hamos KWS electrostatic separator is used for the dry separation of metals and non-conductive materials. Even the finest metal particles smaller than 0.1 mm can be separated by electrostatic separation.
This makes it possible in a particularly economical way,- to recover valuable metals, to separate them or to clean plastics before further processing of metal parts with the aid of electrostatic separation.
To achieve an optimum separation result, the material mixtures to be separated must be as follows:
You are not sure whether your material is suitable for electrostatic separation? Send us a material sample of approx. 5 kg after consultation.
This will demonstrate the performance of our electrostatic separators.
We will show you what metal yield and throughputs you can achieve with an electrostatic separator for your material. Based on these separation results, you will receive our test report and quotation.
The hamos KWS electrostatic separator separates conductive products from non-conductors.
The metal mixture to be separated is fed via a vibratory feeder onto a rotating, grounded metal roller and transported to the area of a corona electrode.
There, the material mixture is electrostatically charged by high voltage of up to 35,000 volts.
Conductive materials (metals) then very quickly release their charge to the roller and are thrown off by the rotating motion. Non-conductors, on the other hand, lose their charge only very slowly, remain attached to the surface of the metal roller and are finally brushed off. The material mixture is thus separated by electrostatic separation into a conductor and a non-conductor fraction.
Based on the principle of charging, these separators are also called corona roll separators.
