How to choose a suitable eddy current separator

Preface: When choosing an eddy current separator, you need to consider the following key factors to ensure that the equipment can meet production needs and has good performance. The choice of eddy current separator should be considered in terms of cost, efficiency, quality, comfort, product after-sales service, price and cost performance, technical characteristics and advantages.

1. Purchase cost: The current solid waste sorting technology is relatively mature, and the cost of making a good separator has also been reduced, so its selling price has also been relatively reduced. For some things, we should focus on its practical value rather than added value. Some separators are expensive. You need to know why they are expensive. A separator with good cost performance is enough. You don’t need to find an expensive one (too cheap is not okay).

2. Screening efficiency: The efficiency of the separator. Depending on the material, the efficiency of the eddy current separator is about 98%. Regarding the issue of sorting efficiency, it is better for everyone to conduct an on-site inspection. You can bring your own materials for testing to see if you are satisfied with the sorting efficiency. No matter how good it is, it is not as good as seeing it yourself.

3. Product quality: Quality is also a concern for everyone. For example, we will collect and test the quality of different equipment components and parts, so as to choose the one with good quality to make the equipment and focus on the quality of the equipment. Some factories use parts of poor quality in order to save a little manufacturing cost. In the long run, this is a very stupid operation.

4. Comfort of use: Comfort means not to worry too much when using the equipment. This is a combination of various problems. When the quality is good, the price is right, and the sorting effect is satisfactory, this is a relatively smooth equipment. Of course, we will also provide services such as sorting scheme production, process design, usage tutorials and training, installation, and one-to-one after-sales service.

5. Understanding of the equipment: Whether a piece of equipment is mature also depends on whether it is easy to master and understand. In many cases, the failure to bring into play the ability of the equipment lies in the lack of understanding of the equipment. Visual windows and opening and closing doors are added to the key parts of the equipment in order to control the equipment more intuitively and conveniently and bring out its advantages. At the same time, it is also convenient to carry out maintenance and troubleshooting. Unlike other equipment, there is no way to start if there is a problem after buying it.

6. Use scenarios and requirements:

a. Material type and composition: clarify the type of material to be sorted (such as metal, non-metal), composition (such as the proportion of metals such as copper, aluminum, iron, etc.) and physical properties of the material (such as size, shape, density, etc.). These factors will directly affect the selection and configuration of the sorting machine.

b. Sorting purpose and requirements: determine the purpose of sorting, such as improving metal recovery rate, removing impurities or achieving separation of specific metals and non-metals. At the same time, understand the specific requirements for sorting accuracy, production efficiency and purity.

7. Equipment performance and specifications

a. Sorting accuracy: The sorting accuracy of the eddy current sorter is one of its core performance indicators. The higher the accuracy, the higher the purity of the sorted metal, but it may be accompanied by a decrease in processing speed. Therefore, it is necessary to balance accuracy and speed according to actual needs.

b. Production efficiency: Production efficiency is closely related to the processing capacity, sorting speed and degree of automation of the equipment. When selecting, it is necessary to consider the material processing volume, sorting efficiency and continuous working ability of the equipment.

c. Equipment specifications and models: Select the appropriate eddy current sorter specifications and models according to the use scenarios and requirements. For example, portable equipment is suitable for off-site detection or small-scale production, while desktop equipment is more suitable for on-site detection or large-scale production.

8. Technical features and advantages

a. Eddy current effect: Eddy current separators use eddy current effect to separate metals from non-metals. Understanding the magnetic field strength, frequency and principle of eddy current generation of the equipment will help to better select and use the equipment.

b. Automation and intelligence: Modern eddy current separators are usually equipped with automatic control systems and intelligent detection functions, which can improve the accuracy and efficiency of sorting. When choosing, you can consider the degree of automation and intelligence of the equipment.

9. After-sales service and support

a. Supplier reputation: Choose suppliers with good reputation and reputation to ensure the quality of equipment and after-sales service.

b. After-sales service: Understand the after-sales service content of the supplier, such as equipment installation, commissioning, training, maintenance, etc. Good after-sales service can reduce the risk and cost during the use of the equipment.

c. Technical support: Eddy current separators are high-tech equipment and require professional technical support. Choosing suppliers who can provide comprehensive technical support will help solve problems encountered during the use of the equipment.

10. Price and cost performance

a. Equipment price: The price of eddy current separator varies according to factors such as brand, model, and configuration. When choosing, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as equipment price, performance, and quality, and choose products with high cost performance.

b. Operating cost: In addition to the equipment price, it is also necessary to consider the operating cost of the equipment, such as energy consumption and maintenance costs. Choosing low-energy consumption and easy-to-maintain equipment can help reduce operating costs.

It can be seen that when choosing an eddy current separator, it is necessary to first clarify the characteristics of the sorted materials and the sorting goals to determine the specifications and performance of the required equipment. Precision and efficiency are the two key indicators for selecting eddy current separators. High precision can ensure high metal purity, and high efficiency means large processing volume and fast production speed. In addition, understanding the working principle and magnetic field characteristics of eddy current separators will help to choose equipment that is more suitable for your needs. At the same time, it is also very important to examine the supplier's after-sales service system. Good after-sales service can ensure that the equipment is maintained and supported in a timely and effective manner during use. Finally, on the premise of meeting the needs, the equipment price, operating cost, and service life should be comprehensively considered to select a cost-effective eddy current separator. By comprehensively considering these factors, we can ensure that the selected equipment not only meets the actual needs, but also has good performance and cost-effectiveness.

PS: When choosing an eddy current separator, you need to consider the usage scenarios and needs, equipment performance and specifications, technical features and advantages, after-sales service and support, and price and cost-effectiveness. By comprehensively evaluating these factors, we can ensure that the selected equipment can meet production needs and have good performance.
