General Introduction
Wet Drum Separator separates magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones with the help of magnetic force, so as to enhance the purity of materials and improve the quality of mineral concentrates.
Breakdown Illustration
Wet drum separator consists of magnet pack, rotating drum, flow tank, transmission system and support structure etc.
Tank Design and Illustration
There are three tank designs: Concurrent Tank, Counter-current (Steffenson) Tank and Counter-rotation Tank. Material enters the trough tank from the feed box, and will be attracted onto the surface of the magnetic drum when it's passing through the separation area. Then it will be transported by the rotating drum to the concentrate discharge outlet for unloading, while the non-magnetics and the weak magnetics are discharged through the tailing outlet of the trough tank.
Sortek - CXM series wet drum separator with counter-rotation tank design, it is mainly used for automatic and continuous recovery of heavy medium in heavy media coal preparation process, it is designed to realize heavy medium recovery and purification, and it is also applied in the separation and purification of ferromagnetic ore.
CXM Series Advantage
- Dedicated magnetic materials to ensure the magnetic field strength and gradient in the separation depth
- Stainless steel wear-resistant drum with double-cover design, easy to replace, convenient maintenance
- Built-in and wear-resistant aluminum/stainless steel end cap, to avoid water and material splashed by the traditional flange structure
- The O-ring sealing structure is adopted between the drum and the end caps, which is safe and reliable
- External heavy duty bearing can be maintained or replaced without removing the drum
- Counter-rotation tank design with complete stainless steel wear-resistant tank, and long service life
- Magnet pack adjustment with screwed rod, easy to adjust the magnet pack angle in accurate operation
- 12 hours pressure test for the drum to ensure the sealing performance of the drum
- Modular structure, easy to transport and install

CXM series of wet drum separator guarantees the magnetite content in the tailing to be below 0.23 kg/m³, usually it is below 0.12 kg/m³.
For different heavy media content kg/m³ in the feed, the recovery % will be as below:
| Heavy Media Content (kg/m3) | Recovery (%) |
| 85-135 | 99.7 |
| 135-265 | 99.8 |
| > 265 | 99.9 |
