The magnetic separator is a screening device for removing iron powder and the like in the reuse of powder granules. Magnetic separator is widely used in resource recovery, wood, mining, kiln, chemical, food and other factories. It is suitable for wet magnetic materials such as magnetite, pyrrhotite, roasting ore, ilmenite and other materials with a particle size of 3mm or less selected. It is also used in iron removal operations for coal, non-metallic minerals, building materials and other materials. It is one of the most widely used and highly versatile models in the industry.

The structure of the external magnetic system of the magnetic separator eliminates the groove components of the conventional wet magnetic separator, reduces the consumption of expensive non-magnetic magnetic steel, and can greatly reduce the raw material procurement cost of the equipment. In addition, since the magnetic system is arranged on the outer side of the cylinder, the processing and adjustment of the magnetic system are more convenient and flexible, and the processing and manufacturing cost of the whole equipment can be greatly reduced. Reasonable cylinder rotation speed has a great influence on the magnetic separation recovery efficiency, and it mainly depends on the processing volume of the magnetic separator.
At the rated throughput, the loss of magnetite is large under the condition of low cylinder rotation speed. This is because the drag force of the cylinder on the concentrate is small at the low cylinder speed, so the discharge capacity of the magnetic separator is low. . The loss of magnetite concentrate is caused by the mismatch between the ore supply and the unloading capacity, and the loss is considerable. If the magnetite feeding rate is lowered, the loss of magnetite will be greatly reduced by using the low cylinder speed. Generally, the rotational speed of the domestic wet-type magnetic separator is: When the cylinder diameter is 1050 mm, the rotation speed is 20 r/min. When the cylinder diameter is 1200 mm, the rotation speed is 17 r/min. When the cylinder is rotated at different speeds, there are three basic motion patterns in the material inside the cylinder.
In the first case, when the rotation speed is high, the centrifugal force causes the material (magnetic and non-magnetic and slurry) to rotate with the cylinder, and the whole material forms a ring which is closely attached to the inner wall of the cylinder, which is called "turning state". At this time, the magnetic medium and the solid particles in the feed together are in close contact with the inner surface of the cylinder. The recovered magnetic concentrate is entrained with a large amount of non-magnetic materials, and the grade reduction affects the stability of the system density. The material bonded to the inner surface of the cylinder reduces the effective sorting space and affects the processing capacity of the magnetic separator. If the bonding layer is too thick to exceed the handling capacity of the device, the amount of media loss of the system will increase.
The second form is: When the rotation speed is very slow, the material rotates along the inner wall of the cylinder only to a small height. When the friction between the material and the inner wall of the cylinder is equal to the dynamic friction angle, the material slides down, which is called a “slip state". At this time, the carrying capacity of the magnetic medium is weakened, resulting in a decrease in the unloading capacity and an increase in the amount of medium loss.
The third case is: The cylinder speed is relatively moderate, the material can rise to a certain height, and the material has a sufficient sorting path in the circumferential direction. After the magnetic particles and the non-magnetic particles are sufficiently separated, the non-magnetic particles fall in the circumferential direction under the action of their own inertial force, which is called a "drop state". At this point, it is most beneficial for sorting.
