<p>The invention provides an apparatus (10) for removing magnetic particles from a fluid such as a liquid or slurry. The apparatus (10) includes an inlet port (13) through which fluid is admitted to the apparatus (10). A flat-bed (11) receives the fluid admitted, the flat-bed (11) having side walls to prevent the fluid from flowing off. One or more magnets (30) are located beneath the flat-bed surface and attract magnetic particles against the upper surface of the bed (11). An endless belt or chain (53) driven by a motor carries cleaning means (40) which engage the surface of the bed (11) and particles attracted by the or each magnet (30) along the surface until the particles drop off the end of the bed (11). Jets of air are directed against the flat bed surface to reduce the amount of fluid being carried along with the cleaning means (40).</p> |
