About Used Magnetic & Eddy-Current Separators

Magnetic and eddy-current separators remove metal contamination from recycling streams to protect downstream equipment and produce clean polymer. Overband magnets and magnetic head pulleys capture ferrous metals, while eddy-current separators use a rapidly rotating magnetic rotor to repel and eject non-ferrous metals like aluminum. These separators are standard in plastics recycling, MRFs, and scrap processing.

When buying a used magnetic or eddy-current separator, evaluate belt width, throughput, and the metal types and sizes to be removed. Meadoworks sources magnetic and eddy-current separators for recyclers. Contact us at 800-323-0307.

Common Applications

Ferrous metal removal
Aluminum/non-ferrous removal
MRF & recycling lines
Scrap processing
Pre-granulation protection

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a magnetic and an eddy-current separator?

Magnetic separators (overband magnets, magnetic pulleys) capture ferrous (iron/steel) metals. Eddy-current separators use a fast-spinning magnetic rotor to induce currents in non-ferrous metals like aluminum and physically eject them from the stream.
