Eddy Current Separator for E-waste & WEEE Recycling

Product Overview

This high-frequency Eddy Current Separator (ECS) is specifically engineered for the electronics recycling industry – processing shredded waste from PCBs (printed circuit boards), lithium-ion battery casings, ABS/PC plastics from WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment), and mixed metal fractions from small appliances. It efficiently separates non-ferrous metals (aluminium, copper, brass, zinc) from non-metallic fractions (plastic, rubber, glass fiber), significantly upgrading the value of your recovered materials before downstream refining or smelting.

Applications in E-waste Recycling

Technical Datasheet:

Key Advantages Optimized for E-waste Streams

Fine Particle Separation (down to 1mm)

High-speed eccentric magnetic rotor (up to 5,200 RPM) generates intense eddy currents capable of ejecting metals as small as 1-2 mm – essential for liberating fine copper and aluminium from milled PCBs or shredded cables.

Non-Stick, Anti-Static Belt

Special anti-static polyurethane belt prevents fine plastic dust and glass fiber from clinging to the surface, ensuring consistent separation over long production runs without frequent cleaning.

Gentle Material Handling

Optimized material trajectory minimizes re-shredding of friable plastics (e.g., ABS, HIPS) – preserves plastic particle integrity for higher-value recycling.

No Cross-Contamination Between Fractions

Precision-engineered splitter baffle with micro-adjustment (0.5mm step) allows clean separation of “metal” vs. “non-metal” even when both fractions have similar particle sizes.

Low Dust Emission Design

Fully sealed feed chute + optional dust extraction port – compliant with indoor WEEE recycling plant HSE requirements.

Why Choose This ECS for Your E-waste Facility

Profit-maximizing output – Turns mixed “metal + plastic” waste into two high-purity fractions: clean non-ferrous metals (higher smelter price) + contaminant-free plastics (higher recycler price).

Space-saving design – Compact footprint (<1.5m height), fits into existing WEEE shredding lines without major conveyor modification.

Low noise & maintenance – Encased magnetic rotor operates at <75 dB(A); belt replacement takes <20 minutes.

Compatible with upstream magnetic drum – Removes ferrous metals first, then ECS captures non-ferrous – standard 2-step WEEE separation train.
