First, we need to understand the working principle of a high-voltage separator. Understanding this principle can easily solve many problems.
A high-voltage electrostatic separator, also known as a high-voltage electric separator, uses differences in the electrical properties of materials within a high-voltage electric field to achieve separation. When materials are carried into the high-voltage field by a rotating drum under the action of corona electrodes, they are subjected to various forces, including electric field forces, centrifugal forces, and gravity. Due to the varying electrical properties and forces acting on the materials, their trajectories vary, thus separating metal and non-metal mixtures.
