Magnetic Separators for Impurity Removal

Magnetic separators are industrial devices designed to extract ferromagnetic contaminants from various materials, ensuring product purity and protecting downstream equipment. They utilize magnetic fields (permanent or electromagnets) to attract and separate metal particles from non-magnetic substances like plastics, grains, or liquids. Key types include drum separators,overband magnets, and high-intensity roll separators, each tailored for specific material flows and contamination levels.

§ . High-Intensity Roll Separators:

Field Strength: Up to 15,000 Gauss; handles particles <3mm (e.g., rare earth mineral processing)

Common Features:

Power: 0.37–15 kW; Cooling: Natural/oil cooling for electromagnets

Materials: Stainless steel (304/316), wear-resistant coatings, and food-grade epoxy for hygiene-sensitive applications


Product Grades

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

High-Performance Grade: Precision separators with adjustable fields for fine particles (e.g., high-intensity roll separators)

Sanitary Grade: Food/pharmaceutical-compliant designs with easy-clean surfaces (e.g., magnetic grate separators)


Applications

Mining/Recycling : Iron ore beneficiation, scrap metal recovery (removes tramp iron)

Food Processing: Metal contaminant removal from grains, liquids (e.g., magnetic conveyor belts)

Manufacturing: Coolant purification in machining (e.g., magnetic separator for grinding fluids)

Chemicals/Pharma: Powder purification (e.g., GMP-certified magnetic filters)


FAQs

How to choose between wet and dry separators?

Wet types suit slurries (e.g., mining); dry types handle powders/bulk materials (e.g., grain processing)

Maintenance requirements?

Regular cleaning of magnetic surfaces; self-cleaning models reduce downtime

Can separators handle high temperatures?

Oil-cooled electromagnets tolerate ≤150°C; standard models ≤80°C

Field strength vs. cost?

Higher Gauss improves fine-particle recovery but increases energy/equipment costs

Customization options?

Drum sizes, coatings, and sanitary designs available (lead time: 10–30 days)
