The new Eddy Current Separator

Eriez has added the RevX Separator to its European range of Eddy Current Separators. The new model is the result of a specific design programme aimed at improving the level of separation and increasing metal recovery.

The new separator has a strong magnetic rotor that revolves at high speeds inside a non-magnetic shell. A conveyor belt transports material into the revolving field, where eddy currents are generated in the non-ferrous metals causing the particle to repel away from the rotating magnetic field. Eriez stresses the rotation speed of the magnetic rotor is not the key indicator of the separation performance and can be misleading. The separation performance is a function of the magnetic rotor configuration, field depth, rotation direction and the rotation speed. The shape and size also has a major effect on how a non-ferrous metal particle reacts in the magnetic field.

The magnetic rotors of the RevX, designed using finite element analysis, are intended to suit materials with specific particle size ranges. The RevX Model NM-L is for larger particles, over 25 mm in size; whereas the NM-S enables superior separation of problematic smaller particles. These options provide recyclers with equipment to meet their particular separation needs.

The RevX is available in feed widths up to 2000 mm with 1500 mm between the pulleys of the conveyor. The structure is compact and ideally suited for plants where space is at a premium. The framework is heavy duty and designed for easy maintenance with easily removable covers. A front nose section and splitter, adjustable and configured for the size of the material, can be supplied if required.
