Eddy-current separator

Eccentric Eddy Current Separator

The Eccentric Eddy Current Separator is for recovering a defined non-ferrous metal fraction from prepared recycling feed. It belongs after the appropriate crushing or screening steps and after ferromagnetic material has been addressed by a separate magnetic stage. The product page therefore treats feed preparation and process sequence as part of the equipment decision, rather than presenting every metal-separation task as one function. Selected for recycling and material-recovery facilities and prepared mrf and rdf streams.

Product overview

Eccentric Eddy Current Separator

The Eccentric Eddy Current Separator is for recovering a defined non-ferrous metal fraction from prepared recycling feed. It belongs after the appropriate crushing or screening steps and after ferromagnetic material has been addressed by a separate magnetic stage. The product page therefore treats feed preparation and process sequence as part of the equipment decision, rather than presenting every metal-separation task as one function. COWIN MAGNET supplies this eddy-current separator for South African and African projects where the equipment must be matched to the real process rather than selected from a name alone. The review starts with the material stream, installation position, available space and operating environment. Final configuration, commercial availability and any numerical performance data are confirmed by COWIN engineering and the supplier for the requested project.

Product features

Key features

Features shown here come from the current COWIN product record and are confirmed again for the requested configuration.

  • Separation sequence is explicit
  • Feed preparation affects results
  • Equipment roles remain separate
  • Downstream fractions are planned
  • Feed conveyor and metering arrangement
  • Ferrous pre-separation coordinated with the sorting stage
  • Particle-size range confirmed from screened feed

Process fit

Typical applications

COWIN MAGNET supports South African and African projects. These applications describe relevant process contexts, not local installations or inventory.

  • Recycling and material-recovery facilities
  • Prepared MRF and RDF streams
  • Non-ferrous recovery stages after suitable feed preparation
  • Industrial scrap sorting subject to feed assessment

Process objective

What it helps solve

Final outcomes depend on material, installation and the confirmed model.

  • Helps separate suitable non-ferrous material from a prepared stream
  • Supports a defined split between recovered and non-recovered material
  • Keeps performance discussion tied to feed preparation and the selected splitter setting

Product FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Answers apply to this product family and do not replace a project-specific engineering review.

Why is ferrous removal checked before an eddy current separator?

A magnetic pre-separation stage is commonly reviewed before non-ferrous sorting so the feed reaching the eddy current stage is prepared for its intended duty.

Can an eddy current separator remove ferrous tramp iron?

No. Eddy current equipment is used for non-ferrous metal recovery. Ferromagnetic material should be addressed with the appropriate magnetic separation stage.

What information is needed for recycling sorting selection?

Please share feed size, material mix, throughput, upstream preparation, existing ferrous removal, required output fractions and the available conveyor layout.

Can a stainless-steel sorting conveyor be described as a general metal separator?

No. Its application depends on the actual equipment capability and feed. It should be specified separately from magnetic and eddy-current stages.
