What Are Magnetic Separators?

Magnetic separators offer a powerful solution to minimize metallic contamination and maximize product quality in industrial processes. Equipped with reliable and effective operational principles, these devices are used across a broad range of industries, from mining to food processing. They meticulously filter out metal particles from materials passing through the product flow, enhancing production efficiency. Magnetic separators are indispensable in industrial facilities as they both improve product quality and ensure production efficiency.

Magnetic separators are crucial equipment used to separate metallic particles or other non-magnetic substances in industrial processes. They are commonly employed to reduce metallic contamination or remove unwanted metal particles from products. They are typically used in industries such as mining, food processing, chemicals, plastics, recycling, and others.

How Do Magnetic Separators Work?

Magnetic separators contain magnets that create a powerful magnetic field. When metallic particles or other non-magnetic materials come into contact with this magnetic field, they are attracted and separated. This process effectively cleanses materials of metal contamination as they pass through the product flow.

Advantages of Magnetic Separators:

  • Contamination Reduction: Magnetic separators effectively reduce metal contamination in products, thereby enhancing product quality.

  • Production Efficiency: Using magnetic separators on processing lines ensures more organized and efficient production processes, extending downtime intervals.

  • Cost Savings: Reducing metallic contamination decreases the risk of damage and downtime in production lines, thus lowering costs and minimizing potential equipment damage.

  • Environmental Sensitivity: Magnetic separators help control metal waste that can harm the environment, thereby increasing environmental sustainability and facilitating the recovery of raw materials.

Applications of Magnetic Separators:

Cement Industry: Real Group Energy produces high-quality and reliable equipment to meet the demands of the cement sector. You are in the right place to ensure that production flow remains uninterrupted and to protect your process from damage caused by unwanted metals.

Mining Industry: Real Group Energy offers the latest and most advanced equipment for ore processing. We provide high-performance, reliable, and durable solutions for a wide range of mining applications, including iron ore, industrial minerals, coal processing, and hard rock mining.

Recycling Industry: Real Group Energy's recycling equipment is used for separating and recovering metals from various applications, including solid waste disposal facilities, plastics, electronic waste, and foundry sands.

Types of Magnetic Separators:

Drawer Separators: Drawer magnetic bar separators are effective equipment used to separate iron-based particles from granular or particulate materials in industrial processes. These separators use powerful magnetic bar rods to attract and separate iron particles. Their drawer design facilitates ease of use and simplifies maintenance. Additionally, the removable drawers speed up cleaning and maintenance processes. Due to these features, drawer magnetic bar separators are preferred in various industrial applications to reduce metal contamination and enhance product quality.

Bullet Separators and Liquid Separation Separators: These separators are used for separating metals from granular or fine micronized materials. They typically feature systems that hold ferromagnetic metals on the surface of a bullet-type magnet, positioned against the flow direction of materials passing through pipes and channels. Metals captured can be cleaned via the intervention cover on the separator. Bullet or projectile-type separators are used for removing unwanted ferromagnetic particles such as iron and steel from granular components or coarse materials in high-capacity free-fall processes. They are utilized in industries including plastics, animal feed, ceramics, and recycling.

Magnetic filters (liquid separators) are equipment used in metal removal processes from liquid flows. They are used to extract metals from materials such as oils, chocolates, and fluid foods. The magnetic field strength and material permeability inside the housing can vary based on metal density and material flow. They offer options for flange-mounted, threaded, and weld-mounted connections. Magnetic filters preserve product purity by removing rust and fine iron contaminants. Whether for custom production or standard flange types, with variable bar counts or high-pressure lines, please contact us to find the most suitable solutions from our range of products.

Magnetic Drum Separators: Simple magnetic drum separators are designed with scraper-equipped, rotary structures containing magnetic blocks to suit specific working conditions, diameters, and sizes. Inside, neodymium or ferrite natural magnets are mounted on half of the cylinder attached to the shaft. The external drive drum rotates, capturing and releasing metals at specific angles. The separators' dividers catch ferromagnetic materials in the product with each rotation and release them at the end point. They are usually adapted to existing conveyor belt systems or discharge chutes. For custom production of 360-degree fully magnetic core drums as conveyor drive drums, please provide the belt dimensions to our technical office.
