MMPB440 UK3 High Intensity (HI) Magnetic Filters A high intensity, high gradient magnetic separator to capture fine ferrous and paramagnetic particles in liquids and slurries. Above: HI 1000-65 Procssing sand Right: HI 50-50 Ceramic body processing, Italy Applications • Ceramics - High Intensity (HI) Filters are proven to offer higher separation performances in ceramics plants than traditional magnetic separators, such as electromagnetic bowl filters • Mineral Processing - results have shown the HI Filter provides better magnetic separation on mineral slurries, such as silica and feldspathic sands, than traditional carousel wet magnetic separators, such as the WHIMS - up to 30% separation improvement • Food - including successful installation for chocolate producers • Chemicals Features • A unique, technologically advanced electromagnetic coil design • Background fields of 2500, 5000, 6500 and 10,000 Gauss • Direction of magnetic field into a central core to induce a special, magnetically susceptible matrix which amplifies background fields • Controlled feed velocity ensuring maximum residence time in magnetic zone • Direction of feed ensures no matrix blockage (often associated with WHIMS) • Portability (small units only) • Low running costs • Minimal maintenance • Availability of automatic self- cleaning models for continuous operation without any need for supervision • User-friendly control panel as stand-alone unit or linked to central computer system (PLC) • Fully encapsulated magnetic system, thus preventing external contamination (sometimes encountered with bowl fed filters) Benefits Ceramics: • Purification of glaze and body • Substantial (over 90%) reduction in product defects attributable to iron contamination when installed on glaze and slip lines • Lower product rejects and improved productivity • Brighter and whiter end product Mineral processing: • Purification of industrial minerals with resulting commercial gains All industries: • Improved quality • Environmentally friendly alternative to traditional separation methods, such as flotation • Economically viable upgrading of previously unsaleable product ®
