Italy Launches New-generation Eddy Current Separator for High-precision Plastic Recycling

2026-06-13

Famous Italian magnetic separation equipment manufacturer Gauss Magneti officially launched the ECSE-HF high-frequency eddy current separator at the June Equiplast Exhibition in Spain, targeting the industry pain point of separating tiny non-ferrous metal impurities in plastic recycling. Equipped with high-frequency alternating magnetic field and intelligent identification algorithm, the new model can precisely remove tiny aluminum, copper and zinc impurities from PET and HDPE plastic fragments, boosting the sorting purity up to 99.97%. It is widely applicable to food-grade plastic regeneration, packaging material recycling and e-waste dismantling scenarios. Matched with rotary grate magnets and permanent drawer grate magnets, it can form a complete full-link iron removal and sorting production line. The new product features low maintenance, high stability and low energy consumption, winning more than 30 initial orders from European plastic recycling factories, with a high unit market value in the European market.

In June, the Luleå University of Technology in Sweden released a groundbreaking technological achievement, realizing the world’s first integrated combination of flotation and magnetic separation in a single system, which can process mine tailings and spent lithium battery black powder simultaneously. The innovative technology embeds an adjustable electromagnetic magnetic circuit inside the flotation tank, selectively adsorbing magnetic minerals such as iron, cobalt and nickel through magnetic field regulation, greatly reducing reliance on chemical agents. Industrial test data shows that chemical consumption is cut by 30%, while the recovery rate of lithium, cobalt and nickel increases by 8%–12%. The technology perfectly supports the deep purification of dry powder electromagnetic separators and slurry electromagnetic separators in the post-process stage. At present, the university has cooperated with leading Nordic battery recycling enterprises to build a pilot production line, which is scheduled to be officially industrialized in 2027, bringing huge equipment procurement demand to the global magnetic separation industry.
