Aluminum, copper, and brass are non-ferrous and normally require an eddy current separator.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Which magnetic separator type is suitable for plastic recycling?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Overband magnets are often used above conveyors to remove tramp iron from mixed plastics. Magnetic drums or pulleys can be added when continuous discharge and compact installation are required.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What affects separation performance?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Key factors include magnet strength, belt speed, burden depth, material particle size, installation height, and how evenly the material is spread across the conveyor.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “Does a magnetic separator remove stainless steel?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “It depends on the grade. Magnetic ferritic and martensitic (400-series) stainless responds to the field, but non-magnetic austenitic (300-series) stainless is largely invisible to a standard magnetic separator and needs eddy current or sensor-based sorting.” } }, { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “How do burden depth and installation height affect capture?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “Magnetic force drops sharply with distance, so the separator must sit close enough for its field to reach the bottom of the material layer. A deep or uneven burden, or a magnet mounted too high, lets small ferrous pieces slip through. A shallow, evenly spread stream at the correct gap gives the most reliable capture.” } } ] } ] }
