As we are BAS, we continue to make a difference in the industry with our innovative and eco-friendly separation technologies. Most recently, the BAS BECS-24-EC-WD Model Eddy Current Non-Ferrous Metal Separator, specially commissioned for the aluminum recycling sector in Turkey. It delivers outstanding performance with a specified feed particle size range and capacity of 8 tph and ferrous metal pre-separation magnetic drum (Figure 1).
The plant is designed as a hybrid, and the feed material consists mostly of soft aluminum scrap. For aluminum separation, it is essential that the aluminum particles targeted for beneficiation are liberated as much as possible from other waste materials. Considering the economic scale of the recycling plant to be implemented, the most optimal particle size should be determined and liberated. Eddy current separators must operate within narrow particle size ranges to achieve full efficiency. Therefore, before feeding the material into the relevant eddy current separators, efficient screens should be used to minimize the differences between the coarsest and finest particle sizes.

Today, this powerful physical principle lies at the core of BAS ECS Eddy Current Non-Ferrous Metal Separators, offering unmatched efficiency. These machines operate by inducing eddy currents in metals. According to Faraday’s Law, related forces perpendicular to the magnetic field are generated. When the magnetic field interacts with a conductive material, the induced forces (eddy currents) generate currents within the material, which vary depending on its conductivity. The BAS ECS Eddy Current Non-Ferrous Metal Separators (Eddy Current Non-Ferrous Metal Separators – BAS®) with a specially designed magnetic field at drum magnetic separator first. As non-ferrous metals approach the magnetic field, they are repelled and directed into a designated collection chute, while inert materials fall freely into another chute (Watch the video). Metals with different conductivities generate varying eddy currents and are ejected at different distances. Collectors are strategically placed along these distances to separate the valuable non-ferrous metals from the primary material. This technique is increasingly used in the recycling industry because it enables the highly selective recovery of valuable metals.
