Benefits
High Magnetic Field Strength: Offers a range of background magnetic field strengths from 3,500 to 10,000 Gauss for effectively separating fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from liquids and slurries.
Applications: Used to remove fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from non-metallic mineral slurries.
Efficient Separation: Higher separation efficiency than permanent magnetic separators by generating significant background magnetic field strength and a high magnetic field gradient on the matrix surface.
Back Flush Cleaning: Automated back flush cleaning cycle to clean captured contaminants off the matrix. Cycle times can be adjusted via the HMI to suit application needs.
Energy Efficiency: Utilises highly efficient computer-designed coils paired with an air-over-oil heat exchange to maintain optimal operating temperature.
Easy Maintenance: The system includes a removable jib crane that allows for easy removal of the top pole and matrix assembly for maintenance and cleaning, minimising downtime and the need for additional infrastructure.
Controlled Operation: Can be fully automated using a control system with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC and HMI to manage cleaning frequency and parameters.
Valve Configurations: Available in 4-valve to 8-valve configurations to suit different applications.
Testing Facilities: Bunting offers controlled tests on laboratory-sized filters to confirm separation capabilities.

ABOUT
Electromagnetic Filters: Powerful Magnetic Separation Technology
Electromagnetic filters provide highly effective removal of fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from ceramic slips, glazes, and industrial mineral slurries. Key features include:
- Generate strong magnetic fields up to 10,000 Gauss for superior separation efficiency
- Remove problematic magnetic particles as small as 0-500 microns
- Automated cleaning cycles for continuous processing
- Available in 3,500 to 10,000 Gauss models for different applications
How Electromagnetic Filters Work
- Electromagnetic coil creates intense magnetic field in stainless steel matrix
- Slurry pumped through matrix, magnetic particles attracted and captured
- Periodic cleaning cycles flush out captured particles
- Can be set up in pairs for non-stop operation
Key Benefits
- More effective than permanent magnetic separators
- Removes very fine iron and paramagnetic minerals
- Improves purity of ceramic materials and industrial minerals
- Automated operation with programmable controls
Common Applications
- Cleaning ceramic glazes and slips
- Purifying mineral slurries like silica sand, feldspar, kaolin, etc.
- Removing contaminants from ball clay, calcium carbonate, talc
For industries requiring high-purity materials, electromagnetic filters offer powerful magnetic separation capabilities to remove even the finest magnetic contaminants. Their adjustable field strength and automated operation make them ideal for a wide range of ceramic and mineral processing applications.
