Wet drum separators

SorTek CT wet drum separators are designed for very fine-grained components. It concentrates the material to a highly enriched sludge. It is also applied for the recovery of the heavy media. Its powerful neodymium magnet system ensures reliable recovery for the magnetic material.

Applications

Ground waste incineration slag, filter concentrates, minerals, coal

Technology

The liquid flows through a semi-circular separating chamber beneath a stainless steel drum to which the magnetisable particles are bound. A cylinder consisting of permanent magnetic discs positioned within the drum creates the strong, high-gradient magnetic field. The special permanent magnets generate particularly high field gradients, which are crucial for successful separation, as is the case with all magnetic separators. By rotating the drum, the filter cake is lifted out of the slurry and the magnetic field.
