Abstract

The experimental study of conductor-insulation separation has been performed by means of a vibro-electrostatic separator. The separator consists of a vibratory feeder equipped with two plate electrodes. The separation tests were performed on a sample containing 50% Polyvinylchloride (PVC) and 50% aluminum. The influence of electric field strength and amplitude of conveying surface on the separation efficiency was investigated. The purity of PVC was 99.18±0.05% at the recovery of 93.11±0.91%. The purity of aluminum was 99.72±0.07% at the recovery of 90.65±0.79%.
