Electromagnetic Drum
The electromagnetic drum consists of stationary electromagnetic coils enclosed in a steel shield.
The drum rotates around a stationary electromagnetic coil at a speed determined by the volume of material being processed.
For maximum energy and induction efficiency, the computer-designed electromagnetic coil consists of a mild steel core wound with Nomex-coated aluminum wire or anodized aluminum foil. The magnetic system remains fixed within rotating covers.
Electromagnetic Drum Separators are designed for use in challenging and heavy processes where ferrous metals are large and angular. The material is removed from the process by means of a very strong and deep magnetic field generated by electromagnetic coils. During operation, the material is fed into the equipment from one of three different points, depending on the process configuration. The three different feeding arrangements are as follows:
The material is fed into the electromagnetic drum from the top. The magnetic material exits from the bottom of the drum.
It is pulled and held in the core of the drum before being discharged;
Material is fed towards the center of the Electromagnetic Drum. The magnetic material drawn in is fed into the drum.
conversely, it is emptied;
Material is fed into the Electromagnetic Drum from underneath. Magnetic material is captured and encased in the drum's armor.
It is held and then lifted upwards and the scrap is unloaded from the top of the drum;
In all three configurations, non-magnetic materials freely follow their normal trajectories.
It will fall forward.
APPLICATIONS:
Electromagnetic Drum Separators are used in the recycling industry, particularly in the following applications:
It is widely used in difficult and demanding processes, such as:
● Automobile and vehicle dismantling facilities.
● Household Waste Incineration Plants.
● Household Waste Recycling Processes.
● Steel mills that recover steel from slag.
● Scrap sorting facilities.
