Metso High gradient magnetic separator HGMS continuous

The separator is ruggedly built and has proven high availability.

Few moving parts except for the matrix ring support rollers combined with controlled slurry velocities gives low maintenance costs

Unlike to the WHIMS, the Metso HGMS is capable of handling and recovering particles down to extremely fine sizes due to the possibility to choose a suitable matrix grade with large collection area and to control the slurry velocity during the separation process

The flushing sequence takes place outside the magnetic zone and this makes the Metso HGMS less sensitive to the content of ferromagnetic material such as magnetite

Due to the magnetization direction, the Metso HGMS is also less vulnerable for blocking of the matrix due to bridging over

The capacity increases with approximately the square of the diameter of the equipment while the capacity of the WHIMS normally is proportional to the diameter of its rotor

The stray magnetic field is a considerably lower around the Metso HGMS compared with the WHIMS for similar duty

The wear of the METSO HGMS matrix is extremely low and replacement is normally due after eight to ten years in operation and sometimes even longer
