Low Intensity Magnetic Separators, LIMS, are designed to recover magnetic material from non-magnetic matter. The separators have modular design with several frames and process tank designs using a common magnetic drum for ease of selection of the best machine for each individual application. Low Intensity Magnetic Separators Metso Outotec LIMS are designed around the revolving magnetic drum with an internally stationary magnetic array. They are available in several types for vast number of duties and could be seen as split into two categories, dry separation and wet separation. The dry models are intended predominantly for material 2 to 200 millimeters in dry or nearly dry state like crushed iron ore. The wet versions are designed for material of a few micrometer size to less than around 6 - 8 millimeters suspended in water. For both separator types two magnetic systems are available for highest possible efficiency of each application. Benefits High capacity LIMS have proven to have outstandingly high capacity thus fewer machines are required. Separation selectivity Excellent selectivity between magnetic and non-magnetic material. Since fewer machines are in service, less maintenance is required and lower capital and operating costs are achieved. Ease of operation Designed to allow normal variations in feed conditions without the need of any adjustment. Low maintenance costs Protected against wear by rubber linings of the tanks and rubber or steel covering of the drums. Bearings are designed for extremely long duty and the lubrication can easily be automated.
