Detecting and Removing Tramp Metal from Conveyors
The process of quarrying aggregate and mining ore often results in the introduction of tramp metal. The effective detection and removal of this tramp metal is critical to prevent damage to crushers, screens and conveyors, and is achieved using metal detectors and magnetic separators. The design of metal detector or magnetic separator is dependent upon…

Read MoreTechnical Explanation of Rare Earth Roll Separator
The Rare Earth Roll Separator is one of the world’s most popular permanent magnetic separators used by mineral processors to separate paramagnetic minerals from dry materials. The Rare Earth Roll Separator is simple to install and use, whilst being exceptionally energy-efficient. The high-intensity magnetic strength enables the separation of very weakly magnetic minerals such as mica…
Read MoreMetal Recovery from Incinerator Bottom Ash
Burning any sort of waste produces an ash by-product often called ‘incinerator bottom ash’ or ‘furnace ash’. Commonly, this ash contains a high proportion of recoverable metal. This mix of ferrous and non-ferrous metal is recovered using Magnetic Separators and Eddy Current Separators. Ferrous Metal Recovery For one of our latest projects, we undertook extensive…
