Electrostatic separators

Electrostatic separators work using the electrostatic effect and this enables the separation of  diverse mixed materials. Differences in conductivity enable separation of extremely fine metal parts from plastics and other non-conductive materials, while the tribo-electric effect enables entirely different mixtures of plastics to be electrostatically separated. Mixed plastics waste can be separated into its individual components, as well as separating undesired plastic contamination. 

 Other kinds of conductive materials like wood, cardboard and conductive rubber can also be separated.
