Magnetic Separator
The High-Efficiency Steel Recovery Solution for Tire Recycling
Magnetic separators form the critical component in tire recycling operations that extracts high-purity steel bead wire from shredded rubber material. These advanced systems combine powerful magnetic fields with precision material handling to achieve over 99% steel recovery while maintaining rubber product quality.
Engineered for Maximum Metal Recovery
The separator features heavy-duty construction with rare earth neodymium magnets generating up to 9,500 gauss surface strength. The inclined drum design (45-60°) provides optimal material presentation to the magnetic field, while the self-cleaning mechanism automatically discharges captured steel into collection bins. The system processes up to 30 tons/hour of tire-derived material with minimal rubber carryover.
Advanced Separation Technology
Dual-stage separation first removes liberated steel wires via primary magnetic drum, followed by high-intensity magnetic rolls that extract fine steel filaments down to 0.3mm length. Variable-speed vibratory feeders optimize material distribution across the magnetic face. Some systems incorporate eddy current separators for simultaneous non-ferrous metal recovery.
Operational Advantages
The separator achieves rubber purity levels below 0.1% residual steel content in final product. Energy-efficient permanent magnet circuits require no electrical power for operation. The abrasion-resistant stainless steel drum surface withstands constant steel wire contact without degradation. Automatic gap adjustment maintains optimal separation distance as components wear.
Maintenance for Peak Performance
Daily inspection of drum surfaces prevents material buildup. Weekly measurement of magnetic field strength ensures proper separation power. Monthly bearing lubrication extends component life. Annual recalibration of vibratory feeders maintains optimal material distribution. Modern systems feature automated wear monitoring that predicts maintenance needs.
