Material is fed from the hopper at a controlled rate onto the short belt conveyor via either a roll feeder or vibrating feeder to ensure a constant feed and monolayer of material. As the belt and material travels around the magnetic roll, magnetic particles are influenced by competing centrifugal and magnetic forces. They are thrown from the belt, at a position on the roll where the centrifugal force overcomes the magnetic forces.
Non-magnetic particles are thrown from the belt on their normal trajectory. The particles are diverted by the splitter onto the chutes or outlets. The chutes can be arranged for ‘non-magnetics’ or ‘magnetics’ retreatment.
The magnetic roll consists of a series of rare earth permanent magnet rings sandwiched between carbon steel disks with optimal thickness ratios dependant on feed material particle size.
The MAGQUIP SUPRSEP RERS will remove weakly magnetic particles from dry granular materials. Typical applications are the purification or processing of industrial minerals, heavy mineral beach sands and silica sands.
Specific minerals treated include:
Andalusite, Apatite, Bauxite, Calcite, Corundum, diamondiferous concentrates, Dolomite, Feldspar, Fireclay Iron ores, Kyanite, Limestone, Manganese ores, Magnesite, Mineral sands, Nepheline – Syenite, Quartz, Silica sand, sillimanite, Spodumene, Tantalite, wollastonite.
Typical size range of material treated from 75 microns to 10 mm.
