Drum Separators

Drum-in-Housing Magnets

The drum magnet design allows for continuous cleaning of the magnet system, accomplished by the rotation of the drum itself around the magnetic element. Similar to cleaning belts on MSI’s self-cleaning suspended magnet, the rotating drum features wipers that clear away ferrous collected on the drum surface. Like MSI’s pulleys, drum-in-housing magnets are available in two difference configurations: radial and axial designs.

• AXIAL DESIGN is the work horse for magnetic drum applications and is used widely through a number
  of industries. This design provides agitation, improves separation, and can provide good reach out into deep burdens, as needed.
• RADIAL DESIGN is typically used for the separation of fine ferrous from fine burdens, like magnetic particles from sand.

Separation behavior for both axial and radial designs are similar to magnetic head pulleys with added advantages:

1. the separator does not require a conveyor system, saving money;
2. in larger diameters, drum separators can be built stronger and more economically than pulleys;
3. the damper can be adjusted and the magnet can be used both to separate and to meter burden flow, and
4. optional removable shell consideration: the magnetic element is separate from the rotating shell, so in abrasive applications the design allows for shell replacement.
