Laboratory High-Intensity Magnetic Separator for Battery Recycling Research
A European mining and technology university has purchased a laboratory-scale Bench Induced Roll Magnetic Separator (BIRS) for use in research projects including the recycling of lithium-ion batteries. The BIRS generates high-intensity magnetic fields up to 2 Tesla (20,000 Gauss), enabling the separation of weakly magnetic particles. The Induced Roll Magnetic Separator (IRS) The Induced Roll…
Read MorePermanent Overband Magnet Selection Criteria
Permanent Overband Magnets are commonplace in most mines and quarries, removing tramp ferrous metal and protecting crushers, screens and conveyors against damage. Overband Magnets are also widely used in recycling, recovering ferrous metals and protecting shredders against metal damage. However, there are many different designs of Permanent Overband Magnet, developed to suit specific applications. Understanding…
