- Commodity name: Eddy current separator
The eddy current sorter is a device that separates non-ferrous metal substances from non-metallic substances with precision. It is divided into three structures of high frequency multi-pole, eccentric and concentric.
Introduction:

Eddy current separator is a device that can accurately separate non-ferrous metal substances from non-metallic substances. There are two types of structures: concentric and eccentric. Huichuan mainly produces eccentric structure sorting machines, which are further divided into multipole and standard types according to the sorting requirements of different materials.

Huichuan eddy current separators have nearly 3,000 application cases all over the world, spreading across Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and America. They are convincing by virtue of their highly accurate separation efficiency and durability.

Technical advantages：
1. Eccentric structure+multi magnetic pole fusion technology, meeting different working conditions requirements, with a sorting rate of over 99%.
2. Intelligent lubrication system effectively avoids bearing damage caused by unstable oil injection, ensuring stable operation of the equipment.
3. Modular structural design, used to achieve rapid belt replacement.
4. After size classification, our equipment can highly accurately adapt to sortable materials with fine particle sizes (as fine as 0.3mm). For particles with a size of 0mm-5mm, the sorting accuracy can reach more than 85%, for particles with a size of 5mm-8mm, the sorting accuracy can reach more than 95%, and for particles with a size of more than 8mm, it can reach more than 99.5%.
Applicable materials:

Materials containing non-ferrous metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc and magnesium

Non ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, zinc, magnesium) will jump out along their conveying direction due to repulsive interactions; Realize separation from non-metallic substances such as glass, plastic, rubber, etc.

Application scenarios:

Following processes such as crushing, classification, and magnetic separation, the eddy current separator can recover clean, marketable metal mixtures containing aluminum, copper, zinc, brass, etc. Its applications span various non-ferrous metal recycling scenarios, including shredded waste, construction debris, municipal solid waste, packaging waste, incineration bottom ash, aluminum salt slag, e-waste, wood chips, glass, and foundry sand.

HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder ( Vertical Scrap Metal Hammer Mill)HUICHUAN Vertical Scrap Metal Shredder is a high-efficiency equipment in the field of metal scrap processing. Its core advantages lie in deep volume reduction, liberating material components, optimizing subsequent separation efficiency, while significantly reducing scrap transportation costs, providing key support for the metal recycling process. Its working principle is realized through three-stage precise processing:Upper Crushing Stage: The breakers in the upper part of the equipment's chamber first crush the material powerfully until the material size is reduced to the range that can enter the "gap between the milling rings and chamber liners", completing the initial rough processing.Middle Grinding and Rolling Stage: The material entering the gap is then subjected to "impact + grinding + rolling" combined processing by the milling rings, and finally converted into uniform fragments with high cleanliness, removing impurities and ensuring material consistency.Lower Discharge Stage: When the crushed material reaches the preset fineness, it will naturally agglomerate into balls and fall into the lower chamber, and the finished product is discharged quickly and stably by the discharge paddles. The final product of this equipment has two major characteristics: "high cleanliness" and "high bulk density", which is fully suitable for the subsequent transportation and recycling processing needs. At present, it is mainly used for processing the following metal scraps:Hardware scrap: Water pipe valves, water meters, etc.Aluminum scrap: Aluminum castings, aluminum profiles, used aluminum cans (UBC’s), etc.Steel scrap: Pre-shredded steel plates, metal drums, etc.

X-ray sorters emits rays through an X-ray source to penetrate ores. After the detector receives the signals, it converts them into electrical signals, which are then processed by AI algorithms to achieve separation. Different minerals have different degrees of X-ray attenuation due to differences in density and elemental composition, thus distinguishing ore types and grades.
