Environmental Magnetic Separators

Environmental magnetic separators are specialized devices designed to remove ferrous and weakly magnetic contaminants from waste streams, water, and recycled materials, supporting sustainability and pollution control. These systems leverage permanent magnets (e.g., NdFeB) or electromagnets to extract metals from industrial effluents, municipal waste, and mining tailings, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and reducing ecological harm. Key types include overband magnets, wet drum separators, and magnetic filtration systems, each optimized for specific waste processing needs.

Product Specifications

Types & Key Metrics:

Overband Magnets:

Belt Width: 300–2000 mm; Field Strength: 70–150 mT; ideal for conveyor-based waste sorting (e.g., municipal solid waste)

Wet Drum Separators:

Capacity: 1–200 t/h; Magnetic Intensity: 100–600 mT; used for mining tailings and water treatment (e.g., CTB series with 150–400 mT fields)

Magnetic Filters:

Flow Rate: Customizable; Field Strength: Up to 12,000 Gauss; removes fine iron particles from liquids (e.g., chemical effluents)

Materials & Design:

Housing: 304/316L stainless steel for corrosion resistance

Cooling: Oil-cooled electromagnets for high-temperature operations (up to 350°C)


Product Grades

Standard Grade: For general waste sorting (e.g., overband magnets in recycling plants)

High-Intensity Grade: Targets fine particles in mining/water treatment (e.g., wet drum separators with 600 mT fields)

Sanitary Grade: Hygienic designs for food/pharmaceutical waste (e.g., magnetic grates with FDA-compliant coatings)


Applications

Waste Recycling: Recovers ferrous metals from municipal waste and e-waste

Water Treatment: Removes heavy metals and magnetic pollutants in industrial/mine wastewater

Mining: Processes tailings to recover iron ore and reduce environmental impact

Industrial Effluents: Purifies chemicals and plastics manufacturing streams


FAQs

How to choose between wet and dry separators?

Wet types suit slurries (e.g., mining tailings); dry types handle bulk waste (e.g., conveyor belts)

Maintenance requirements?

Self-cleaning models reduce downtime; manual cleaning needed for filters and drum surfaces

Can separators handle corrosive fluids?

316L stainless steel housings resist acids/alkalis in chemical waste

Field strength vs. energy efficiency?

Higher Gauss improves recovery but increases power use; adjustable electromagnets optimize balance

Regulatory compliance?

Sanitary models meet FDA/HACCP standards; mining separators align with ISO environmental protocols
