The wet drum separator is useful to remove very fine magnetic particles from low concentration, low-viscosity liquids. The system intended for use in the metal processing industry and for the treatment of preconcentrates extracted from the high gradient magnetic filter. Around 90 % of the grain sizes ranging from 1 µm to 1000 µm can be separated as sludge. Features such as stainless steel housing and powerful neodymium iron boron magnets are standard.

General Principal :
The liquid flows through a semicircular separating chamber beneath a stainless steel drum to which the magnetic particles are attracted. The strong, high-gradient magnetic field is created by a cylinder consisting of permanent magnetic slabs positioned within the drum. These special permanent magnets generate particularly high field gradients which are necessary for successful separation, as is the need with all magnetic separators. For recovering magnetic / ferrosilicon in dense media plants and iron ores wet drum separators are primarily used. The contaminants are removed from the product stream, increasing product purity and plant productivity. In the applications where the product purity is most essential the wet drum separators can use powerful rare earth magnets which can remove very fine and weak contaminants even from dense materials.

How it Works :
The liquid flows through a semicircular separating chamber beneath a stainless steel drum chamber through which the liquid flows. The cylinder consisting of permanent magnetic slabs are positioned within the drum to which the magnetic particles are attracted. By rotating the drum, the filter cake is lifted out of the slurry and the magnetic field.

Salient Features :

• Wet drum magnets have high magnetic recovery and discharge.
• The feed slurries recover the magnetics.
• Available in single or multiple drum applications.
• Permanent magnet assembly eliminates coil burn-outs .
• The magnet / pole elements are bolted to a mild steel shaft.
• The drum is made from thick stainless steel for long service life.
• Wet drum separators are available in different configuration like single drum, double drum and multiple drum. In double drum two separators are arranged back to back with a common feed back.
