Magnetic Drum Separators

Magnetic drum separators are important magnetic separators that removes ferrous metal from dry bulk products in free-flowing processing systems. They are self cleaning unit consisting of drums and housing normally of stainless steel. The magnets used by the magnetic drum separators are either ceramic magnets or rare earth magnets. The magnetic drum separators are available both in single or double drum configuration.

Configuration
The drum of the electromagnetic separators are designed in such a way that only half of its side is magnetized and the other half is not magnetized. An empty stainless steel shell which surrounds the magnet rotates freely whereas the magnet is stationary. The ferrous particles are captured by the magnets and released separately.

Buying Tips While selecting Drum magnetic separators, buyers are advised to keep certain considerations in mind: Buyers must buy the separator keeping in mind the types and the quality of the materials to be handled. Types of concentration, separation should also be kept in the mind Quality of the nonferrous materials to be handled must be taken into account while selecting Drum magnetic separator Buyer must also take into consideration the volume of the work to be accomplished and the type of the industry he is intending to use the magnetic separator.

How it Works?
The processing materials enters the top of the magnetic drum separator and flows across the surface of the drum. The rotatory drum in the magnetic field captures the ferrous tramps whereas non ferrous falls free from the drum into the cleaned material flow. As the drum rotates, the ferrous metal so captured is carried past the diverter and released outside of the magnetic field.

Types
Magnetic drum separators are of different types like:

• Electro drum separators
• Wet drum separators
• Double drum separators

Applications
The magnetic drum separator is ideal for separating iron particles from granules & powders It is widely used in the following industries:

• Glass
• Ceramic
• Chemical
• Fertilizer
• Plastic
• Food industry
• Iron and steel slag treatment
• Reduced pyrite ash separation
• Calcined ilmenite production
• Metal powder production

Buyers Advantage

• The magnetic drum separator is ideal for industries like Plastic, Food, Fertilizer, Pharmaceutical etc.
  
  
• Your crushers, grinders, pulverizers, and related equipment's are protected by magnetic drum separators, thereby saving maintenance cost.
  
  
• Useful for mining and ore dressing industry.
  
  
• If your plant deals with explosive material the drum separator is ideal as it will ensure your plants safety from fire and explosion hazards.
  
  
• You can not only give quality output but also save time labour and costs by using industrial magnetic drum separators.
