DRUM TYPE MAGNETIC SEPARATOR
Efficient Separation of Iron Contaminants in Bulk Material Handling
Product Overview:
The Drum Type Magnetic Separator is a heavy-duty magnetic separation machine used to remove ferrous particles and contaminants from dry or wet materials. These separators feature a rotating magnetic drum that continuously captures and discharges iron particles, ensuring clean, contaminant-free output.
As a crucial component in slag processing plants, as well as in various industries like mining, recycling, cement, and food processing, this equipment ensures equipment safety, product purity, and efficient material flow.
🔧 Working Principle:
The drum consists of a stationary magnetic arc around which a rotating drum shell carries the feed material. As material passes across the drum, magnetic particles are attracted to the magnetic field and held to the drum’s surface, while non-magnetic materials freely fall away. Magnetic material is then released from the drum once it passes out of the magnetic field—collected in a separate chute.
Depending on the type, the drum can be used for either concentrating magnetic material or removing tramp iron.
🧲 Types We Manufacture:
🔹 Single Drum Magnetic Separator
- Basic magnetic separation.
- Ideal for low to moderate iron contamination.
- Suitable for small to medium throughput.
🔹 Double Drum Magnetic Separator
- Staged separation for higher efficiency.
- Handles large volumes and heavily contaminated materials.
- Best for slag plants and recycling units with continuous feed.
⚙️ Working Principle:
The feed material passes over a rotating drum containing a stationary high-intensity magnetic field. Ferrous impurities are attracted to the magnetic surface and held as the drum rotates. As it leaves the magnetic zone, iron particles drop into a separate collection area, while clean non-magnetic material is discharged forward.

âť“ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Single Drum separators perform basic iron separation. Double Drum types offer two-stage separation—perfect for high-volume and high-contamination applications like slag.
Absolutely. Our machines are specially designed for dry slag and are already in use in major steel plants and metal recovery operations.
Iron is attracted to the drum surface, carried away from the non-magnetic stream, and discharged into a separate bin using gravity.
Not at all. These separators are low maintenance, requiring only periodic cleaning and checks of bearings and the drum shell.
Our permanent magnets retain their strength for 15–20 years or more, depending on usage.
Yes. We design magnetic separators based on your specific material type, conveyor size, and iron load.
