LIPU magnetic separators are designed for mineral beneficiation, magnetic recovery, and iron removal applications. They can be used for wet or dry separation of magnetic and weakly magnetic materials in mining and industrial mineral processing.
Different separator types can be selected according to mineral characteristics, feed size, magnetic susceptibility, required capacity, and process conditions.
A magnetic separator is mineral processing equipment that separates materials according to differences in magnetic properties.
When material passes through a magnetic field, magnetic particles are attracted toward the magnetic system, while non-magnetic or weakly magnetic particles follow a different path.
Magnetic separation is commonly used for:
The correct separator depends on the magnetic properties of the material and whether the process is wet or dry.
LIPU magnetic separators can be configured for different mineral processing and purification applications.
Wet drum magnetic separators process material in slurry form.
They are commonly used after grinding and classification for the recovery of strongly magnetic minerals such as magnetite.
Typical applications include:
The drum rotates through the slurry while the internal magnetic system attracts magnetic particles to the drum surface. Magnetic material is carried to the discharge area, while non-magnetic material leaves through a separate path.
Dry magnetic separators process material without adding water.
They can be used where water is limited or where the material should remain dry.
Typical applications include:
Dry separation performance depends strongly on feed size, moisture, material distribution, and magnetic field intensity.
LIPU magnetic separators can be used for a range of metallic ores and industrial minerals.
Typical materials include:
Typical applications include:
The required magnetic field intensity and separator configuration depend on the magnetic susceptibility of the target mineral and the material to be rejected.
Material enters the magnetic separation zone and passes through a controlled magnetic field.
Magnetic particles are attracted by the magnetic system, while non-magnetic particles are less affected and follow a different discharge path.
In a wet drum magnetic separator, slurry enters the separation tank and contacts the rotating drum.
The internal magnetic system attracts magnetic particles to the drum surface. As the drum rotates, the magnetic material is carried away from the feed zone and discharged separately.
Non-magnetic material remains in the slurry and exits through the tailings side.
In dry magnetic separation, material is fed in a dry and controlled layer. Magnetic and non-magnetic particles are separated according to their response to the magnetic field.
A typical wet drum magnetic separator includes:
The magnetic system provides the separation force, while the rotating drum transports attracted magnetic particles toward the discharge area.
The exact structure varies according to separator type and application.
Wet and dry magnetic separation are used under different process conditions.
| Factor | Wet Magnetic Separation | Dry Magnetic Separation |
|---|---|---|
| Feed condition | Slurry | Dry material |
| Typical particle condition | Fine or ground material | Dry granular material |
| Water requirement | Requires process water | No process water required |
| Common application | Mineral beneficiation | Pre-concentration and purification |
| Typical use | Magnetite recovery and wet circuits | Iron removal and dry mineral processing |
Wet magnetic separation is often used after grinding and classification in mineral processing plants.
Dry magnetic separation can be useful before grinding, in dry pre-concentration, or in industrial mineral purification where water is not desirable.
The final choice should be based on mineral characteristics, feed size, moisture, process requirements, and water availability.
A magnetic separator normally works as part of a complete mineral processing system.
A typical wet magnetic separation process may be arranged as:
Crushing → Grinding → Classification → Magnetic Separation → Concentrate Dewatering
For example:
Jaw Crusher → Ball Mill → Spiral Classifier or Hydrocyclone → Magnetic Separator → Thickening → Filtration
For dry pre-concentration, the process may be simpler:
Crushing → Screening → Dry Magnetic Separation
The actual process depends on mineral type, liberation size, magnetic properties, required concentrate quality, and final product requirements.
For some ores, magnetic separation may also be combined with flotation, gravity separation, or other beneficiation methods.
Magnetic separator selection depends on drum size, magnetic field intensity, feed size, processing capacity, mineral characteristics, and operating conditions.

Actual processing capacity may vary according to feed size, pulp concentration, mineral properties, and separation requirements. The technical parameters should therefore be used for preliminary model selection.
Selecting a magnetic separator should begin with the magnetic properties of the material rather than capacity alone.
For preliminary equipment selection, please provide:
Important selection factors include:
Mineral Magnetic Properties
Strongly magnetic minerals and weakly magnetic minerals may require different magnetic field strengths and separator configurations.
Feed Size
Particle size affects both mineral liberation and separation performance. The feed should match the selected separator and process stage.
Wet or Dry Process
Wet separators are suitable for slurry-based beneficiation circuits, while dry separators are more suitable for dry feed, pre-concentration, or mineral purification.
Magnetic Field Intensity
Different minerals respond differently to magnetic fields. The required magnetic intensity should be matched to the target mineral.
Required Product Quality
Separator selection also depends on whether the objective is concentrate recovery, impurity removal, pre-concentration, or product purification.
Whenever possible, mineral analysis or separation test data should be used to support equipment selection.
LIPU Heavy Industry provides equipment for crushing, grinding, classification, magnetic separation, flotation, gravity separation, thickening, and dewatering.
For magnetic separation projects, LIPU can assist with:
For complete beneficiation projects, magnetic separators can be matched with upstream crushing and grinding equipment as well as downstream concentrate handling equipment.
The objective is to select the separator according to the complete mineral processing flow rather than treating it as an isolated machine.
What minerals can be processed by a magnetic separator?
Magnetic separators are commonly used for magnetite, hematite, limonite, ilmenite, manganese minerals, iron-bearing ores, and iron removal from quartz, feldspar, and other industrial minerals.
What is the difference between wet and dry magnetic separation?
Wet magnetic separation processes material in slurry form and is commonly used in beneficiation circuits. Dry magnetic separation treats dry material and is often used for pre-concentration or impurity removal.
Can a magnetic separator process weakly magnetic minerals?
Yes, but weakly magnetic minerals generally require a suitable high-intensity magnetic separation configuration. The correct equipment should be selected according to mineral magnetic susceptibility and test results.
What information is needed to select a magnetic separator?
Useful information includes material type, mineral composition, magnetic properties, feed size, capacity, wet or dry process, and the required separation result.
Can LIPU provide a complete magnetic separation line?
Yes. LIPU can provide equipment matching for crushing, grinding, classification, magnetic separation, thickening, filtration, and related mineral processing stages.
