As there is minimal gap between the outer stainless steel skin and the magnet assemblies, any chink in the outer skin can cause damage to the magnets within. Chinks in the drum skin may result from bolts or washers entering the system during operation, inexact lifting of the drums when installing or replacing and force applied to the skin during storage.

Internal leaking means the magnetite is able to enter the inside of the drum through the shaft seal, damaged outer skin or via the seal between the end cap and outer skin reducing magnetic drum efficiency.

The incorrect installation of magnets within the individual assemblies also reduces magnetic drum efficiency. Excessive heat directed onto magnetic material will decrease its magnetic properties.

We at 1st Choice Engineering, provide cost-effective magnetic drum separator rebuilding and replacement.
