Operating Features of Wet Drum Magnetic Separators The variables affecting the collection of ferromagnetics in a wet drum magnetic separator are: All Stainless Steel End Flange, Shell and Wear Wrap Magnetic field strength. The magnetic field strength must be sufficient to effectively collect ferromagnetic minerals. Hydraulic capacity. Ferromagnetic recovery is directly related to the flowrate through the separator. As the flowrate increases, the slurry velocity and consequently the fluid drag force increases which tends to detach more magnetite particles from the opposing magnetic field. Percent...

Wet Drums Wet drums in heavy media applications provide continuous recovery of magnetite or ferrosilicon. Eriez has set the industry standards in the heavy media industry developing both the design criteria of the magnetic circuit and the benchmark of operation. The 950 gauss Interpole magnetic element, developed by Eriez, is the most acclaimed magnet of engineering standards in the industry. Eriez has also set the benchmark for wet drum performance. The culmination of various in–plant tests has demonstrated that the separators will achieve magnetite recoveries in the 99.9+ percent. (This is...

Self-Leveling Separator The Eriez Self–Leveling wet drum magnetic separator represents the newest available technology. This separator combines the best engineering and operational features and provides excellent performance with ease of operation, inspection, and maintenance. Both the concurrent and the counter–rotation tank have a full width overflow that must be maintained during operation. A deviation in the overflow level may result in inefficiencies in the operation. A new Eriez development is the counter–rotation Self–Leveling tank style. This tank has several attributes that provide operational...

Wet drum magnetic separators are the most vital part of the upgrading process in magnetite concentration. The upgrading of primary magnetite is always accomplished with wet drum separators. Mill feed is typically upgraded to 65+ percent magnetic iron using a series of wet drum magnetic separators. The number of magnetic separation stages required to upgrade the ore is dependent on the magnetite content and the liberation characteristics of the ore. Eriez Wet Drum Magnetic Separators are engineered and fabricated to provide reliable operation in demanding applications. The separator is designed...
