Drum magnetic separators are the most common machine for the iron ore beneficiation in mining industry, 

iron ore particles will be will attach to the surface of drum magnetic separator via the force of magnetic field generated by the magnet system of drum magnetic separator.

Generally Speaking, the drum magnetic separator can be categorized as Wet Separation Model and Dry Separation Model determined by if the water is required in the separation process.

Wet permanent Drum Magnetic Separator are used in Dense Media Separation (DMS) plants for the recovery of magnetic particles from the dilute medium.

They must recover the maximum amount of magnetic particles at the highest possible density. Wet drum magnetic separator consists of a stationery magnet arc around which a drum rotates. The drum is partially submerged in a tank which follows the contour of the drum.

Tank of Drum Magnetic Separator can normally be categorized as three model

(CTS) Concurrent	CTB (Counter - Rotation)	(CTN) Counter-Current

Dry Drum Magnetic Separator is high-efficiency ore concentration machine newly designed by our company which is widely used to remove, purify or separate materials, allowing them to be of higher values. Rely on our elaborate efforts, it becomes great for the dry and arid regions to save water resources and reduce production cost, opening a new way for magnetite mining and utilization. According to the processed material size , dry drum magnetic separator can be categorized as QKFK Drum Magnetic Separator for Powder Ore and QJCGT Drum Magnetic Separator for Lump Ore.

QJFK Drum Magnetic Separator can pre-separation of low-grade ores, to pre-concentrate ores, raise ore grade and reduce production cost. Re-separation of tails, to recover relatively rich tails on the dry slope of tails dam. Purifier dry fines of pyrite cinder. Remove iron from non-magnetic materials with lower cost. Purifier concentrated fines, to remove lean associated materials and gangue from concentrated iron fines, lead to the grade improvement of fines and increase the technically-added value of products.

QJCGT Drum Magnetic Separator can re-separating at magnetic separation plants to remove stones mixed in ores, restore the geologic grade of ore and increase the treatment capacity of the plant, also can be used in mining stope to recover iron ore from waste stones and improve resource utilization rate.
