Magnetic Separator reduces downstream equipment damage.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Fri, 17 Jun 2005 08:01:03 -0500

Trunnion Magnet Separator removes up to 98% of grinding media steel balls and ferrous chips from milled ore in SAG/ball mill operations. Positioned at downstream end of mill, arc of permanent magnets surrounding almost half of blind trunnion extension attracts and holds steel balls to inner surface of trunnion. Steel balls are carried to top of trunnion, where magnetic arc terminates, thereby releasing balls that then fall into hopper and chute.
