High-Intensity Magnetic Separator (R-INOX)

The high-intensity magnetic separator for very low ferrous metals (R-INOX) has a high remanence drum with intensely powerful magnets, allowing for the separation of ferrous metal from slightly ferrous (similar to stainless) and inert metals.

Among metals, we can consider ferrous metals as the elements with the highest percentage and the most easily capturable by magnetic fields.

However, slightly ferrous metal, similar to stainless steel, sometimes poses a great challenge to separate, either due to its low magnetic remanence or even because it's adhered, proportionally, to large non-ferrous fragments that hinder its process and separation.

Aware of this problem, we have developed a complete range of high-intensity magnetic separators for the separation and recycling of slightly ferrous or very low ferrous metals (R-INOX), similar to Stainless, for the separation, recycling, and recovery of the same.

The physical principle of the operation of the high-intensity separator (R-INOX) is the creation, in the output drum at the end of the conveyor belt, of an intense magnetic field that acts on ferrous metals and also on slightly ferrous metals, such as stainless steel.

The separator of very low ferrous metals (R-INOX) consists of a robust metallic structure. This structure supports two drums and the conveyor belt itself. The conveyor belt slides over an anti-magnetic stainless steel table, ensuring perfect horizontality. In addition, it has an automatic belt-centering maintenance system to ensure proper functioning.

The output drum is a magnetic roller composed of Neodymium-Iron-Boron (NdFeB) magnets, in carefully studied configurations; magnets that provide the highest energy on the market. This intense magnetic power also ensures that small ferrous material that other equipment, like an Overband, has not been able to attract and separate can be separated.

We offer high-intensity magnetic separators with effective working widths of up to 2,500 mm and with different drums, adapted to the flow rates and characteristics of the materials that need to be processed. That's why there are devices working in sectors as diverse as WEEE, ELV, wood, plastic, etc.

In addition to the separation of materials similar to stainless steel, other usual applications of the separator of very low ferrous metals (R-INOX) are, for example:

• In wood treatment, after pre-shredding, the R-INOX equipment allows for the separation of wood fragments that have some small ferrous residue embedded (nail, rivet...).
• When processing aluminum profiles, they often have nails and rivets of polluting ferrous metal adhered. With the R-INOX equipment, these profiles are separated from the material flow.

The material flow, upon reaching the output roller, is subjected to the intense magnetic field generated in the drum, resulting in the following behavior in the high-intensity magnetic separator:

Slightly ferrous metals (stainless): Are influenced by the intense magnetic field. Their trajectory is of falling with retention, and therefore they stay between the "non-metals" and "very ferrous metals".

Very ferrous metals: Are attracted by the intense magnetic field and are collected in the space between the two rollers of the equipment and towards the end of the equipment.

Non-Metals: Do not suffer magnetic influence and fall from the belt following their natural ballistic trajectory.
