MAGNETIC SEPARATOR WITH AUTOMATIC CLEANING

With each magnetic separator, we should pay attention to how quickly the separator becomes clogged with metal contamination. It is worth observing this and determining at what intervals the metal separator needs to be cleaned, if we are not talking about a metal separator with automatic cleaning. For separators with automatic cleaning, this period is defined as a cleaning interval by the system, and the separator is automatically freed of metal impurities at intervals.

If it is an automatic metal separator, you have to be careful what interval you set, because it can cause serious problems if you set this interval for a long term:

  • The magnetic separator can become clogged, resulting in the system not being able to clean itself sufficiently, and iron contamination can enter the product.
  • If the correct interval is not set, the magnets will slowly fill with iron impurities and therefore cannot separate the impurities sufficiently.
  • If too large a piece of metal becomes stuck, the help of a mechanic may be required, as the automatic separator can be easily destroyed as metal contamination can become stuck in places where it can only be removed by disassembly.

We recommend using shorter cleaning intervals!

The main thing to consider when setting the cleaning interval is the degree of contamination of the input material and how often metal contamination accumulates with the ferromagnetic particles of the separator. In the case of automatic cleaning separators, this period is determined as the cleaning interval by the system and the separator is automatically freed of trapped iron particles at regular intervals.
