- 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.

HUICHUAN UBC Aluminum Can Recycling Production Line SolutionHUICHUAN has deep expertise in the renewable resources equipment sector, focusing on the core crushing and sorting processes of UBC (used aluminum beverage cans). We provide customized solutions ranging from "equipment customization to whole-line construction," enabling efficient processing of pre-cleaned, dried loose cans or baled can blocks. Our solution minimizes aluminum loss to the greatest extent, accurately converting used aluminum cans into high-value recycled aluminum materials.I. Core Process: 5-Step Precision Handling to Maximize Aluminum Recovery ValueFor pre-processed used aluminum cans (either pre-cleaned, dried loose cans or baled blocks), we achieve efficient crushing and zero-waste sorting through a combination of customized equipmentCustom Dual-Shaft Shredder: Initial Size Reduction for Subsequent ProcessesIf the raw material is baled aluminum can blocks, they first enter the HUICHUAN custom dual-shaft shredder. Designed with "high torque and low speed," this shredder easily breaks down high-density bales into loose chunks of 5-10cm, preventing damage to subsequent equipment due to excessive hardness and preparing for fine crushing. If the raw material is pre-cleaned and dried loose cans, this step can be skipped directly to proceed to the next stage. 2. Vertical/Horizontal Crusher: Fine Crushing and Impurity SeparationThe material is fed into the HUICHUAN custom vertical or horizontal crusher (selected based on daily processing capacity). Targeting the structural characteristics of beverage cans—"aluminum body, iron lid, and plastic label"—a dedicated set of blades crushes the cans into uniform fragments of 1-3cm. During crushing, aluminum from the can body is initially separated from iron lids and plastic labels. Meanwhile, a built-in impurity screen filters out a small number of uncrushed large impurities. 3. Shaftless Roller Screen: Classification Screening to Optimize Sorting ConditionsThe crushed mixed fragments are conveyed to the shaftless roller screen. Using screens with different aperture sizes, the material is classified into two categories: "qualified aluminum fragments" and "fine impurities (e.g., sand and mud)." Qualified aluminum fragments move to the subsequent sorting process, while fine impurities are discharged directly—preventing blockages in sorting equipment and ensuring stable operation of the sorting system 4. Eddy Current Magnetic Separation Integrated Machine: Precise Separation of Aluminum and Metal ImpuritiesThe classified qualified material enters the HUICHUAN custom Eddy Current Magnetic Separation Integrated Machine—an upgraded all-in-one device that combines eddy current separation (for aluminum) and magnetic adsorption (for fine iron impurities) in a single unit, realizing "dual-function in one machine."For aluminum separation: It generates an eddy current effect through a high-frequency alternating magnetic field, applying a "repulsive force" to aluminum fragments to achieve instant separation from iron lids and other metal impurities.For fine iron removal: Equipped with a built-in high-performance neodymium magnet module, it adsorbs tiny iron particles (≤1mm) that are easily missed by conventional separators, eliminating hidden iron impurities in aluminum materials.Performance highlights: Sorting accuracy reaches over 99.7% (0.2% higher than single eddy current separators), and sorting efficiency is 25% higher than that of conventional equipment—ensuring no loss of core aluminum material and zero iron contamination. 5. Aluminum Dust Separation: Capturing Fine Powder to Eliminate WasteA dedicated aluminum dust separation step is added: using a combination of negative pressure suction and fine filters, aluminum fines (high-value materials easily overlooked) generated during crushing and sorting are accurately collected. This prevents waste caused by discharge along with dust or impurities. This step increases the overall aluminum recovery rate by an additional 1.2-1.5 percentage points, ensuring every piece of aluminum resource is monetized.II.
