Automate your metal separation process with our Custom Dry Drum Magnetic Separators.
Suitable for the continuous purification of free-flowing bulk materials.
Such as grain, flour, plastic pellets, and crushed ore.
These systems provide efficient, self-cleaning magnetic protection.
And not interrupting your production line.
Static grate magnets require manual cleaning.
Our drum separators feature a rotating stainless steel shell around a stationary internal magnet arc (180°).
As material flows over the drum, ferrous contaminants will be:
– Captured by the magnetic field
– Carried over the top
– And discharged into a separate waste chute
Meanwhile, the clean product drops naturally.
The result is a zero-downtime solution for high-volume processing lines.
Engineering & Manufacturing Capabilities
Stationary Magnet / Rotating Shell:
The internal magnetic element remains fixed.
Typically covering a 135° to 180° arc.
Meanwhile, the outer shell rotates.
This ensures the magnetic field is always focused on the product stream, maximizing efficiency.
Dust-Tight Housing:
Some applications involve fine powders (sugar, flour, chemicals).
We manufacture fully enclosed, dust-tight housings in Stainless Steel 304/316 or Mild Steel.
These housings feature flanged inlet/outlet ports.
They feature seamless integration into your ductwork.
Prevent product loss and airborne dust.
Precision Splitter Gate:
The boundary between “Clean Product” and “Rejected Iron” is thin.
We integrate an adjustable splitter gate (diverter flap).
It allows operators to fine-tune the separation trajectory.
Ensure minimal product loss while maximizing iron recovery.
Customization Options
A. Magnetic Circuit Options
Ferrite (Ceramic) Assembly:
Deep-reach magnetic circuits for removing large tramp iron from recycling streams or animal feed.
Examples include nails, bolts, washers.
Rare Earth (Neodymium) Assembly:
High-gradient circuits (up to 12,000 Gauss) for removing:
– Fine ferrous dust
– Weakly magnetic oxides
– Work-hardened stainless steel from food and pharma products.
Hybrid Circuits:
Alternating poles of Ferrite and Neo to agitate the material (“flip-flop” effect)
Shake loose entrapped product from the iron.
B. Wear Protection (Abrasive Materials)
Standard:
SS304 Shell with transverse cleats (to help carry iron out).
Heavy Duty:
Manganese Steel or Ceramic-Lined Shells for processing abrasive aggregates, sand.
Or crushed glass where standard stainless would wear through.
Rubber Lining:
For noise reduction and impact absorption in larger recycling drums.
C. Feed & Drive Integration
Vibratory Feeder Interface:
A drum works best with a uniform “curtain” of material.
We can integrate a vibratory feeder tray directly onto the housing inlet.
Spread the material evenly across the full width of the drum.
Drive Systems:
Direct shaft-mounted gearmotors (SEW/Nord).
Or chain-and-sprocket drives, fully guarded for safety.

A drum separator pays for itself by reclaiming product and protecting downstream crushers/mills 24/7.
