MEGANATIC SEPARATORS:

Magnetic separators make use of strong magnetic fields to separate magnetic particles (iron, ferrosilicon, steel, or other ferromagnetic particles) from less or non-magnetic materials. The magnetic fields are produced by electromagnets. Magnetic separators mainly consist of cylinders, the magnetic system, cells, and transmission parts. The magnetic system contains a closed magnetic circuit with stimulating copper coils. Other components of magnetic separators include plate magnets, magnetic grates, magnetic drums, magnetic pulleys, and magnetic traps. The magnetic separators are specially designed to filter and decontaminate the products, which pass through them, and also to prevent damage to the machines by metallic objects. The separators are available in various designs and sizes for diverse of applications.

Magnetic separators possess the following advantages: Unique design of magnetic system ensures high efficiency Low energy consumption results in reduction of operational cost Offers high reliability Extremely effective due to high magnetic strength Applications Magnetic separators serve mining, food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries and in pallet and tire recycling plants. They find application in industrial processing of liquids, slurries, gases, dry granular materials and powders. They are also applicable in iron removal from coal, nonmetals, and building materials. The over band magnetic separators are widely used in waste recycling for extraction of valuable materials and in process industries to improve the purity of the product and to prevent damage to the process equipment.

Round Pipe Separators (RPS) are actually plate magnets with a fabricated transition from a round pipe to the rectangular chute that contains the Plate Magnet. The RPS consists of an inlet transition to match the existing pipe or tubing, a neoprene deflector to deflect the product against the plate magnet then transitions back to the chute. The material flow must be stopped to clean the accumulated tramp metal from the plate magnet.

Hump Magnets are similar to the Round Pipe Separators0except Eriez provides the fabricated chute and two plate magnets instead of one. This extra plate effectively doubles the chances of collecting ferrous material. The Hump consists of a dogleg chute that allows the product stream to cascade from one magnetic plate to another as material moves through the dogleg. Units are available for pressure, vertical or horizontal pneumatic applications. The material flow must be stopped to clean each plate. Self-cleaning units are also available to cycle the plate magnet away from the flow so that a stripper may automatically remove the accumulated tramp metal contamination from the plates.

Drum Magnets Goudsmit drum magnets are suitable for bulk and recycling products. A magnetic drum is a stationary 180-degree magnet segment around which a stainless steel drum with scrapers runs. Iron particles are held on the drum and pulled to the bottom of the magnet. Scrapers will pull the iron particles from the magnetic field. Result is a clean separation between product and iron particles.
