Magnetic Separator Suppliers In South Africa

What is a Magnetic Separator?

Magnetic separation is the process of separating components of mixtures by using a magnet to attract magnetic substances.

What is the standard size of a Magnetic Separator?

The range of wet magnetic separators is composed of the series WS1200 with drum diameters of 1200 mm with a magnetically effective drum length of up to 3678 mm in increments of 613 mm.

What is the strength of a magnetic separator?

The magnetic strength of a Magnetic Separator is often referenced in terms of ‘gauss‘. Gauss (symbolized G) is the centimeter-gram-second (cgs) unit of magnetic flux density.

A flux density of 1 G represents one maxwell per centimeter squared (1 Mx cm -2 ).

Can you use magnetic separation for all metals?

This technique is useful for the select few minerals which are ferromagnetic (iron-, nickel-, and cobalt-containing minerals) and paramagnetic. 

Most metals, including gold, silver, and aluminum, are nonmagnetic. A large diversity of mechanical means are used to separate magnetic materials.

What are the types of magnetic separators?

The various magnetic separators are drum, cross-belt, roll, high-gradient magnetic separation (HGMS), high-intensity magnetic separation (HIMS), and low-intensity magnetic separation (LIMS) types.

A drum separator consists of a nonmagnetic drum fitted with three to six permanent magnets.
