In a method of separating a mixture of powders ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic materials, the powder mixture passes onto a curved surface which extends over a rotating, cylindrical magnet assembly (16) which comprises a plurality of magnets disposed one after another around the circumference of the assembly, with adjacent magnets presenting alternate poles radially outwards. The powder mixture may be poured onto a conveyor belt (10) trained around a drum (12) concentric with the assembly (16) the belt (10) carries the powder mixture around the upper part of the assembly (16), where it is separated into respective components (20, 22). |
