ypes of magnetic separators vary as per their design and applications. For the sake of this article, let us focus on the drum-type magnetic separators. Drum-type magnetic separators are the most common separation equipment for industrial fluid filtration. They are used to remove tramp iron and other magnetic particles from a fluid, including granular materials, powders, burrs, or fines. For example, the drum magnet is a stationary 180-degree sector in a rotating shell attached to a shaft driven by a geared motor. The dirty fluid enters one end of the housing and flows along the surface of the drum through the 180-degree sector. Hence, ferrous material is attracted to and held by the magnetic field. At the same time, non-ferrous products flow freely through an exit at the end of the housing.
