High-Voltage Electrostatic Separator For Aluminum Plastic copper

An electrostatic separator is an advanced piece of equipment that achieves high-precision sorting based on differences in material conductivity. It is widely used in the separation of aluminium and plastic, copper and plastic, and the fine sorting of various complex mixed materials.

The equipment operates within a high-voltage, sealed electric field environment. Through corona discharge and electrostatic adsorption, it achieves efficient separation of materials with different conductivity levels. It is particularly suitable for the recycling and processing of aluminium-plastic composites, shredded wire and cable, and electronic waste.

Electrostatic separators have a processing capacity ranging from 200 to 500 kg/h, with power ratings varying between 3.6 and 5.5 kW. In actual production, they are frequently employed as high-precision sorting equipment, significantly enhancing the purity of aluminium-plastic and copper-plastic separation, thereby increasing the economic and recycling value of the recovered materials.

applications of the Electrostatic sorting machine

• Aluminium-plastic separation: aluminium-plastic composite panels, flexible packaging, aluminium-plastic tablet packaging, bottle caps, aluminium-plastic electrical wires, etc.
• Copper-plastic separation: electrical wires and cables, scrap circuit boards, copper-plastic pipes and offcuts.
• Industrial recycling: fine sorting of electronic waste.
• Mineral and powder processing: metal ore sorting, fly ash decarbonisation, and metal recovery from furnace slag.
• Agricultural and light industrial sorting: separation of tea leaves from tea stems, flaxseed kernels from husks, and hair impurities.
• Aggregate and light waste sorting: separation of plastic from sand.

Operation Principle of electrostatic sorter

The electrostatic separator utilises the differences in electrical conductivity between various materials, causing them to behave differently under the influence of a high-voltage electric field.

• When the mixed material enters the electric field, the more conductive metal particles are rapidly attracted to the electrodes and deflected towards the metal collection area.
• Non-conductive materials, meanwhile, are guided by gravity and mechanical conveyance into the discharge system on the opposite side, thereby achieving highly efficient separation.

By adjusting the voltage, electrode spacing and feed rate, the system can adapt to the characteristics of different materials, ensuring stable and controllable sorting results.
