Electrostatic separators EBS (corona)

The product is separated into the components, depending on the electro-conductivity, in the combined field of corona discharge with the electrostatic field.
The input product is fed on the receiving electrode, which rotates and is under a positive potential.
In the inter-electrode space all particles are charged with negative ions of air. Conductive particles, exiting the corona discharge zone, are recharged, take the sign of the receiving electrode’s charge and are repelled from it.
The deflecting electrode, having the same potential as the corona electrode, creates an uneven field, facilitates an earlier deviation of electro-conductive fraction from the receiving electrode increasing the efficiency of separation into the conducting and non-conducting products. Non-conductive particles, having negative charge, are held on the drum and removed by the cleaning roller.
