Master Mag Drum Separators are used where there is a high throughput of material to be separated and where the process of separation is likely to prove too abrasive for an overband or similar separators. Drum separators are available up to 1.8m diameter in a range of widths to provide a larger operating surface, increasing the amount of through put that can be processed. Drums can either have an internal permanent or electro magnet system depending on the application.

Permanent Drums Separators are used in smaller scale applications (i.e. agriculture industry would use a totally enclosed drum separator for metal contamination protection in the feed of grain). The permanent magnets are built either using ferrite magnets or rare earth super strength magnets depending on the application.

Electro Drum Separators are typically used in heavy-duty applications such as car shredding plants, slag recovery plants, waste incinerators and similar applications to continuously remove ferrous metals from a product stream. As well as being able to process much higher throughputs than Permanent Drums due to their larger Drum diameter, Electro-magnetic Drums are also capable of achieving a better extraction and will extract ferrous materials in a much wider range of sizes.
