Magnetic Separators and Magnetic Separation Equipment
What is Magnetic Separation? Magnetic Separation is one of the most common and important physical separation techniques and there are many varieties of magnetic separation equipment available. The basic concept of a Magnetic Separation is that magnetically susceptible particles or bodies are separated from non-magnetic particles. However, the simplicity stops there. To enable different levels…
Read MoreMagnetic Separators For Mineral Processing
Magnetic separators can be found in most mineral processing operations, especially those processing non-metallic minerals and magnetic ores. This article investigates the use of high intensity magnetic separators and magnetic separation equipment in the minerals sector with a focus on processing dry materials (in the -15mm, +45 micron size range). Principles of Magnetic Separators There…

Read MoreVideo Explanation of the Induced Magnetic Roll Separator IMR
The Induced Magnetic Roll Separator (IMR) has been used in the non-metallic mineral industry for decades. However, the popularity of this high intensity magnetic separator dwindled after the development of the Rare Earth (RE) Roll Magnetic Separator in the late 70s early 80s. Whereas the magnetic forces in an IMR were electromagnetically generated, high intensity…
