Inline Magnetic Separators for Slurry and Pneumatic Lines: Real Process Integration Examples
In many industries, the materials are transported through the pipeline in slurry form or through pneumatic conveying. During the handling or transportation of the materials, sometimes small metal pieces may get mixed into the system, thereby damaging the equipment. To mitigate this kind of risk, different industries use magnetic separation systems in their processing lines. One of these is an inline magnetic separator , which is placed within the pipeline. The materials pass through it, allowing magnetic particles to be filtered out as the rest of the materials continue moving. Inline Magnetic Separation in Continuous Flow Systems In the case of slurry pipelines and pneumatic conveying lines, the material is commonly transported in closed tubes at a constant rate. Even small pieces of metal can, over time, cause damage to the pumps and other equipment. However, the use of an inline magnetic separator can help remove the metal pieces without causing disruptions to the production. The s...
