Eddy Current Sorter for Advanced Metal Separation

In any large-scale recycling operation, the quality of separation directly impacts profitability. Inefficient sorting leads to contaminated final products and loss of valuable material to waste streams. The EFFICIENT eddy current sorter is a robust, industrial-grade solution built to deliver clean, high-purity separation of non-ferrous metals from mixed materials, enhancing the overall efficiency of your entire scrap metal recycling line equipment.

The Sorter’s Role in Automated Material Processing

An eddy current sorter is a key machine in any modern metal recovery system. Typically placed after a magnetic separator has removed iron, its job is to perform the crucial next step: separating valuable non-ferrous metals from all other non-metallic materials.

This powerful non-ferrous separator is essential for:

• Processing Mixed Metals (Zorba/ASR): It effectively separates lightweight aluminum and copper from heavier non-metals like rubber and plastic, purifying the metal fraction.
• Recycling E-Waste: It accurately ejects non-ferrous metal fragments from shredded circuit boards and components, a critical step in e-waste recycling.
• Sorting Municipal Solid Waste (MSW): It excels at recovering commodities like aluminum cans from the general waste stream, turning waste into value.

The Sorting Principle: Reliable Physics at Work

The technology behind our aluminum separator machine is straightforward and highly reliable. As material travels over a high-speed magnetic rotor, a powerful field induces “eddy currents” in any non-ferrous metal. This creates a natural repulsion, which physically ejects the metals into a separate chute. All other materials, being unaffected, simply fall off the end of the conveyor. It’s an automated, mechanical sorting process that works continuously and effectively.

The EFFICIENT Advantage: Built for the Job

An EFFICIENT scrap sorting equipment is designed for performance and reliability in demanding industrial environments.

• Adjustable & Consistent Operation: The machine features robust mechanical controls to fine-tune the separation process. Once set for your specific material, it provides consistent and effective automated sorting with minimal oversight.
• Engineered for Durability: We prioritize a long service life. By using high-grade bearings and a reinforced, fully-sealed rotor housing, our machines are built for continuous duty, requiring less maintenance and reducing costly downtime.
• Focus on ROI: Better separation means less valuable metal is lost, and the final product is cleaner. This leads to a higher market value for your materials and a machine that delivers a fast return on investment.

Customized Solutions & Material Testing

Every recycling operation is unique. We understand that your material stream might be damp, dusty, or contain varying particle sizes. EFFICIENT offers customized belt widths and motor configurations to ensure the equipment fits perfectly into your existing setup. Furthermore, we provide professional material testing. You can send a sample of your mixed scrap to our facility, and our engineers will provide a detailed report on the separation purity and recovery rates you can expect, giving you total confidence before you buy.
