A new design of magnetic separator

This high intensity, high gradient, cyclic magnetic separator has the magnetic field and the wash water path tranverse to the feed slurry flow path. This allows the length of the slurry flow path to be independently selected without effecting the magnetizing force (ampere-turns). The length of the flow path of wash water (for regenerating the magnetic matrix) can also be independently selected without affecting the length of the feed slurry flow path. Since the selection of each of these parameters can be made independently, it is possible to optimize each parameter for each particular application.
