Bunting’s Induced Roll Separator offers continuous extraction of magnetic particles for optimal mineral purification. The induced roll separator continuously extracts small magnetic particles from minerals being processed, resulting in a final mineral product of exceptional purity. This separator is an excellent choice for implementation in a wide range of mineral and ceramic processing industries. Most commonly, the induced roll separator is used to separate weakly magnetic or paramagnetic minerals from non-magnetic minerals when material is in a dry state. These non-metallic minerals are widely used in the production of plastics, ceramics, paper, glass, and many other common materials. Feldspar and silica sand are examples of minerals that are typically processed.
While in operation, magnetic material attaches itself onto the roll face, or is deflected towards the roll. Any material that is non-magnetic is thrown from the face of the roll at a normal trajectory. When magnetic material reaches a point of lower magnetic intensity, it is discharged off the roll face (aided by a brush). Between the two product streams, a splitter plate is interposed.
