Wet High-Intensity Magnetic Separators

The SLon® VPHGMS (Vertically Pulsating High-Gradient Magnetic Separator) is a wet, high intensity magnetic separator (WHIMS) in which a combination of magnetic force, pulsating fluid and gravity are used to effectively process fine, weakly magnetic minerals.

The advanced features of the SLon® are incorporated into a modern design that utilizes a unique vertical configuration, jigging action and special matrix materials to achieve unsurpassed results. It was designed specifically to overcome the various drawbacks of traditional WHIMS when processing fine materials.

Processing economics

  • Lowest cost per ton product
  • Superior metallurgical performance
  • Low maintenance
  • Strong magnetic force
  • Excels in fine particle applications (<20µm)
  • Extremely efficient separation
  • Very low tendency for matrix plugging

Particle treatment size:

  • <1.3mm (approximately 12 mesh)
  • Approx. Gauss Range: Up to 10,000 Gauss

Applications

  • Concentration of: Iron ore, ilmenite, chromite ore and manganese ore
  • Mineral sands separation (in addition to ilmenite)
  • Purification of non-metallic minerals (feldspar, silica sands, etc.)
  • Fine materials recovery
  • Replacement of conventional WHIMS
