How Magnetic Separator Works
A magnetic separator operates on the principle of magnetic attraction. As mixed material passes over or beneath the magnetic unit mounted on a conveyor, ferrous metals are attracted and lifted by the high-intensity magnetic field. These metal particles are then automatically separated and discharged into a separate collection area, while clean material continues further processing. This ensures uninterrupted plant operation and improved product quality.
Key Benefits of Using a Magnetic Separator
Using a magnetic separator significantly improves the quality of RDF and recyclable materials by removing unwanted ferrous contaminants. It helps protect shredders, crushers, and conveyors from damage, reduces maintenance costs, and minimizes the risk of sparks and fire hazards. The system also increases recovery of valuable metals for recycling, improves plant productivity, and supports safer, more efficient waste processing operations.
