Devices and Methods for Removing Ferromagnetic Particles from a Liquid

摘要

Devices and methods to remove ferromagnetic particles from a liquid. The device generally includes a container that may include an inlet for the introduction of the liquid and ferromagnetic materials and an outlet from which the cleaned liquid flows from the container. A magnet may be positioned in the container and is configured to attract the ferromagnetic materials. The magnet may be further configured to move and to release the materials into a collection basin. The ferromagnetic material may be removed from the collection basin with the cleaned liquid being moved through the outlet.

主权项

1. A device to remove ferromagnetic particles from a liquid, the device comprising:
a container to hold the liquid as the liquid moves in a horizontal downstream direction through the container, the container comprising a channel with a floor and a collection basin, the collection basin having a bottom positioned vertically below the floor, the floor comprising a first section located upstream from the collection basin and a second section located downstream from the collection basin; and a magnet positioned along the first section and vertically above the bottom of the collection basin, the magnet comprising a body that extends across the channel and having a plurality of magnet rows that extend along the body and are spaced apart around a periphery of the body, the magnet being isolated from the ferromagnetic particles by the floor of the first section; the body being rotatable relative to the floor of the first section such that each of the magnet rows faces towards the channel for a limited time during a full rotation of the body.
