Three eddy current separators installed in one line
In a recently initiated project in the Netherlands at Feniks Recycling, Goudsmit Magnetic Systems B.V. has installed three eddy current separators in one line. According to the Dutch manufacturer, the units ensure a maximum yield of recycled metals from domestic waste clinkers, and are removing large, medium as well as very fine fractions. To achieve maximum separation results for the small fractions, a fine-poled magnet rotor was developed, and a test installation has also been manufactured, which the company says is new for the recycling industry. The Neoflux fine-poled magnet rotor used in the installation is located at the end of the conveyor construction. The speed of the rotor can be increased from 0 to 3,000 rpm, while eddy currents are generated. It produces an opposite magnetic field, which causes the non-ferrous metals to dart away. The non-ferrous can then be captured behind a partition bulkhead.
Goudsmit’s eddy current separators have been manufactured especially for the recycling industry and are intended for heavy-duty and dirty work environments. Units are available with an operating width of 40 cm to a maximum of 2.5 metres, allowing for the processing of large quantities of waste. Complete systems consist of a base frame, a vibrating conveyor, a control unit as well as the non-ferrous separator(s). According to Goudsmit, the deployment of the three separators in one line at Feniks will deliver a significantly accelerated return-on-investment for the recycler.
