How the Magnetic Drum Works

Material flows from the adjustable controller, which regulates and directs the product stream onto the drum. The stationary magnetic assembly within the outer stainless steel drum shell captures the ferrous particles and holds them against the drum surface.

The clean product flows freely as the drum rotates clock-wise, while the tramp metal is magnetically attracted to the drum and ravels to the drop point where the magnet assembly ends. The cleats on the drum aid in wiping off fine ferrous particles. This creates continuous self-cleaning action, requiring little maintenance or inspection.

How to Select Drum Separators

To find the Drum Separator you need, search the table for the handling capacity closest to your requirements. Flow capacities represent a maximum flow rate and are assumed to be for separation of general tramp iron. Select a unit whose rated capacity you will not exceed.

To determine what size unit you need to separate ferrous fines, use only 20 percent to 25 percent of the listed capacity. For optimum separation of fines, we recommend a shallow depth of flow to create a thin, uniform layer of moving product. With the further addition of Rare Earth magnets, you can achieve maximum separation efficiency.
