Read MoreThe Crusher’s Arch Enemy – Tramp Metal
Crushing quarried aggregate is a key process stage of most quarries and when recycling demolition waste. Effectively protecting the crusher from rogue tramp metal damage prevents production losses and repair costs. The wide range of available crushing technology enables the production of optimally sized aggregate. Whereas Jaw and Gyratory designs commonly feature as primary crushers,…
Read More6-Year-Old Electro Overband Magnet Refurbishment
Repair and refurbishment convert a well-used, functional magnetic separator into almost new, further extending the life of the equipment. One of Bunting’s latest repair and refurbishment projects involved a 6-year-old Electro Overband Magnet. The oil-cooled Electro Overband Magnet model 155 OCW 45 CB separates tramp ferrous metal from biomass pellets in a bulk handling terminal…
Read MoreWet High Intensity Magnetic Separation Testing
The electromagnetic laboratory-scale Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) removes fine magnetics and para-magnetics from mineral slurries. Handling minerals in a slurry or suspension is preferable for many processors, especially when beneficiation involves wet processing. Additionally, a wet process often produces a better separation for very fine materials. In this educational video, Professor Neil Rowson…
Read MorePermanent or Electro Overband Magnet Selection
The Overband Magnet is one of the most commonly used magnetic separators. Different designs are used in nearly all process industries and especially in mining, quarrying, recycling, and bulk handling applications. In operation, an Overband Magnet (or Suspension Magnet) sits above a conveyor carrying material. As the material passes under the magnet, ferrous metal is…
