Magnetic separation equipment refers to the use of magnetic devices to separate materials containing magnetism from other materials based on their magnetic characteristics. The mechanical equipment used for this operation is called magnetic separation equipment and is generally used for the production and screening of magnetic minerals such as magnetite. Magnetic separation equipment is generally also called magnetic separator, magnetic separation machinery, etc.

According to the strength of the magnetic field and the intensity of the magnetic field force, it can be divided into weak magnetic field separators and strong magnetic field separators;

According to the sorting medium, it can be divided into dry magnetic separators and wet magnetic separators. Dry magnetic separators are mainly used for sorting in air and are mainly used for sorting large and coarse particles of strong magnetic ores and fine and weak magnetic ores. Wet magnetic separators are used to separate water or magnetic liquids. Mainly used for sorting fine-grained strong magnetic ores and fine-grained weak magnetic ores.

There are many minerals that can be separated by magnetic separation equipment, such as magnetite, limonite, hematite, manganese siderite, ilmenite, scheelite, manganese ore, manganese carbonate ore, metallurgical manganese ore, manganese oxide ore, iron sand ore, kaolin, rare earth ore, etc. The magnetic separation process is achieved through the action of magnetic and mechanical forces on mineral particles in the magnetic field of a magnetic separator. Different magnetic mineral particles move along different trajectories, thus sorting into two or several separate mineral processing products.
