An [[Eddy Current Separator]] (ECS) is a machine that is used to separate and recover non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and brass from non-metallic material in a waste stream<ref name="ref1">[https://www.okay.co.uk/project/ecs/ Eddy Current Separators: [[OKAY Engineering]]]</ref>. Material is fed onto the conveyor of the separator, which moves it across the magnetic rotor, situated underneath, to cause in separation.
