Eddy current separator SWP
The SWP type eddy current separator equipped with a drum separator is designed for automatic separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from bulk or crushed materials. The SWP separator recovers ferrous metals and valuable non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, magnesium, zinc and silver with high efficiency. In addition, the separator cleans secondary raw materials such as plastics and glass from ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
The SWP non-ferrous metal separator is reliable, very robust and designed for continuous operation. The separator is characterized by high metal separation efficiency. The powerful neodymium permanent magnets used in the polar wheel have high coercivity, which makes them difficult to demagnetize. Therefore, the SWP separator has a long service life.

Working principle of the eddy current separator
The operation of the eddy current separator is based on the principle of magnetic induction. A magnetic rotor rotating at high speed creates a high frequency alternating magnetic field that induces strong eddy currents in metals. Due to the flow of current in non-ferrous metals, a secondary magnetic field is created that opposes the magnetic field of the rotor. The interaction of these fields leads to the creation of the Lorentz repulsive force, which counteracts the force of gravity. The resultant force pushes the metal out of the stream of transported material. The SWP-26B separator is characterized by a high-frequency magnetic field ensuring the highest separation efficiency of very fine metals such as aluminium, copper, magnesium, zinc and silver.

Why choose our eddy current separators?
Eddy current separators from Magnetix are proven solutions manufactured for over 25 years for customers throughout Europe. The devices are manufactured entirely in Poland, in a modern production plant located in the Toruń Technology Park. The highest quality materials and components of our own production used in the separators guarantee high efficiency and reliability.
SWP separators are available in many variants, adapted to the efficiency, type of waste, granulation and local operating conditions. Magnetix devices are each time selected for the type of raw material and the type of metals that need to be separated in order to obtain the highest possible efficiency and effectiveness of metal recovery. The customer receives a tailor-made device, thanks to which he can achieve high metal separation efficiency, and thus the expected economic effect and quick return on investment.
Eddy current separators are powered and controlled via a control cabinet developed and manufactured by Magnetix. Modern drive systems, power supply and control systems consume up to 30% less electricity compared to competitive solutions, which has measurable benefits in the annual energy balance. The separator has a special C-type frame, enabling very quick replacement of the conveyor belt and other separator components, which is very important in plants with continuous operation, where longer downtime is unacceptable.
Producer – Magnetix Sp. z o. o. guarantees efficient and fast warranty and post-warranty service throughout Europe and the availability of all spare and consumable parts for a minimum period of 10 years of operation.
