Abstract
A system for separating electrical conducting components from mixtures such as scrap and trash, particularly aluminum, copper and stainless steel materials, since magnetic materials are readily removed by simple magnets. A polyphase induction motor connected with capacitors for each phase for continuous operation under resonant conditions. A conveyor system for moving the mixture across the motor along a path perpendicular or oblique to the axis of the motor, with the motor intermittently loaded to move the randomly arriving electrical conducting components out of the remainder of the mixture.
