Q1: What types of materials can be processed with a magnetic drum separator?
A1: Magnetic drum separators are ideal for removing ferrous contaminants from bulk materials such as minerals, sand, plastic granules, crushed glass, wood chips, and construction waste.
Q2: What's the difference between permanent magnetic drums and electromagnetic drums?
A2:
Permanent magnetic drums use rare earth or ferrite magnets and require no power supply, making them energy-efficient and maintenance-friendly.
Electromagnetic drums generate a controllable magnetic field via an electric current, suitable for high-intensity separation and adjustable operations.
Q3: Can the magnetic drum separator operate continuously?
A3: Yes, magnetic drum separators are designed for continuous operation. They automatically separate ferrous materials while allowing non-magnetic materials to pass through, making them ideal for production lines.
Q4: How do I choose the right drum size and magnetic strength?
A4: The selection depends on your processing capacity, material type, particle size, and separation goals. For fine or weakly magnetic materials, higher Gauss strength and finer adjustment may be needed. We offer customized solutions based on your application.
Q5: Is it easy to install and maintain?A5: Yes. The separator is designed for simple overhead installation and can be easily integrated into existing conveyor systems. Maintenance is minimal, typically involving periodic cleaning of magnetic surfaces and structural inspections.
Q6: Can it be integrated into an existing processing line?
A6: Yes. Our suspended magnetic separators are designed for flexible integration and can be easily retrofitted into existing conveyor or material handling systems. We also offer technical support to assist with layout planning and installation.
