10/02/2019 6:59 PM

Does anybody knows how many watt does somebody need in order to create an electrostatic separator ( copper to plastic ) how can estimate this? I know I need 30kv but how many watts?

You need to know the size of the particles, the weight, the throughput desired, then determine the area and strength of the field necessary...

the size of the particles is less then 1 cm and we produce 0,5-1kg per sec so ...how can i estimate the consumption of the power? one thing i could do is to try and see what effect i have, but is any mathematic equation that can i use ? thank you for your reply.

Are you separating copper and plastic? Are the pieces uniform in size? What types of plastic are involved? 1 cm would be quite large...you might instead focus on the difference in density for separation...
