Wet magnetic drum separator ERGA WetMag
Wet permanent magnetic separator for continuous concentration of ores and nonmetallic materials
Operation Principle
Industries
A self-discharging ERGA WetMag permanent magnetic drum separatoris specialized equipment designed to remove ferromagnetic materials from liquids, slurries and fine materials in the mineral processing process. Unlike dry magnetic separators that handle dry powders or granules, wet drum separators handle liquid or slurry-like materials. In the mining industry, wet separators play a key role in the recovery of magnetic minerals such as magnetite, ferrosilicon and others, helping to maximize the economic potential of ore deposits.
Permanent magnetic system
The magnetic field parameters are selected individually depending on magnetic susceptibility of concentrated material:
- for recovery of strongly magnetic concentrate (magnetite ore dressing, CHP plant ash, removal of industrial iron) the recommended magnetic induction in the operating area is 0.08-0.24 T;
- for getting tailings with minimum content of useful magnetic product or for recovery of less magnetic materials (oxidized industrial iron, ferromanganese minerals, etc.), the recommended induction in the operating area is 0.24-0.4 T.
Special magnetic system for wet separation process
Special magnetic system design is used for this type of equipment. The wet drum magnetic separators are deep magnetization of the operating zone for maximum recovery of magnetic particles and high-induction magnetic stirring for breaking magnetic floccules and receiving magnetic concentrate.
Efficient recovery of magnetic inclusions of various sizes
Efficient recovery of magnetic inclusions in separated fractions is achieved by customized selection of the required bath type:
- concurrent bath is used for coarse material (up to 10mm);
- countercurrent bath is for material size up to 3 mm;
- semi-countercurrent bath is for fine material (98% less than 0.071 mm).
Wet separation method
The wet separation process allows for processing of a wide range of particle sizes to produce high-quality saleable magnetic concentrate.
Protection of operating surfaces
Wear-prone separator parts (bath,drum) are lined with special wear-resistant coatings. Separator covers are made of stainless steel, have increased reliability and wear resistance.
