I. Concept
A non-ferrous metal separator is a magnetic separation equipment used for continuously recovering copper, aluminum, zinc, and other non-ferrous metals in granular and lump form. It is suitable for selecting copper and aluminum from industrial waste and construction waste, as well as for the treatment of domestic waste and pollutants. It is also used in material handling during non-ferrous metal processing, copper, aluminum, and zinc recovery from shredded auto parts, electronic waste recycling, and other related copper and aluminum recycling industries. Its internal structure is constructed with advanced technology, featuring a magnetic system made of strong neodymium iron boron permanent magnets, which boasts strong magnetic field, energy-saving, easy maintenance, and convenient use.
II. Main Structure and Working Principle
1. Main Structure: The machine is mainly composed of an external drum, eccentric roller, magnetic drum driving motor, reducer, idle roller, integrated ring belt, vibrating screen, and frame. 2. Working Principle: Material is fed from the vibrating screen, transported to the magnetic drum by the belt. The internal magnetic drum rotates at high speed. Conductors (non-ferrous metals) in the material generate induced current in the high-frequency alternating magnetic field, creating a magnetic field opposite in direction to the original field. This field exerts a strong repulsive force on the non-ferrous metals, causing them to be instantaneously ejected from the material, achieving the separation purpose.

4. Installation and Commissioning
1. The magnetic separator is composed of parts such as the driving unit, drum, and vibration feeder. 2. The magnetic separator should be installed on a flat and sturdy concrete or steel foundation. Ensure the stability of the support feet and even force distribution to prevent frame deformation due to uneven ground. 3. Check if the motor is running normally and in the correct direction. 4. Verify that the voltage is normal, insulation is good, and the magnetic separator is grounded. 5. Inspect for any foreign objects that may obstruct the drum's operation, and remove them before starting the motor. 6. Adjust the magnetic system bias angle based on the iron removal effect to achieve the ideal iron removal performance.
V. Operating Procedures
Power on to ensure the machine is properly powered with no alarms. Manual Mode: 1. Use the touch screen to activate the internal magnetic roller, and rotate the speed button to gradually increase the roller speed. 2. Once the internal magnetic roller reaches the required speed, start the belt drive motor. 3. After the belt operates normally, start the vibration sieve. 4. Only feed material after the vibration sieve stabilizes. Automatic Mode: 1. Tap "Start Automatic" on the touch screen. 2. Wait for the machine to automatically start the internal magnetic roller, belt, and vibration sieve before feeding. After the equipment is turned on, the internal magnetic roller operates at high speed. Conductors (non-ferrous metals) in the material produce induced currents in the high-frequency alternating magnetic field, creating a magnetic field opposite in direction to the original field, exerting a strong repulsive force on the non-ferrous metals, which are instantaneously ejected from the material, achieving the separation goal.
6. Cautionary Notes and Consumable Parts
1. The reducer should be lubricated again after 400 hours of operation, with subsequent oil change intervals of approximately 4,000 hours. 2. Ensure sufficient lubricant is retained in the reducer housing and check it regularly. 3. There are two oil filling nozzles at each end of the magnetic roller. Add high-speed grease daily during machine operation! 4. Repair or replace the belt promptly if damage is found during use. 5. Before equipment operation, ensure the feet are stable and even to prevent equipment misalignment and safety hazards. 6. If abnormal phenomena such as smoking, odors, or abnormal working current and voltage are detected during operation, disconnect the power immediately for inspection. Only resume operation after identifying the cause and eliminating the fault. 7. Regularly check for loose fasteners after the equipment is in normal operation, and tighten them if necessary. 8. Replace the new oil seal and replenish grease if rubber aging leads to reduced sealing and minor oil leakage.
