Technical specifications
SGM Magnetics’ Air Classifiers are high-performance gravity-based separation systems designed to process Eddy Current Separator (ECS) waste, optimizing the classification of light and heavy fractions. These closed-loop systems efficiently remove soft light contaminants (such as foam, textiles, and dust) while concentrating valuable metals and heavy materials (such as rubber, heavy plastic, and wood), ensuring a higher purity output for downstream processing.
Key Benefits of SGM Air Classifiers
✅ Improved Material Purity – Enhances the efficiency of sensor-based separators and boosts the quality of Zurik and copper wire recovery
✅ Higher Efficiency – Concentrates valuable metals in the heavy fraction, representing over 60% of ECS waste weight but less than 50% in volume
✅ Optimized Separation – Multi-stage processing for more effective classification of waste streams
✅ Durable & Field-Proven – Designed for high wear resistance with Hardox® 400 components
SGM offers two Air Classifier models, designed to accommodate different ASR (Auto Shredder Residue) sizes:
- ACS Model – For medium ASR fractions (20mm – 40mm)
- ACL Model – For large ASR fractions (40mm – 100mm)
By integrating SGM Air Classifiers into your recycling process after the ECS and before sensor-based separation, you achieve better material presentation, improved separation efficiency, and greater overall recovery yields.
