Induced Roll Magnetic Separator
Magnetic Properties of Ceramic Minerals
Magnetic minerals and fine iron have plagued ceramic producers since the first glazed pot was produced many thousands of years ago. Early ceramicists adopted elaborate and colourful patterns to cover any imperfections caused by such contamination. Over time, the demand for white or single coloured ceramic products increased, making disguising any imperfection increasingly difficult. Ceramic…
Read MoreWhat is an Axial and Radial Magnetic Field?
Rotary Magnetic Separators, such as the Drum Magnet and Pulley Magnet, are designed with a specific type of magnetic field. The type of magnetic field is considered when looking at any application and when deciding which design will achieve a customer’s separation objective. For these rotary designs of magnetic separator, there are two types of magnetic…
Read MoreRare Earth Roll or Induced Magnetic Roll
Comparing Two High Intensity Magnetic Separators High intensity magnetic separators remove ferro and para magnetic particles from dry non-metallic minerals. However, the design of the separation system dictates the final product purity and product losses. The two most common designs of dry high intensity magnetic separator are the Induced Roll (IMR) and the Rare Earth…
Read More2018 Review
A Look Back at our News & Blogs in 2018 2018 proved to be another exciting year. Despite the spectre of BREXIT, business overseas continued to flourish and grow. We attended a number of international exhibitions, securing orders on the stand. There have also been concerns on the UK mainland about waste management and especially…
Read MoreMagnetic Separators For Mineral Processing
Magnetic separators can be found in most mineral processing operations, especially those processing non-metallic minerals and magnetic ores. This article investigates the use of high intensity magnetic separators and magnetic separation equipment in the minerals sector with a focus on processing dry materials (in the -15mm, +45 micron size range). Magnetic Separators and Metal Detectors…
Read MoreHUB4 Visits Master Magnets
As part of our 40th anniversary celebration, we invited David Roberts from HUB-4 to our manufacturing plant in Redditch, UK. With business strong following two successful exhibitions (Hillhead and RWM), David was able to see a busy shop floor. Eddy Current Separator On a tour around the factory, we showed David the Eddy Current Separator that…
Read MoreVideo Explanation of the Induced Magnetic Roll Separator IMR
The Induced Magnetic Roll Separator (IMR) has been used in the non-metallic mineral industry for decades. However, the popularity of this high intensity magnetic separator dwindled after the development of the Rare Earth (RE) Roll Magnetic Separator in the late 70s early 80s. Whereas the magnetic forces in an IMR were electromagnetically generated, high intensity…
Read MoreLab Equipment For Belgium
Research institute Vito NV, based in Belgium, has purchased a range of laboratory scale Magnetic Separators to evaluate the magnetic properties of different minerals in their research. Dry Processing with the Induced Magnetic Roll For testing dry, free-flowing materials, a High Intensity Bench Top Induced Magnetic Roll (IMR) was supplied. The design of the laboratory-scale IMR allows…
Read More5 High Intensity Magnetic Separators for SODEX Mines
Bunting manufactured five (5) high intensity Magnetic Separators for SODEX Mines in Nigeria. The mineral processing company specialises in the production of Columbite concentrates that are used in the manufacture of superconductive alloys. Prior to contacting Bunting, SODEX Mines were using old and outdated magnetic separators. Subsequently, they were experiencing difficulties in upgrading their final…
