Abstract
Eddy current separation apparatus for separating particles from a particle stream. The eddy current separation apparatus comprises a separator drum adapted to create a first particle fraction and a second particle fraction, a feeding device upstream of the separator drum for supplying particles to the separator drum, and a splitter element provided downstream of the separator drum for splitting the respective fractions. The eddy current separation apparatus further comprises a sensor device arranged for detecting particles, and counting and/or detecting material properties of the detected particles, from at least part of one of the particle fractions. The eddy current separation apparatus is configured to adjust, in use, a position and/or orientation of the splitter element with respect to the separator drum and/or a transporting velocity of the feeding device in dependence of a signal from the sensor device based on a counted number and/or material properties of the detected particles.
