For dependable efficient separation of aluminum cans and other non-ferrous metals from household or industrial waste, Walker offers eddy current separation equipment with a top grade of  rare-earth magnet material.

how eddy current separation works:

Eddy current separation is based on the use of a magnetic rotor with alternating polarity, spinning rapidly inside a non-metallic drum driven by a conveyor belt. As non-ferrous metals pass over the drum, the alternating magnetic field creates eddy currents in the non-ferrous metal particles repelling the material away from the conveyor. While other materials drop off at the end of the conveyor, the non-ferrous metals are propelled forward over a splitter for separation.
