Magnetic separation for slag processing plant

Master Magnets have supplied a variety of custom-built magnetic separation equipment for a slag processing plant in Greece.

Aiforos S.A. wanted to separate the metals from raw slag to avoid problems during its end use and also to recover the higher-value scrap for return to iron and steel making processes. The company contacted Master Magnets who have many years’ experience in the magnetic separation of slag and are able to provide a range of separators for use during different stages of the size-reduction process. To gain a better understanding of the application Master Magnets carried out a sample testing service before moving on to the custom-design stage.

The slag separation plant includes a pulley magnet, an overband separator, a slag permanent drum and vibratory feeder. This ensures that the slag-processing plant has the power and durability to retain ferrous material that may be buried in a non-ferrous mass or which may have a considerable amount of non-ferrous material attached. The slag drums provided are powerful radial pole drums suitable for the reclamation of slag in the production of steel. The pole design allows the maximum entrapment of metals and the highest levels of separation.
