Operation
Material is fed onto the conveyor belt of the eddy current separator, which moves it across the magnetic rotor
where separation occurs (Fig. 1). The two streams of material discharge into a housing. The housing has a split-
ter to divide the nonferrous metal from the nonmetallic material, such as paper, plastic, wood or fluff.
.............................................................................................
The key component of the eddy current separator is
the magnetic rotor, which has a series of permanent
rare earth magnets mounted on a support plate
attached to a shaft.
The magnetic rotor is surrounded by (but not
attached to) a wear shell which supports the
conveyor belt. This allows the rotor to spin inde-
pendently and at a much higher speed than the
wear shell and belt. When a piece of nonferrous
metal, such as aluminum, passes over the
separator, the magnets inside the rotor rotate
past the aluminum at high speed. This forms
eddy currents in the aluminum which in turn cre-
ate a magnetic field around the piece of aluminum. The polarity of that magnetic field is
the same as the rotating magnet, causing the aluminum to be repelled away from the magnet.
This repulsion makes the trajectory of the aluminum greater than that of the nonmetallics,
allowing the two material streams to be separated.

Applications
Dings eddy current separator is engineered to withstand severe outdoor environments and dirty, dusty
surroundings found at many job sites. Permanent rare earth magnets used in the separator are well-suited to
industrial environments.

Typical applications include:


Material Recovery Facilities (MRF)
Aluminum Can Recycling
Electronic Scrap Processing
Auto Recycling / Shredding
White Good Recycling
Plastics
Glass
