EDDY CURRENT CAN SEPARATOR
Maximise Recovery of Aluminium Cans
High performance rotor design allows for maximum recovery of aluminium cans
from plastics, glass, paper and other non-metallics.
Minimise Maintenance
Comprehensive belt seal guarding system and sidewall belt keep material on
the belt surface and prevent damage to rotor drum. The rotor is built using
high intensity non-deteriorating permanent magnets, so not only is no power
required to the magnet, but it will also provide maximum magnetic force for
the lifetime of the machine. The rotor will separate occasional steel cans
into the non-metallics, but it is necessary to remove the majority of steel
before reaching the ECCS for continuous trouble free operation.
Optimise Throughput
We offer a high-speed belt conveyor to provide the best throughput available
with the most efficient width of rotor to suit your application. Variable
belt speed is available upon request.
Maximum Magnetic Force
We always recommend and provide the maximum magnetic intensity required for
each application. We have designed a range of magnetic systems that provide
the highest levels of separation required depending on the application
requirements. This ensures that precise separation is achieved.
Maximum Frequency
The frequency of the ECS rotor is critical to ensure that good separation is
achieved. This is why we have developed a rotor specifically for can sorting
that has the maximum number of poles and rotates at the optimum speed to
give the best and most selective separation of aluminium cans.
Belt Changing
A cantilever framework turns belt changing into a simple operation without
having to strip the machine. This considerably reduces any possible down
time.
Standard parts
All bearings and drive gear are standard proprietary items that can be
obtained from either Magnapower or most bearing suppliers.
Operation
A high speed, high intensity magnetic rotor inside the head drum of the ECCS
conveyor induces a magnetic field into aluminium cans on the belt surface.
These magnetically induced cans react with the magnetic field of the rotor
causing them to be propelled forward further than the other material on the
belt.
Aluminium / Steel Can Sorting
We manufacture a complete range of can sorters for separating steel cans
from aluminium cans. Please contact us for further details on this range of
equipment. This Eddy Current Can Separator has been designed to follow on
from a steel/aluminium (magnetic) Can Sorter to provide clean Steel :
Aluminium : Non-metallics.
