Magnetic drum separator
Metso's Mining and Construction Technology

Metso's LIMS dry drum low intensity magnetic separators consists of a stationary magnetic yoke with a number of permanent magnets placed inside a rotating drum of non-magnetic material.

LIMS dry drum low intensity magnetic separators are suitable for:

* Separation of ferromagnetic ores with particle sizes finer than 20 mm.
* Iron and steel slag treatment
* Reduced pyrite ash separation
* Calcined ilmenite production
* Metal powder production
* Supergrade magnetic concentrate production
* Removal of ferromagnetic particles prior to High
* Intesity Magnetic Separation
* Control of iron contamination in glass sand production

Main benefits of LIMS dry drum low intensity magnetic separators are:

* Efficient separation can be obtained with particle sizes in the range of 0.01 to 25 mm
* By utilizing separators with different drum speeds, it is often possible to obtain a high grade concentrate with middlings and tailings as separate products
* Often, dry magnetic separation can be more flexible than conventional wet magnetic separation and can provide large savings in grinding costs by recovering the valuable minerals at an early process stage.
