PIPELINE MAGNETIC SEPARATORS, MORE PARTICULARLY TO PIPELINES ALONG WHICH MATERIAL IS CONVEYED

摘要

A pipeline magnetic separator (10) having a magnet 20 including a length (24) that is to extend transverse of the separator chamber (19) to collect metal from flow passing in the direction (13) through the separator (10). The end surface (26) of the magnet (20) is hemispherical and is transverse of a longitudinal axis (33) of the magnet (20). Upstream of the magnet (20) is a flow diverter (25, 29).

主权项

1. A pipeline magnetic separator to remove metal from a flow of product passing through the separator, the separator including:
an inlet to receive the flow; a separator chamber member providing a chamber communicating with the inlet so as to receive the flow; an outlet communicating with the chamber via which product leaves the chamber; and a magnet mounted on the chamber member so as to extend across the chamber and therefore to extend across flow passing through the chamber, the magnet having a length extending across the chamber and an end extremity, the length having a longitudinal axis; and a flow diverter upstream of the magnet to divert flow relative to the magnet.
