Wet drum separator RM
The RM type wet magnetic separator is designed for automatic separation of ferromagnetics from liquid raw materials. The magnetic separator is used in heavy liquid purification systems in coal mines, where it recovers valuable magnetite.
The RM wet drum separator is reliable, very robust and designed for continuous operation. The drum separator is characterized by high metal separation efficiency. The ferrite or neodymium permanent magnets used in the magnetic drum have high coercivity, which makes them difficult to demagnetize. Therefore, the wet drum separator has a long service life.

Wet drum separator during operation
Design versions
- RM-F type magnetic separator
Equipped with a ferrite magnetic drum with medium magnetic field intensity. - RM-N type magnetic separator
Equipped with a neodymium magnetic drum with high flux density. - Drum separator with a co-current tank
The liquid mass flows in the same direction as the drum rotation. - Drum separator with a counter-current tank
The liquid mass flows in the opposite direction as the drum rotation.
Working principle of the wet magnetic separator
The contaminated liquid is fed through a pipeline to the separator tank. Inside the tank there is a magnetic drum with permanent magnets placed under its shell in the lower part of the drum. The magnets generate a strong magnetic field that attracts fine iron particles to the drum surface. As the drum rotates, these particles "jump" in the magnetic field from pole to pole, resulting in the separation of magnetic parts from non-magnetic ones. A specially designed scraper detaches the captured ferromagnetics from the drum surface and directs them to the chute. The purified liquid is directed through the overflow to the outlet. Wet drum separators are produced in co-current and counter-current versions. In the co-current version, the direction of liquid flow is consistent with the direction of drum rotation. In the counter-current version, the direction of liquid flow is opposite to the direction of drum rotation.
Why choose our devices?
Wet drum separators manufactured by Magnetix are available in several variants and are equipped with highly inductive magnetic systems made of neodymium magnets. Wet magnetic separators are available in diameters up to 1200 mm and working widths up to 3000 mm, adapted to the efficiency and installation conditions. For the production of magnetic systems installed in separators, an innovative technology for water jet cutting of magnets and yokes was developed, thanks to which a very high precision of magnet assembly was achieved and, consequently, a high power of the emitted magnetic field. The body and rotating magnetic drum of the separator are made entirely of high-quality austenitic steel welded with laser technology, which ensures high quality workmanship and long service life. Our company also carries out comprehensive renovations of external wet magnetic separators.
