High Energy Feeders Enhance Presentation to an ECS

High Energy Feeders Enhance Presentation to an ECS

The transfer and spreading of non-ferrous auto shred residue (ASR) for better presentation to an Eddy Current Separator (ECS). Poor presentation results in ineffective separation of aluminum and auto fluff. - Eddy Current’s are designed to separate aluminum from non-ferrous auto shred. This product consists of shredded metal, rubber and auto upholstery. traditional method of feed to the ECS is a vibratory, two motor, high rpm, low stroke, low energy ‘brute-force’ feeder approximately 6’ long. A rubber belt conveyor is also sometimes used. Due to the nature of ASR, transfer and spread is difficult causing a reduction in capacity. The transfer and presentation of product to the ECS is the key to better separation. - Installation resulted in improved aluminum recovery.
