DISK-TYPE MAGNETIC SEPARATOR

摘要

A magnetic separator made up of a disk in the shape of a cone with a downwardly extending cylindrical skirt. A circular trough with a drain is supported below the skirt. A feed pipe is supported above the center of the disk and a conical boss extends up into the feed pipe to distribute the material over the top of the disk where it flows downward over the cone to the trough. Spaced arcuate magnets are supported above and below the disk so they distribute magnetic fields through the disk and attract magnetic as well as some non-magnetic material. In a second embodiment, radial magnets are supported above and below the disk. The invention disclosed herein concerns the creation of high gradient type magnetic fields and the ability to adjust these fields to best suit the magnetic materials to be separated.
