Process position before model
The same equipment family can serve pre-selection, concentration, cleaning, scavenging or tailings recovery depending on its location in the flow sheet.
Wet Drum Magnetic Separator
A Wet Drum Magnetic Separator is used in wet mineral-processing circuits where magnetic particles are separated from a slurry stream. Material enters the separation zone, magnetic particles are retained by the magnetic field and directed to a magnetic product outlet, while the non-magnetic portion follows its own discharge path. The exact process role may be recovery, cleaning, concentration or another defined stage in the flow sheet.

Product role
Overview and how it fits the process
A Wet Drum Magnetic Separator is used in wet mineral-processing circuits where magnetic particles are separated from a slurry stream. Material enters the separation zone, magnetic particles are retained by the magnetic field and directed to a magnetic product outlet, while the non-magnetic portion follows its own discharge path. The exact process role may be recovery, cleaning, concentration or another defined stage in the flow sheet.
The duty must be matched to the mineral, particle-size distribution, slurry condition, throughput and required product streams. Tank arrangement, feed direction and magnetic circuit are process decisions, not generic claims. COWIN MAGNET can coordinate an initial selection discussion from real process information and any available sample or plant data.
Selection logic
Why this configuration needs site information
Feed condition controls the design
Particle size, liberation, moisture or slurry condition and feed consistency are reviewed before a configuration is proposed.
Target stream is defined
The selection discussion distinguishes the magnetic product, non-magnetic product and the downstream stage that receives each stream.
Testing may be required
Where mineral behavior is uncertain, representative material and process information should be reviewed before commitments are made.

Selection checklist
What to send for an initial configuration review
- State whether the objective is recovery, upgrading, cleaning or tramp iron removal.
- For wet circuits, describe the slurry condition and available water or process constraints.
- Share laboratory, plant or sample information when available.
Important boundary
- No recovery or grade claim is made without representative material and process evidence.
- Magnetic separation does not replace required crushing, screening, classification or other upstream preparation stages.

Questions to resolve before ordering
How is a mineral magnetic separator selected?
Selection begins with the mineral, particle size, feed condition, desired magnetic and non-magnetic product streams, throughput and the place of the machine in the process flow.
Can one separator solve every ore separation problem?
No. Magnetic response, liberation, feed preparation and separation target vary by material. A dry, wet, high-gradient or drum configuration is selected for the actual duty.
What should be sent for an initial technical review?
Provide mineral name, feed size, moisture or slurry condition, throughput, process sketch, desired product streams and any available test or plant data.
Are recovery results guaranteed from a catalog page?
No. Recovery depends on the material and process. Results should only be discussed after the feed and operating conditions are reviewed.
