The mechanical recovery of non-ferrous metals is the economic basis of all recycling – and the STEINERT Eddy Current Separator with Eccentric Pole System fulfills the associated requirements perfectly! High yield and long life are the qualities that make
for assured, long-term operating result.
The non-ferrous metal separator can be used wherever non-ferrous metals have to be recovered or separated, e.g. where shredder material, municipal waste, incinerator ash, electronic scrap, wood chips, glass, batteries or foundry sand are processed.
Application
Shredder material
Light and heavy shredder fractions contain substantial non-ferrous metals. Up to five percent non-ferrous metals are contained in the light fraction – valuable materials which, even today, often end up in the landfill. The heavy fraction is dry-processed to recover clean, saleable non-ferrous metals after screening and magnetic separation. If a wet process like flotation sorting is used, the non-ferrous metal separator recovers a clean aluminium concentrate from the flotation product.
Refuse processing
Non-ferrous metal separators are used to recover metal packaging from municipal waste. Other areas of application include compost, glass, and paper processing and the recycling of refuse incineration ash – for both the maximum recovery of valuable metals and for metal-free products.
Other potential applications
Metal-free scrap wood is becoming more important as an alternative fuel and a raw material for the derived timber products industry. The STEINERT non-ferrous metal separator also demonstrates especially high capabilities in the processing of electronic scrap, cables, printed-circuit boards and foundry sands. Even finely divided non-ferrous metals with grain sizes down to 1 mm can be separated thanks to the eccentric system.
