OSENC Magnetic Separation
Housed Permanent Magnetic Drum Separator
Enclosed Continuous Ferrous Separation
A housed permanent magnetic drum receives dry material through an inlet, presents it to a rotating drum containing a stationary magnetic circuit, and divides magnetic and non-magnetic trajectories with an adjustable splitter. Select the system from material behavior, feed distribution, particle size, drum geometry, speed, magnetic arc, wear, and interface drawings.

How the Separation Works
- Material enters the housing through a controlled feed opening.
- A feeder, chute, or deflector distributes it across the drum width.
- Responsive iron is attracted to the rotating shell in the magnetic zone.
- Non-magnetic material follows its normal trajectory.
- The shell carries iron beyond the non-magnetic discharge.
- Iron releases after leaving the effective field and falls into a separate outlet.
Best-Fit Material Conditions
Housed drums are generally reviewed for dry, free-flowing powders, granules, flakes, chips, cullet, or crushed material that can be distributed without severe bridging or uncontrolled impact. Sticky, wet, very hot, pressure-conveyed, weakly magnetic, or highly abrasive feeds require separate engineering and testing.
Specification Inputs
| Input | Selection effect |
|---|---|
| Particle size and liberation | Controls exposure, impact, and trajectory |
| Capacity and bulk density | Controls feed thickness and working width |
| Moisture and flowability | Controls buildup and blockage |
| Drum diameter/width | Controls exposure area and interface |
| Speed | Changes contact time and discharge trajectory |
| Magnetic arc/pole structure | Controls hold and release zones |
| Splitter position | Controls product separation after actual trajectories form |
Capacity Must Include Conditions
Do not accept one universal t/h range without the conditions behind it. Any capacity statement must identify material, particle-size distribution, bulk density, moisture, feed width, feed method, drum speed, layer thickness, and required separation result. Peak surges may govern housing and drum selection even when average flow appears acceptable.
Housing and Mechanical Design
- Inlet, magnetic and non-magnetic outlets, flanges, and overall height
- Drum shaft, bearings, drive, reducer, rotation, and guards
- Inspection doors, cleaning access, lifting, and support frame
- Splitter adjustment and locking
- Wear liners, shell protection, seals, and dust control
- Product-contact materials and surface finish where required
Wear Protection vs Magnetic Gap
A thicker shell, liner, buildup, or protective cover increases distance between the magnetic circuit and target. Review abrasion and magnetic exposure together. Wear parts should be replaceable without changing critical geometry unless the new configuration is revalidated.
Testing and Commissioning
Verify dimensions, interfaces, rotation, runout/operation, drive direction, splitter travel, guards, and magnetic measurements at defined shell points. A representative material test should record feed, speed, width, moisture, settings, collected fractions, and analysis. No-load operation does not prove recovery or purity.
Request a Drum Review
Send material, particle size, capacity, density, moisture, temperature, target iron, inlet/outlet drawing, feed method, available space, wear conditions, cleaning, and required acceptance.
Housed Drum Separator RFQ Inputs
The quotation should describe dry free-flowing feed presented to a rotating magnetic drum and connect each proposed feature to an operating or acceptance requirement.
| Selection logic | Choose top, bottom or other feed arrangement from material trajectory, liberation, enclosure and the required magnetic and nonmagnetic discharge positions. |
|---|---|
| Application inputs | Material, particle distribution, bulk density, moisture, flowability, abrasion, temperature, target response and normal and peak throughput |
| Mechanical interface | Define inlet, feed spreader, working width, drum speed, magnetic arc, splitter, outlets, drive, guards and service access. |
| Cleaning and service | Plan access to the shell, splitter, bearings, drive and wear liners and define how retained or wrapped material is removed. |
| Acceptance method | Agree dimensions, runout, rotation, magnetic measurement positions, no-load operation and representative fraction sampling. |
Project Scope and Supply Boundary
Boundary for Housed Permanent Magnetic Drum Separator
- This is a configurable project page, not a released standard model with universal published performance.
- We confirm the manufacturing route, approved drawing and belt width and speed, burden depth, rated suspension height, largest tramp-iron size, cleaning arrangement and structural interface for the inquiry.
- Dimensions, magnetic values, pull force, capacity, separation result, materials, certification, lead time and warranty become project facts only in traceable quotation, drawing, inspection or order documents.
What We Need to Configure This Project
Input set for Housed Permanent Magnetic Drum Separator
- How we use your data: We compare your material, contamination risk, production target and line interface before we configure a proposal or rule out an unsuitable option.
- Material: name and composition; dry or wet; powder, granule, lump, fibre or slurry; minimum, maximum and typical particle distribution; moisture, stickiness, tendency to cake or bridge, abrasiveness, corrosiveness, bulk density, normal temperature and maximum temperature.
- Production and target: normal and peak throughput, continuous or batch feed, feed uniformity, contaminant or recovery target, magnetic response if known, typical and maximum target size, initial concentration, acceptable residual and whether product loss is permitted.
- Installation: belt width and speed, normal and maximum burden depth, magnet position and rated working distance, available suspension and maintenance space, support and lifting arrangement; cleaning method, permitted shutdown, contact-material, wear and corrosion requirements; indoor, outdoor, washdown, high-humidity, dusty or hazardous-area conditions.
- Supporting project files: drive voltage, frequency and phase where a self-cleaning unit is considered; control interface and any site air requirement; destination country; current drawings, site photographs, running video and a representative material/contaminant sample when testing is needed.
- What you receive next: We use the confirmed inputs to prepare a project-specific drawing and inspection plan. We do not treat performance as confirmed until the agreed design and any required representative test or site acceptance establish the result.
Project Support
Send your drawing, material data or installation photo
We will review the product structure, magnetic circuit direction, cleaning method, material contact requirements and inspection items before preparing a quotation.
