Product Introduction
A non-ferrous metal separator is an intelligent sorting device based on the principle of induced eddy currents, specifically designed to separate and recover non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, and stainless steel) from mixed scrap. The equipment generates induced eddy currents on the surface of metals through a high-frequency alternating magnetic field.
By utilizing the interaction between the reverse magnetic field generated by these eddy currents and the original magnetic field, it achieves precise separation of different non-ferrous metals. As a core piece of equipment in the modern resource recovery industry, the non-ferrous metal separator significantly improves recovery efficiency and metal purity, making it a key device for realizing a circular economy.

Performance Features
High-Precision Intelligent Sorting
High Recognition Accuracy
Utilizing advanced electromagnetic induction technology, the system can accurately detect metal particles ranging from millimeters to several centimeters in size, achieving a recognition accuracy of 95%–99% for different metals (such as copper, aluminum, and stainless steel).
AI-Assisted Sorting
The new-generation equipment integrates an artificial intelligence vision system that assists in identifying metal color, shape, and size, further improving sorting purity and reducing mis-sorting.
High-Efficiency Processing and Energy Efficiency
Powerful Processing Capacity
A single unit can process 3–15 tons per hour (depending on the model), offering 20–50 times the efficiency of manual sorting and significantly reducing labor costs.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Protection
The sorting process is purely physical, requiring no chemicals or water and causing no secondary pollution. The equipment uses high-efficiency, energy-saving motors, reducing energy consumption by 30%–40% compared to traditional sorting methods.
Stability, Reliability, and Intelligent Control
Durable Core Components
The sorting drum is made of special wear-resistant materials, with a service life exceeding 10,000 hours; the electromagnetic system is equipped with high-efficiency cooling devices, supporting 24-hour continuous operation.
Intelligent Control System
Features a touchscreen interface supporting one-click parameter settings, sorting mode memory, automatic fault diagnosis, and remote monitoring, ensuring simple operation and low maintenance costs.
Significant Economic Benefits
Enhanced Recycling Value
The purity of sorted non-ferrous metals reaches over 95%, resulting in a 15%–30% higher selling price compared to mixed metals; the payback period is typically 6–18 months.
Reduced Processing Costs
Automated sorting significantly reduces labor requirements, lowering the cost per ton by 60%–80% compared to manual sorting, yielding substantial long-term economic benefits.
