BJ Magnets’ Magnetic Drum Separators are used in the separation of dry solids or removal of tramp iron from bulk material of all kind. The built-in powerful permanent magnets enable a separation performance of a more efficient result. The attracted material is conveyed by the Drum shell to the end of the magnetic field. The Drum revolves and carries the material through the stationary magnetic field, then drops to the other side of an adjustable splitter. The non-magnetic material falls freely from the shell, while the magnetic particles are held firmly until they are carried out of the magnetic field.   We, BJ Magnets, can design with engineering skills, customised magnetic separation solutions for your process which help you improve the efficiency of downstream processing, thus lowering your overall costs of production; and giving our customers a peace of mind.   BJ Magnets’ Magnetic Drum Separators remove both large and small pieces of ferrous contaminants from material processing lines and provide years of trouble–free.   Compliance: The Rotating Drum Magnetic Separators comply with relevant safety and quality standards such as the Food Safety Standards; in which instance our equipment aligns with the HACCP International Food Safety Standard 0909MAGSEP 1-2010, demonstrating our commitment to food safety and regulatory compliance.

PRODUCTS

A Dry Drum Magnet is a type of magnetic separator that functions with the aid of a rotating drum to separate ferrous metals from non-metallic materials in dry bulk processes. It’s commonly used in industries like:- Mining

  • Recycling
  • Quarrying
  • Food processing
  • Chemical processing

The BJ Magnets’ Dry Drum Magnetic Separator is designed for the continuous extraction of ferrous metal contamination from dry bulk material – Ideal for free-flowing dry products such as granules, grains, minerals and powders. It is also effective for:

  • Removing tramp iron and steel from materials
  • Protecting downstream equipment from damage
  • Recovering valuable metals for recycling
  • Improving product purity.

The BJ Magnets’ Dry Drum Magnetic Separator has an outer shell which rotates, in such a way that, clean product is allowed to free fall from the Drum while powerful magnets hold ferrous contamination to the point where the magnetism ends, then discharges the metal under the Drum, thus ensuring a total separation. It works in a such a way that:

  1. Material is fed onto the drum’s surface.
  2. The drum rotates, and the magnetic field attracts ferrous metals, lifting them away from non-metallic materials.
  3. The attracted metals are then discharged into a separate collection area.
  4. Non-metallic materials continue on, unaffected by the magnetic field.

Eventually material is fed uniformly into to the surface of the Drum from a conveyor, vibratory feeder or chute work, thus ensuring continuous ferrous contamination removal.

We, BJ Magnets, design and manufacture various sizes of drums with engineered magnetic strengths, and configurations to suit different applications; which come in Standard Ferrite Version – for general tramp iron contamination such as nuts and bolts as well as in High Intensity Version – for fine paramagnetic materials where a greater level of protection is required.

Some common types include:

  • Single-drum magnets
  • Double-drum magnets
  • Rare-earth magnetic drums
  • Permanent magnetic drums.
