Unleashing magnetic power
Explore the impact of magnetic separation equipment in mining and mineral processing
Magnetic separators are commonplace in most mining and mineral processing operations . However , the term ‘ magnetic separator ’ encompasses a diverse range of specialist separation equipment with the ability to separate widely different materials such as large tramp metal and paramagnetic minerals .
Magnetic separators for the mining and mineral processing sectors are broadly differentiated into two ranges . Firstly , magnetic separators with a deep magnetic field , such as overband magnets , are commonly used early in the process to remove tramp ferrous metal and prevent damage to crushers , screens , and conveyors .
Secondly , for mineral beneficiation , also known as ore dressing , high-intensity magnetic separators with a shallow and powerful magnetic field separate strong magnetic minerals from mined ores and quarried rocks for purification or recovery .
