Principle of Operation

How it works

While a direct electric current flows through the energizing coils, a magnetic field is created in the separating zone. The ring housing the magnetic matrix rotates around its horizontal axis. When slurry is fed into the matrix, located in the separating zone, magnetic particles are attracted from the slurry and on to the surface of the matrix. They are then brought to the top where the magnetic field is negligible, then flushed out into the concentrate box.

Non-magnetic particles, however, pass through the matrix and enter into the tailings box under the combined actions of gravity and pulsating hydrodynamic force.
