MAGNETIC SEPARATORS

INTRODUCTION
Magnetic separation is a process in which
magnetically susceptible material is
extracted from a mixture using a magnetic
force. This separation technique can be
useful in mining iron as it is attracted to a
magnet.
Magnetic separators are used to separate
either valuable minerals from non-magnetic
gangue, e.g. magnetite from quartz, or
magnetic contaminants

A magnetic separator is a device that uses a

magnet to remove impurities and other magnetic
materials from metal.
Magnetic separators can be used before, during,
and after production of a material and can be
adjusted to attract different types of magnetic
materials at varying levels of intensity .
Magnetic separators are used for a wide variety of
applications, though their use is almost always
industrial in nature.
Magnetic separators can be either ferromagnetic or
paramagnetic and can range in size from a table
top version to a large, heavy drum that is used in
recycling and other manufacturing applications.

Process
Magnetic separation is a filtration process
in which ferromagnetic or paramagnetic
particles are removed from a process line.
The process is achieved by applying an
electrical current to a wire mesh or matrix,
thereby inducing a magnetic field. When a
solution or gas is passed through the
mesh, any magnetic particles are attracted
to the focus of the magnetic field and are
filtered out of the flow.

A magnetic separator consists of a powerful

magnet that is either laid down or suspended
from a ceiling or device.
Materials can be passed over a table top
magnetic separator while suspended magnetic
separators often dangle above a material in order
to extract its impurities.
Magnetic separators can also be cylinders that
objects are passed through.
The material that a magnetic separator purifies
can be in the form of parts, a finished product, or
even liquid metal.

There are five main magnetic separation

component types:
Magnetic grates
Plate magnets
Magnetic traps
Magnetic drums
Magnetic pulleys

Why Magnetic Separators

used in Industries?

Magnetic Separators are used to protect

vital process equipment downstream from
damage while it produces a clean
separated final product.
This type of equipment includes primary
jaw crushers, cone crushers , hammer
mills and other tertiary crushers.
At the same time it can effectively prevent
long sharp metal shards from cutting,
ripping or tearing conveyor belts.

They are most commonly used to

separate tramp iron, also known as
unwanted or damaged metal and
ferrous impurities, from nonmagnetic
materials conveyed in bulk form.
These ferrous impurities originate from
land fill or excavating machinery used
to mine, extract, drill or recover raw
material.

Applications

Magnetic separators are often used for industrial

purposes such as recycling and manufacturing.
They are also found in scientific laboratories that
often require metallic materials that are free of
impurities (often the case in chemistry).
In this case, the magnetic separator is usually a
cylinder or flask that prevents crosscontamination between two different substances
by forcing either all or some of the magnetic
materials from one substance into a separate
container.

For the removal of tramp iron in coarse

and intermediate- crushing circuits, as
a protection to the crushing machinery.
For the concentration of magnetite
ores.
For the concentration of iron ore other
than magnetite, after preliminary
conversion of iron minerals to artificial
magnetite by suitable Roasting.
For the removal of small quantities of
iron ore minerals from Ceramic raw
materials.

Advantages

Magnetic separators are often powerful,

portable, and can be adjusted to
remove varying types of magnetic
materials from a liquid or solid.
They are most effective when used on a
liquid, although the removal of solid
impurities is also possible.
Magnetic separators are quite versatile
and incredibly simple in design.

In fact, a basic magnetic separator can

be built at any time, using only a
powerful magnet and a clamp to hold
the material down.
These can be used in removing various
types of magnetic materials from a
liquid or solid.
These are effective when used on a
liquid.
