hamos KWS

Separating metal from plastic using electrostatic separation

hamos KWS electrostatic separator is used for the dry separation of metals from plastics and other non-conductive materials. Even the finest metal particles smaller than 0.1 mm can be separated by electrostatic separation.

This is a particularly economical way of recovering valuable metals, separating them or cleaning plastics before further processing of metal parts using electrostatic separation.

Category HAMOS

To achieve an optimum separation result, the plastic mixtures to be separated must be as follows:

Conductor/non-conductor mixture (e.g. metal and plastic)
Completely digested material (no material composites)
Dry material (ideal surface moisture less than 0.2 %)
Largely dust-free material
Particle size from 100 μm to max. 8 mm

Not sure whether your material is suitable for electrostatic separation? Send us a material sample of approx. 5 kg after consultation. We will use it to demonstrate the performance of our electrostatic separators.

We will show you what metal yield and throughput you can achieve with an electrostatic separator for your material. Based on these separation results, you will receive our test report and our offer.
