Product catalog summary
Overview of Low Intensity Magnetic Separators (LIMS) Program
The document provides a comprehensive overview of Metso's Low Intensity Magnetic Separators (LIMS) designed to recover magnetic material from non-magnetic matter. These separators are modular, featuring several frames and process tank designs, utilizing a common magnetic drum for optimal machine selection based on application needs.
Specifications and Design
The LIMS use permanent magnetic material to achieve high magnetic attraction force and efficiency. There are four styles of process tanks for wet processing and two styles of frames for dry processing. The separators are available in various sizes and designs to suit specific applications.
Performance and Capacity
LIMS are noted for their high capacity, reducing the number of machines required. The unique magnetic assembly design enhances selectivity between magnetic and non-magnetic materials, leading to fewer machines, reduced maintenance, and lower costs.
Ease of Operation and Maintenance
The design allows for normal variations in feed conditions without adjustments. Maintenance costs are minimized due to protective rubber linings and durable bearings, with lubrication easily automated. The availability and reliability of Metso LIMS have been proven over years of service.
Models and Applications
All LIMS are based on a revolving magnetic drum with a stationary magnetic array. They are categorized into dry and wet separation models. Dry models are suitable for materials 2 to 200 millimeters in a dry state, while wet models handle materials from a few micrometers to less than 6-8 millimeters in water. Various magnetic systems are available to maximize efficiency.
Dry and Wet Processing
For dry processing, the belt drum type (BSS or BSA) is preferred for coarser materials, while the dust house enclosed drum separator (DS) is recommended for finer materials. Wet processing is preferred for finer materials, with models like concurrent (CC), counter-rotation (CR), and counter-current (CTC) available for different stages of ore processing. Special models (DM and CR) are designed for dense media separation processes.
Contact Information
The document concludes with contact details for Metso's offices worldwide, including locations in Finland, Sweden, USA, South Africa, Australia, India, Peru, Chile, and Brazil.

Dry magnetic separator, belt type ready for shipment to an Eastern European iron ore operation. High capacity While the capacity of LIMS is very much d ­ ependant on the material to be processed, the LIMS have proven to have outstandingly high capacity thus fewer ­ achines are rem quired. The separators are available in several sizes and designs to suit each individual application. The LIMS are protected against wear by rubber linings of the tanks and rubber or steel covering of the drums. Bearings are ­ esigned d for extremely long duty and the ­ubrication l can easily be automated. ­ For dry...
