What are iron separators for?

The functioning of the industrial complex, regardless of the scale of activity, is fully dependent on the fixed assets on the balance sheet of the enterprise and the condition of mechanisms that periodically need to be thoroughly cleaned from chips, metal and other debris accumulated as a result of production activities. To extend the operating period of the existing production equipment, to prevent irrational additional costs associated with the repair or purchase of new equipment, devices are considered, whose capabilities and functions include the prevention of such manifestations.

So what are iron separators for?

It is thanks to these devices that it is possible to delimit

iron-containing particles from the bulk of materials and components, e.g. sand, crushed stone and others. In the principle of action of the iron separator is a given of small particles to be magnetized, and the presence of a magnet in the design makes this process effective and efficient.

Iron separators with their “attracting” action contribute to the qualitative purification of the material.

What you need to know when selecting

When selecting a device, it is important to consider certain factors, namely:

• basics of the item being separated
• dimensions of separated components
• type of movement
• type of contamination (various impurities, etc.)

Based on these selection criteria, actually select the type of iron separator, which is available in the following versions:

• magnetic grid
• overhead separator, oriented for use directly on the conveyor belt
• for liquid components
• drum iron separator – directly for bulk components

The iron separators are available in both bulky sizes with large capacity and compact sizes ideal for small capacity factories.

According to the mode of operation are classified as:

• pulley
• self-unloading
• rods
• suspended
• lamellar

Areas of application

Since the scope of usefulness of this mechanism is very wide, therefore, its application area is also wide.

At any industrial enterprise the iron separator will serve as a reliable protection of practically any equipment, into the cavity of which a foreign metal object may accidentally fall.

This type of mechanism is widely demanded both in the construction and industrial spheres – for thorough separation of various impurities directly from food products, which guarantees the purity of the resulting material.

Any kind of device will occupy a worthy and necessary place in every enterprise. The simple design does not require special skills, years of experience and trained professional staff for continuous operation.
