CR feed tubes are protected by polyurethane saddles against abrasion. Features and benefits Magnetic system The heart of the magnetic separator is the magnet assembly. Metso provides basically two different assemblies: high capacity and high gradient, (HG). The high capacity assembly is the standard magnetic system. The main differences between the two magnet assemblies are pole pitch, pole sizes, and number of poles. The magnet assemblies are similar in design with both having a number of main poles and a number of intermediate cross poles for flux control and enhancement of the magnetic...

Magnet positioning Direct gear motor drive Features and benefits Adjustment of magnet and drum position Feed boxes Drum drive system The magnetic drum and magnetic assembly can easily be adjusted to obtain the best process performance. The adjustment possibilities include The feed system for primary distribution of the pulp to the feed boxes that are supplied with the separators is normally not part of the equipment supply; however, Metso can optionally supply or advise on solutions for these systems. The drum on any Metso magnetic separator has a drive shaft, which can be adapted to any...

Adjustable concentrate overflow weir CR tank with pulp level bars Concentrate discharge and collection Effluent (tailings) discharge and collection An overflow weir is provided for the magnetic concentrate discharge. This weir, manufactured of HDPE or, optionally, in polyurethane, is adjustable to obtain optimum discharge conditions. The launders for collection of the concentrate that is discharged over the weir are made of a rubber-lined combination of mild and stainless steel and are bolted to the separator tank frame. Depending on the installation situation, standard launders or,...

Application guide lines Absolute guidelines for model selection and dimensions are not available due to the widely varying nature of iron ores; hence, the data shown in the table below are only indicative and, when in doubt of the properties of a specific ore, the lower feed rate should be used. Testing in a laboratory, followed by on site testing is always advisable especially when planning for larger installa- tions. Sizing of full-size machines using only laboratory data is normally not sufficient to determine the number of magnetic separators that are required. The capacities in the...
