Where magnetic separation pays
Magnetite and hematite plants use wet drum separators to pull magnetic iron from ground slurry; dry separators upgrade lump ore, recover metal from slag and clean industrial minerals. The machine is simple — the selection is not: field intensity, drum diameter and feed preparation decide whether you get a sellable concentrate or a weak middling.
Key parameters to define
- Mineral and its magnetic susceptibility.
- Feed size and whether wet slurry or dry processing.
- Target concentrate grade and recovery rate.
- Throughput per hour and number of separation stages.
- Water supply for wet drum configurations.
Typical configuration ranges
| Item | Common options | Indicative range |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Wet drum, dry roll, high-intensity | By mineral and moisture |
| Field intensity | Ferrite, rare-earth magnets | 800–12000 Gauss class |
| Drum size | Diameter × width series | 600×1200 – 1200×3000 mm |
| Throughput | By feed size and duty | 5–100 t/h |
Ranges are indicative. Separation results must be verified by a mineral test.
What a quotation should clarify
| Quotation area | Questions to record |
|---|---|
| Test | Was your ore sample tested, with grade and recovery data? |
| Stages | Rougher/cleaner/scavenger stages included for your target grade? |
| Magnet | Magnet material and demagnetization warranty period? |
| Wear | Drum skin and tank wear-part life and pricing? |
| Scope | Feed box, spray pipes, frame and motor included? |
