EDDY CURRENT SEPARATOR (ECS)
Innovative Recycling Technology - For nonferrous metal separation
Bunting® Magnetics Co. offers Eddy Current Separators (ECS) for the Municipal, Plastics, E-Scrap and Metals Recycling Industries. Bunting® ECS’s clean low profile streamlined design has used magnetic finite element design software to optimize the gauss flux density in the working area above the belt to optimize the eddy current forces, separation efficiency and product throw.
The Bunting® ECS core is designed to provide the gauss intensity to optimize separation on a wide range of nonferrous materials and part sizes. It is protected with the tough urethane belt and the carbon fiber epoxy shell. From aluminum cans to kitchen pots and pans, this unit does an excellent job of throw and separation. The eccentric core is designed to be rotated to further optimize the product throw.
Bunting® ECS units are available in 24”, 36”, 48” and 60” widths and 96” long. The 24” wide may be common in the Glass Recycling industry and the other 3 sizes in Municipal, Plastic, E-Scrap and Metal Recycling Industries depending on the capacity requirement.
One of the key design features of the Bunting Magnetics Co. Eddy Current Separator is how maintenance friendly it is. The drop down side panel can easily be be lowered by one person for quick and easy belt change. Only one tool is required to loosen the belt, drop the side panel, replace the belt, retrack the belt and be back running production.
The rubber lagged inverter duty motorized drive pulley at the infeed provides for exceptional driving force, variable speed drive and a clean out of the way design. Easy to work on when needed and it provides a variable 100 to 300 fpm belt speed to optimize your separation.
The ECS drive come complete with two VFDs to program ramp up starting. The ECS unit has the highest quality urethane endless belt with 1 ½” urethane flexwall and 3 sweeper cleats to help kick off ferrous contamination. In addition to the flexwall the Bunting ECS has a secondary brush seal outside the flexwall as a double seal protection from material getting inside the conveyor frame.
