Eriez® 5-Star Service Center Maintains Magnetic Strength of Wet Drum Separators with Repairs and Upgrades


Erie, Pa. - Restoring older Wet Drum Separators to their previous magnetic strength can now be handled through Eriez' 5-Star Service Center. The Center is located in Lake City, PA. and is staffed with trained service technicians to expertly handle even the toughest service projects.

There are two distinct applications for Wet Drum Magnetic Separators. One application is the recovery of magnetite or ferrosilicon in a heavy media process. The other is the concentration and recovery of magnetite from iron ore. Over time, Wet Drum Separators used in harsh industrial environments lose their magnetic efficiency, but it can be restored with proper maintenance.

To keep the magnetic power at an optimum level, the Eriez 5-Star Service Center now offers a comprehensive maintenance program for Wet Drum Separators. Portions of the maintenance program include:

o Perform a visual inspection of shell, hubs, bearings and shaft end

o Remove hubs to inspect the magnetic element for damage

o Upgrade magnetic element and replace shell, if necessary

o Test the wet drum separator and ship back to customer

"Our team is ready to do whatever it takes to address customers' issues and limit costly downtime of their Wet Drums," said Jim Lasko, Eriez 5-Star Service Center Manager. "We utilize original OEM parts, remanufacture equipment to original specifications and offer 'as new' warranties."

Eriez also has service technicians available for in-house repairs and routine maintenance checks. "We understand that sending the equipment to our 5-Star Service Center is not always a viable option, so Eriez will come to you, even on short notice," said Dave Hansen, Eriez Customer Service Manager.

Besides Wet Drum Separators, the 5-Star Service Center upgrades and maintains other Eriez equipment, including Eddy Currents, Suspended Electromagnets, Scrap Drums, Vibratory Feeders, Lift Magnets and Metal Detectors.
