Abstract (en)

[origin: US6318558B1] The invention relates for separating different electrically conductive particles, especially of waste materials, by means of an eddy-current separation, whereby the supplied particles to be separated are cooled. The invention also relates to an eddy-current separator provided for carrying out said method. The separator has a rotational magnet system and a transport system for guiding the particles to be separated along the magnet system. A cooling chamber through which the particles are guided is located immediately upstream from the magnet system. The conductivity of the non-iron metallic particles is increased by cooling thus allowing differential separation of these materials.
