Abstract
An apparatus for use in separation and recovery of pieces of different materials according to the difference in electric conductivity of each kind of materials, by utilizing the interaction between a magnetic field, induced by the eddy current and an external magnetic field. The separating capability of the apparatus of the type is largely dependent upon the shape of pieces being separated as well as the difference in electric conductivity between the pieces of different materials. According to the apparatus of the present invention, samples to be separated are rolled into a flat shape, then subjected to the screening, followed by their passing through a plurality of rotating magnetic fields whose intensities are being increased one by one, whereby the sample pieces are separated effectively according to their electric conductivity, and thus recovered.
