AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Existing technologies lack efficient methods for recycling permanent magnets from wind turbine generator components, particularly direct-drive generators, which are large and require safe, automated, and scalable disassembly.

⚗Method used

A separation system that includes a transport system to handle magnetic elements, a separation device to automatically separate permanent magnet blocks from their enclosures or supports, and a collection system to recycle individual components, utilizing actuators and retaining devices for efficient processing.

🎯Benefits of technology

Enables safe, automated, and high-throughput recycling of permanent magnets, allowing for large-scale processing of up to 100 magnetic elements per hour, improving worker safety and facilitating the recycling of both magnet blocks and enclosure components.

Abstract

A separation system is provided configured to process magnetic elements (10) extracted from wind turbine generator components. Each magnetic element (10) comprises at least one permanent magnet block (15) and an enclosure (11, 17) or support. The separation system (100) comprises a transport system (50) configured to transport the magnetic elements (10) to a separation device (20), and a separation device (20) configured to separate at least one permanent magnet block (15) of the magnetic element (10) from the enclosure (11, 17) or support. The separation system (100) is configured to receive multiple magnetic elements (10) and process them automatically and continuously.
