Magnetic Separators

Description

Magnetic Separators are critical devices used in various industries to remove ferrous contaminants from materials such as minerals, chemicals, food, grains, plastics, and more. These separators ensure product purity and protect processing equipment from metal damage, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Working principle

Magnetic Separators use powerful, permanent magnets or electromagnetic coils to generate a magnetic field that attracts and holds ferrous particles. Materials pass over or through these magnetic fields during processing, separating metallic contaminants from non-metallic materials. The specific design of the separator (overband, drum, pulley, etc.) depends on the application and the nature of the material being processed.

Material Characteristics

Consider the type of material, its bulk density, moisture content, and particle size.

Volume of Material

Determine the throughput required to ensure the separator can handle your operational volume.

Contaminant Characteristics

Understand the type and size of ferrous contaminants present.

Installation Location

Assess where the separator will be installed in your processing line for optimal effectiveness.
