pole configuration optimizable according to material particle size
  • Robust industrial design for long service life
  • High-quality, durable PVC conveyor belt
  • Rotor configuration customizable for different applications
  • Modular system design
  • Easy integration into existing recycling and separation lines

Optional Vibratory Feeder
A vibratory feeder can be integrated into the system to improve separation performance. The vibratory feeder distributes the material uniformly across the separator surface, creating a more consistent and efficient separation process.

Typical Applications
  • Separation of aluminum beverage cans from dry recycling streams
  • Removal of non-ferrous metals from shredded wood
  • Removal of metal contamination in glass-recycling processes
  • Separation of non-ferrous metals from shredded automotive components
  • Processing of foundry slag
  • Separation of foundry sand
  • Processing of household and industrial waste
  • Municipal solid-waste recycling plants
