Magnetic Separator CTB 1218 – Maximize Mineral Recovery & Reduce Downtime
Struggling with Low-Grade Ore or Contaminant Removal?
Inefficient separation leads to lost revenue, higher processing costs, and unnecessary equipment wear. The CTB 1218 Magnetic Separator delivers precision mineral extraction—optimizing recovery rates while cutting operational waste for mining, recycling, and mineral processing plants.
What Is the CTB 1218 Magnetic Separator?
A high-performance wet drum magnetic separator designed for continuous extraction of ferrous materials from slurries. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, making it ideal for:
- Iron ore beneficiation
- Heavy media recovery
- Silica sand purification
- Scrap metal recycling
How It Works:
- Slurry Inlet: Feed material enters the rotating drum.
- Magnetic Capture: A powerful internal magnet attracts ferrous particles.
- Separation & Discharge: Non-magnetic material flows freely; magnetics adhere until scraped off into a collection chute.
Why Choose the CTB 1218 Over Competitors?
| Feature | CTB 1218 | Conventional Alternatives |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic Intensity | Adjustable 800–1500 Gauss | Fixed-strength designs |
| Drum Material | Stainless steel + wear-resistant lining | Standard carbon steel |
| Maintenance Cycle | Up to 10,000 hours (sealed bearings) | Frequent lubrication required |
| Throughput Capacity | Up to 180 t/h (slurry-dependent) | Typically <150 t/h |
Key Advantages:
✔ Higher Recovery Rates: Optimized magnetic field traps fine particles competitors miss.
✔ Lower Operating Costs: Reduced power consumption (<11 kW) and extended component life.
✔ Modular Design: Easy integration into existing circuits with minimal retrofitting.
