• Generates background magnetic fields up to 10,000 Gauss, amplified 3–4 times on the matrix for higher separation efficiency
• Remove problematic magnetic particles as small as 0-500 microns
• Automated cleaning cycles for continuous processing
• Electromagnetic coil induces an intense magnetic field onto the matrix
• Slurry pumped through matrix, magnetic particles attracted and captured
• Periodic cleaning cycles flush out captured particles
• Can be set up in pairs for non-stop operation
• More effective than permanent magnetic separators
• Removes very fine iron and paramagnetic minerals
• Improves purity of ceramic materials and industrial minerals
• Automated operation with programmable controls
• Cleaning ceramic glazes and slips
• Purifying mineral slurries like silica sand, feldspar, kaolin, etc.
• Removing contaminants from ball clay, calcium carbonate, talc

Includes a removable jib crane for easy removal of the top pole and matrix assembly for maintenance and cleanings.

Automated back flush cleaning cycle to clean captured contaminants off the matrix.

Electromagnetic filters provide highly effective removal of fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from ceramic slips, glazes, and industrial mineral slurries. Key features include:

For industries requiring high-purity materials, electromagnetic filters offer powerful magnetic separation capabilities to remove even the finest magnetic contaminants. Their adjustable field strength and automated operation make them ideal for a wide range of ceramic and mineral processing applications.

High Magnetic Field Strength : Offers a range of background magnetic field strengths from 3,500 to 10,000 gauss for effective separation of fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from liquids and slurries.

Applications : Used to remove fine iron and paramagnetic minerals from non-metallic mineral slurries.

Efficient Separation : Higher separation efficiency than permanent magnetic separators by generating significant background magnetic field strength, and a high-magnetic field gradient on the matrix surface.

Back Flush Cleaning : Automated back flush cleaning cycle to clean captured contaminants off the matrix. Cycle times can be adjusted via the HMI to suit application needs.

Energy Efficiency : Utilizes highly efficient computer-designed coils paired with a water over oil heat exchange to maintain optimal operating temperature.

Controlled Operation : Can be fully automated using a control system with a Siemens S7-1200 PLC and HMI for managing cleaning frequency and parameters.

Valve Configurations : Available in 4-valve to 8-valve configurations to suit different applications.

Testing Facilities : Bunting offers controlled tests on laboratory-sized filters to confirm separation capabilities.
