Sci-tech Electric Magnetic Separation Apparatus Model Env 026

During sorting, a solid compound is separated according to its material characteristics.

Magnetic separation is a method of sorting which utilises the magnetic ability of components of a solid compound. Magnetic separators are often used in coal and ore preparation.

Sci-tech Magnetic Separation Apparatus Model ENV 026 enables the solid compound to be separated is charged into the feed hopper. A vibrating trough conveys the compound onto a rotating, non-magnetic drum. Its speed can be adjusted by way of a potentiometer. In one area of the drum there is a fixed permanent magnet. Non-magnetizable components drop into a collector tank due to gravity. Magnetizable components adhere to the drum in the area of the magnet, are carried along and drop into a different tank as soon as they are beyond the magnetic zone. The mass flow of the feed material can be adjusted by way of the distance of the hopper outlet from the vibrating trough and by the throw and frequency of the trough. A mixture of sand and small steel items, such as hexagon nuts, is recommended and supplied for use as the feed material
