Advanced Non-Ferrous Metal Separation Technology
Bunting® Eddy Current Separators (ECS) are engineered to automatically separate non-ferrous metals—such as aluminum, copper, and brass—from your product stream. These separators are critical in recycling, plastics, wood, and glass processing facilities, as well as in the recovery of valuable metals from waste.
Using high-speed magnetic rotors, our Eddy Current systems induce strong repelling forces that launch non-ferrous metals away from the remaining materials—producing a cleaner, more valuable product while reducing equipment wear and preventing contamination.
Flake Fraction Eddy Current Separator
Designed for separating small, lightweight metallic flakes from plastic flake, PET, and other fine materials. This model maximizes gauss intensity and rotor speed to ensure the best separation of micro-sized conductive particles.
Ideal For:
- PET recycling
- Plastic flake separation
- Electronics recycling (E-scrap)
- Glass cullet
Key Features:
- High pole count rotor for small particle ejection
- Thermoplastic belt with sealed side walls
- Adjustable splitter for precise material control
Medium Fraction Eddy Current Separator
Engineered for mid-size particles, this model balances power and throughput. The rotor design offers powerful repelling forces for effective separation of medium-sized metals like aluminum lids, shredded copper, and fragmented alloys.
Ideal For:
- Aluminum can reclamation
- Plastics with embedded metal
- Municipal recycling (MRF)
- Wire recovery
Key Features:
- Medium pole count rotor for versatility
- Neodymium magnet array
- Integrated feeder and splitter systems
Large Fraction Eddy Current Separator
Built for the heaviest and bulkiest non-ferrous metals, this unit is structurally reinforced to withstand large material volumes and impact forces. Large diameter rotors create strong repulsion to eject big metal pieces cleanly from the product stream.
Ideal For:
- Auto shredding (ASR)
- Foundry and demolition waste
- Wood waste and bulky construction debris
Key Features:
- Lower rotor speed with extended repelling distance
- Heavy-duty frame and armor options
- Side panel access for maintenance
