Ceramics Industry
Iron contamination in a fired ceramic product causes serious defects including surface and body cracks, black spots, and indentations. The presence of weakly magnetic fine iron and mineral iron also affects the colour and brightness, especially on white ceramics such as tableware, tiles and sanitaryware. This ferrous contamination is successfully removed using high intensity Magnetic Separators and the applications include:
- Cleansing of free fine iron from ceramic slips and glazes with high intensity Electro Magnetic Filters and permanent magnet Liquid Pipeline Separators;
- Fine iron removal from spray dried ceramics and powders using high intensity Drum Magnets and Rare Earth Roll Separators;
- General iron removal from dry ceramics and mineral raw materials using Tube & Grid Magnets, Bullet Separators, and Plate Magnets;
- Purification of non-metallic minerals used in the manufacture of ceramics (e.g. feldspar, silica sand) using a Rare Earth Roll Separator or Induced Roll Separator;
