Eriez Introduces Separator for E-Scrap

Eriez is offering advanced, cost-effective Electrostatic Separators that use surface conductivity to recover valuable metals from electronic scrap including chopped wire.

Electrostatic separation relies on the difference in surface conductivity of the materials to be separated. Fine conductive and nonconductive particles can be efficiently separated using Eriez Electrostatic Rotor Separators. Applications include:

* Chopped wire (Cu & Al)

* Computer scrap

* Circuit boards

* Complex scrap

* Aluminum & PE Dealer-mix cable ACSR cable

With Eriez Electrostatic Rotor Separators, a high-potential electric charge is applied to the material via an energized pinning electrode. The conductive particles dissipate this charge and are subsequently thrown from the rotor by centrifugal force. Nonconductive particles are not able to dissipate the charge and are pinned to the grounded roll surface. The nonconductive particles are subsequently removed from the rotor surface mechanically by a brush and aided by an AC wiper used to negate the charge.

These separators offer a wide array of innovative features. To learn more about the many benefits of Electrostatic Separators, contact Eriez.
