Special edition Eddy-Current separator for IFAT
Non-stick feeder module improves fine non-ferrous separation from IBA flows Goudsmit Magnetics is producing a black edition of the EddyFines® 38HI eddy current separator specially for IFAT 2018. This updated separator has a non-stick feeder module that further improves non-ferrous separation from IBA (Incinerator Bottom Ash) flows. For the black edition, the magnetic drum separator with vibratory feeder has been replaced by a non-stick feeder module with integrated 1800 or 3000 gauss head roller magnetic separator. Owing to the moist, cement-like product consistency of, in particular, incinerator slags, the use of a magnetic drum separator led to uneven distribution and sticking on and in the vibratory feeder trough and in the shell of the magnetic drum separator. This resulted in poorer process control and poorer separation results. In the improved version, the feeder module is fed with a mono-layer, resulting in perfect distribution over the width of the belt. Then the product is turned over, producing a looser consistency, which allows the
