Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separator (WHIMS) & Wet Slurry Separator

Wet slurry electro magnetic separator

Slurry flows through a semicircular chamber under a rotating stainless steel drum with a fixed magnet assembly inside. Magnetic particles are drawn to the drum and discharged separately, and non-magnetic liquid leaves by its own outlet. A cylinder of permanent magnetic discs inside the drum creates the strong, high-gradient field. The separator also handles abrasive media mixed with water, such as the water recovered from blast cabinets.

Wet high intensity magnetic separator

WHIMS units are used to separate magnetically susceptible particles from mineral slurries and process water. They can be installed without disturbing the existing line, built to match conveyor dimensions, and supplied in varying sizes. Fewer separators, pumps and pulp distributors are needed than with lower-intensity circuits, which cuts floor space, building and operating costs.
