High Intensity Magnetic Separator
High
Intensity Magnetic Separator
A High Intensity Magnetic Separator (HIMS) is an
industrial equipment used to separate magnetic and non-magnetic materials. It
is designed to extract magnetic particles from a mixture using a highly
powerful magnetic field, typically greater than 10,000 Gauss. These separators
are especially useful for separating fine magnetic minerals, weakly magnetic
materials, or even paramagnetic particles that cannot be handled by standard
low-intensity separators.
Applications
High Intensity Magnetic Separators are commonly used in:
- Mining
Industry – For beneficiation of iron ores, manganese, chromite, tungsten, and rare earth minerals.
- Recycling
Industry – Separating stainless steel and weakly magnetic metals from
non-metallic materials.
- Ceramic
Industry – Removing iron impurities from kaolin, quartz, and feldspar.
- Chemical
Industry – Purification of catalysts, abrasives, and plastic
compounds.
- Food
Processing – Elimination of metal contaminants from spices, grains,
and flour.
- Pharmaceuticals
– Ensuring purity and safety in drug manufacturing.
- Glass
and Silica Sand Industry – Removing iron to improve glass quality.
- Battery
Industry – Purifying lithium, cobalt, and other battery materials.
- Foundries
– For recycling steel and non-ferrous metals.
- Environmental
Remediation – Separation of magnetic contaminants from soil or water.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- What
is the function of a High Intensity Magnetic Separator?
It separates magnetic from non-magnetic particles in mineral or chemical processing. - How
is HIMS different from low-intensity magnetic separators?
HIMS operates at much higher magnetic fields, ideal for weakly magnetic
materials.
- Can
it separate non-ferrous metals like aluminum or copper?
No. It separates magnetic and paramagnetic particles, not non-magnetic
metals.
- What
is the power requirement for HIMS?
Depends on capacity—typically ranges from 2 kW to 30 kW.
- Does
it work with wet materials?
Yes. Wet HIMS units are specifically designed for slurry-based operations.
- Is
it suitable for food or pharmaceutical use?
Yes, provided the unit is made of food-grade stainless steel.
- What
materials can be purified using HIMS?
Kaolin, silica, lithium, feldspar, manganese, tungsten, and more.
- Is
it safe to operate?
Yes. With proper training and safety measures, it is completely safe.
- How
do I maintain a magnetic separator?
Regular cleaning, checking the belt, and magnet strength tests.
- Where
can I buy a High Intensity Magnetic Separator in India?
Manufacturers in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu offer standard and
custom models.
Conclusion
The High Intensity Magnetic Separator is an essential
piece of equipment in industries where purity and precise separation of
materials matter. Whether you're in mining, ceramics, recycling, or
pharmaceuticals, HIMS offers high efficiency, reliable performance, and
excellent ROI. With options for wet and dry separation, these separators can be
customized to suit your exact requirements.
