Rare Earth Drum Separator

Eriez Rare Earth Drum Separators effectively collect fine ferromagnetic and paramagnetic materials in ore treatment operations. Magnetic lines of flux are concentrated in each internal pole, creating an extremely high-gradient magnetic field. Powerful Permanent Rare Earth magnets enable more efficient separation performance for a broader range of applications than ever before.

Type RE (Rare Earth), Model HF (drum in housing with feeder or feed hopper) and Model HFP (drum in housing with feeder or feed hopper and discharge chutes) Permanent Magnetic Drum Separators provide efficient separation and years of trouble–free automatic removal of magnetics from rock products, minerals, ores, etc.

As material reaches the drum, the magnetic field attracts and holds ferrous particles to the drum shell. As the drum revolves, it carries the material through the stationary magnetic field. The nonmagnetic material falls freely from the shell, while the magnetic particles are held firmly until they are carried out of the magnetic field.

• Wide variety of drum diameters and widths available
• High intensity permanent magnetic element
• Variety of magnetic field strengths available to precisely match the application
• Continuous duty applications
• Heavy duty bearings and rotating components
• Fully housed with discharge chutes
• Mill and Chemical Duty drives available
• Variable speed drives
• Optional hoppers and vibratory feeders

Eriez also offers standard magnetic drum separators with ceramic magnetic materials which continue to be the most frequently used magnets for removing tramp metal and smaller metal contamination.
