This device continuously separates dry ferromagnetic particles from dry non-ferromagnetic particles. A commingled mixture of 12 mesh or smaller classified ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic particles enters into the feed hopper located on the highest point. The interchangeable feed hopper acts as a storage reservoir as well as a flow rate controller. A smaller 1/8 funnel opening is appropriate when the incoming iron content is above 50% . A 1/2 ” funnel opening is suitable when the incoming iron content is below 50%. As the material exits the funnel, gravity pulls the particles through an induced magnetic field. The non-ferromagnetic particles course is not altered and drops straight into the “Ore Pan.” The ferromagnetic particles migrate towards the magnet while they are in the magnetic field. Once the particles reach the flume’s sidewall (closest to the magnet), they are directed up, over, and into the adjacent flume. Once in the adjoining flume, gravity continues pulling the particles until they eventually break away from the magnet and fall into the (Ferromagnetic Concentrate Jar).As the unit is in operation, the operator must observe that no ferromagnetic particles drop into the Ore Pan. It is recommended that the user replaces the funnel with a smaller opening if ferromagnetic particles are falling into the Ore Pan. Threads to help move the ferromagnetic material move down and across the magnet. The threads also break up the magnetic field lines that would stall out the rotational momentum of ferromagnetic material Barrier so that to more evenly split up the material & external shroud. Adjustable power supply for magnet speed. 3x concentration funnels on the ferromagnetic side.
