Magnetic separator with dynamic baffle system

摘要

A dynamic baffle system for a magnetic separator includes a containment barrier secured to a frame and positioned between a rotary screen drum and a magnetic drum. The dynamic baffle system further includes a baffle configured to block an opening of the containment barrier. The baffle is movable between an open position in which media mixture is capable of flowing from the containment barrier to the magnetic drum and a closed position in which the media mixture is prohibited from flowing from the containment barrier to the magnetic drum and configured to evenly build up on the containment barrier. The dynamic baffle system further includes a sensor and a controller coupled to the sensor and the baffle to control the amount of media mixture flowing from the rotary screen drum to the magnetic drum.

1. A dynamic baffle system for a magnetic separator including a frame, a rotary screen drum secured to the frame and configured to receive abrasive/sand media mixture, and a magnetic drum secured to the frame and positioned below the rotary screen drum, the dynamic baffle system comprising:
at least one containment barrier secured to the frame and positioned between the rotary screen drum and the magnetic drum, the at least one containment barrier having an opening formed therein; a baffle configured to block the opening of the at least one containment barrier, the baffle being movable between an open position in which media mixture is capable of flowing from the at least one containment barrier to the magnetic drum and a closed position in which the media mixture is prohibited from flowing from the at least one containment barrier to the magnetic drum and configured to evenly build up on the at least one containment barrier; a sensor configured to detect a presence of media within the at least one containment barrier; and a controller coupled to the sensor and the baffle to control an amount of media mixture flowing from the rotary screen drum to the magnetic drum via the at least one containment barrier.
