Various Types Of Magnetic Separators

Author: Paramjit Singh

Magnetic Separators are the machines used to remove ferrous content from the tramp iron mixtures by using a strong magnetic field. These devices are extensively used for various metallurgical processes like metal purification, concentration, tramp iron removal, etc. The materials that need to be cleaned are made to pass through the Magnetic Separators which draw and pull out all the unwanted impurities and then the materials come out with absolute purity. Today, several types of Magnetic Separators are available in the market, such as:

  • Over-band Magnetic Separators: These separators are used along with pre-installed conveyor belts to remove the impurities from the raw material at a rapid rate. They are primarily used in various industries like thermal power, sugar, cement and rubber recycling industries.
  • Plate Type Magnetic Separators: These separators are suspended over conveyor belts or stainless steel vibrators to effectively ferrous impurities from sand, concrete, etc. Plate Separators have the ability to remove even the large ferrous contaminants such as welding rod, nuts, bolts and staples.
  • Magnetic Pulleys: Another commonly used Magnetic Separator is the magnetic pulley which is easy to install and delivers quality results. Through these devices, the process steam can directly come in contact with the suspended magnet which, in turn, ensures contamination free raw material. They are widely used for cleaning various materials like slag, cement, sugar, etc.
  • Suspension Magnet: These separators are prominently used for tramp iron removal in coal, slag and fertilizer industries. It involves the suspension of large magnet directly over the raw material to extract all the impurities quickly. The impurities get stuck to the magnet leaving the material uncontaminated.

Applications of Magnetic Separators

Magnetic Separators have become one of the indispensable devices for a number of industries like cola handling plants, chemical processing, plastic, thermal power stations, food and beverage, cement and fertilizers, etc. The main processes for which these devices are used include:

  • Removal of ferrous content from raw material
  • Removal of arsenic content from water in water treatment plants
  • Material purification
  • Cold finishing
  • Hot forming
  • Eliminating magnetic contaminants from metals
  • Extraction and enrichment of mineral ores
  • Biotechnical processes, etc.
