The GUNT Magnetic Separation Trainer demonstrates sorting of solid compounds based on magnetic properties. The unit features a feed hopper supplying material to a vibrating trough that conveys it onto a rotating non-magnetic drum with adjustable speed. A fixed permanent magnet positioned along the drum’s rotation path separates magnetisable particles from non-magnetic ones. Non-magnetic components drop by gravity into one collector tank, while magnetisable particles adhere to the drum and are carried beyond the magnetic zone to a separate collection tank. Feed mass flow is adjustable via hopper outlet distance and vibrating trough settings. A mixture of sand and small steel parts, such as hex nuts, is recommended as feed material.
Product Features
- During sorting, a solid compound is separated according to its material characteristics
- Magnetic separation utilises the magnetisability of solid compound components
- Commonly used in coal and ore preparation
- Solid compound charged into feed hopper
- Vibrating trough conveys the compound onto a rotating non-magnetic drum
- Drum speed adjustable via potentiometer
- Fixed permanent magnet located on one area of the drum
- Non-magnetisable components drop by gravity into a collector tank
- Magnetisable components adhere to drum in magnetic zone, then drop into a different tank beyond it
- Mass flow of feed material adjustable by hopper outlet distance from vibrating trough and trough throw/frequency
- Recommended feed material is a mixture of sand and small steel items, such as hexagon nuts
