Wet Magnetic Separator

FRP Wet Drum Magnetic Separator is a permanent magnetic separation equipment designed for the wet separation and recovery of magnetic minerals using a low-intensity magnetic field. Operating under slurry conditions, the equipment utilizes a stable magnetic field to effectively separate strongly magnetic minerals from non-magnetic materials. It is widely used for the recovery and upgrading of magnetite, pyrrhotite, roasted ore and iron-bearing tailings.
According to different material characteristics, feed particle sizes and separation requirements, the equipment is available with various tank configurations, including concurrent flow, semi-counter-current and counter-current types. It is suitable for roughing, cleaning and scavenging operations in mineral processing plants.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for Wet Magnetic Separator

Yes, a wet magnetic separator is widely used for iron recovery from tailings and for upgrading low-grade ores. In many plants, it is applied to recover valuable magnetic minerals that would otherwise be lost, helping improve overall resource utilization and reduce waste.

The selection of tank type depends on feed characteristics, particle size and the purpose of the separation stage. Concurrent tanks are commonly used for coarse separation and standard processing duties. Counter-current tanks are suitable for fine particle recovery and applications requiring high recovery performance, while semi-counter-current tanks provide a balanced performance between recovery and concentrate quality, making them widely used in magnetite beneficiation.

The right model should be selected based on the magnetic properties of the material, feed particle size, slurry concentration, required processing capacity, and the machine’s position in the process flow, such as roughing, cleaning, or scavenging. A proper selection should always be based on actual working conditions rather than capacity alone.
