Magnetic Drum Separators

November 01, 2014

Eriez says its magnetic drum separators offer an ideal separation solution for metalworking applications that require separation of ferrous parts from abrasive media. A range of models are available in various sizes and strengths to match users' unique application requirements.

The complete line includes models in diameters from 12 to 36 inches (305 to 915mm) and widths from 12 to 60 inches (305 to 1525mm). These units provide effective separation on volumes up to 25,600 cubic feet (725 cubic meters) per hour.

Rare-earth drum separators are the best choice for applications with high purity requirements. RE Drums are made with Erium 3000, a high quality rare earth permanent magnetic power source. Erium 3000 develops magnetic fields up to 25 times stronger than conventional ceramic or alnico units, with no increase in size.

Customer applications dictate the size, capacity and strength of the magnetic drum required. Eriez technicians are always on hand to assist customers throughout the selection process.
