How a Magnetic Separator Works

How a Magnetic Separator Works

Here’s how a Magnetic Separator works, as demonstrated by Mike Glenn from ActionMiningServices.

It’s an excellent machine for separating magnetic materials from concentrates.

It takes out naturally-occurring magnetic minerals like Magnetite, as well as tramp metal steel filings from processing equipment wear.

Removing magnetics like these from gold concentrates allows the gold to be much more easily recovered. It’s an efficiency booster!
