How Does a Three-Disc Electromagnetic Separator Work?

/in /by

The Core Material: High-Quality Copper Coil

The key to a stable and powerful magnetic field lies in the copper coil material. In Dasen Mining’s three-disc electromagnetic separator, each coil is made from high-conductivity copper, which allows for strong magnetic output and long service life.
This design ensures continuous separation performance even under long working hours in tough mining environments.

Magnetic Intensity: Up to 23,000 Gauss

One of the most exciting features of Dasen’s separator is its high magnetic intensity.
The machine’s magnetic strength usually ranges from 20,000 to 22,000 gauss, and in some cases, it can reach 23,000 gauss.
This high-level magnetic field enables effective separation of titanium, tungsten, tin, and other weakly magnetic minerals, ensuring maximum recovery rate and concentrate purity.

Disc Rotation Speed (RPM) and Control Mechanism

The disc RPM of the three-disc electromagnetic separator is usually fixed before delivery based on the customer’s processing needs.

  • Once set, the machine works continuously with that speed.
  • However, if customers require a different disc RPM, Dasen Mining can manufacture another speed disc module and deliver it together.
  • The additional disc part costs USD 50 per set, and customers can easily replace it on-site when needed.

This flexibility helps mine operators customize their separation process according to specific ore characteristics.

Independent Magnetic Control for Each Disc

The three discs in the separator cannot be moved, but their magnetic field intensities can be adjusted via a precise mechanism underneath.

There are four separate copper wire bundles and four corresponding adjustment handles.

  • To adjust the first disc, use the handles for the 1st and 2nd wire bundles.
  • To adjust the third disc, use the handles for the 3rd and 4th wire bundles.

This setup allows fine-tuning of the magnetic intensity for each disc area, helping achieve high sorting accuracy for different materials.

Cooling System and Insulation Protection

The three-disc electromagnetic separator is designed for continuous operation, supported by durable motor and insulation components.

  • The motor comes with a one-year warranty, covering non-human damages.
  • The coils are protected by insulating paint and insulating paper, ensuring safety and thermal stability under high temperatures.

With proper maintenance, the separator can operate stably for years in demanding mineral separation sites.

Feed Size and Moisture Requirements

To achieve the best separation performance:

  • The feed size should be less than 2 mm.
  • The materials must be 100% dry before feeding — drying under the sun or using an industrial dryer is essential.

Wet materials can easily reduce separation efficiency or damage the machine, so moisture control is a key step in operation.
