Technocrat Automatic Electric Polished Electrostatic Separator, Shape : Rectangular

An Electrostatic Separator is a device used to separate particles based on their electrical charges. It leverages the principle that particles with different electrical properties (like conductivity or charge) respond differently when exposed to an electric field.
Working Principle :
Particles are first charged (positively or negatively) and then passed through an electric field. The field exerts a force on the charged particles, causing them to move in different trajectories depending on their charge.
Applications :

• Mineral Processing: Separating valuable minerals from waste materials.
• Recycling: Sorting mixed waste streams, such as separating metals from plastics.
• Pollution Control: Removing particles from industrial emissions.

Types :

• High Tension Roll Separators: Used for fine particle separation.
• Plate Separators: Suitable for larger particles.

Advantages :

• Efficient at separating fine particles.
• Environmentally friendly, as it doesn’t require water or chemicals.

Limitations :

• Not effective for all materials, especially those with similar electrical properties.
• Requires precise control of operating conditions for optimal performance.

Electrostatic separators are valuable tools in industries where material separation is crucial, offering a clean and efficient method of sorting.
