EDDY CURRENT SEPARATION EQUIPMENT

For dependable efficient separation of aluminum cans and other non-ferrous metals from household or industrial waste, Walker now offers eddy current separation equipment with ceramic or rare-earth magnet material, depending on the application.

Eddy current separation is based on the use of a magnetic rotor with alternating polarity, spinning rapidly inside a drum driven by a conveyor belt as non-ferrous metals pass over the drum, the alternating magnetic field creates eddy currents that repel the material away from the conveyor. While other materials drop off at the end of the conveyor, the non-ferrous metals are propelled over a splitter for separation. Walker's eddy current separation equipment can be used to remove non-ferrous metals from municipal solid waste, car shredding operations, glass culler, electronic scrap, UBC reclamation, etc.

A pioneer in the use of magnetic technology for industrial application since 1896, O.S. Walker can design and manufacture a complete eddy current conveyor system or simply furnish the magnetic drum or any other piece of separation equipment to meet your requirements. Systems can be designed into new separation facilities or incorporated into existing installations.
