Applicable Materials：Shredded scrap steel, iron granules, crushed aluminum cans, paint bucket fragments, processed aluminum scrap, ELV shredder residue, nails in waste wood, ore tailings, foundry waste sand, and other ferrous-containing mixed materials..
Haoxing Machinery's Magnetic Separator, also referred to as a Magnetic Drum or Magnetic Sorter, is an essential component of any metal shredding and sorting line. It is widely deployed in scrap steel and iron recycling operations, serving as the primary ferrous removal unit downstream of Metal Hammer Mills, Scrap Steel Shredders, and Aluminum Crushers. By efficiently extracting ferrous metals from mixed material streams, the Magnetic Separator significantly enhances product purity, reduces manual sorting labor, and maximizes the value of recovered metals.

The Haoxing Magnetic Separator is typically installed between two conveyors at the discharge of the primary shredder, creating a seamless automated sorting process:
Material Conveying: Mixed material (containing ferrous, non-ferrous metals, and impurities) from the shredder is fed via belt conveyor into the magnetic separation zone.
Magnetic Attraction: The core component—the high-intensity magnetic drum—is manufactured from premium ferrite material or a composite of ferrite and rare-earth magnets. The drum surface achieves a magnetic field strength of up to 8000 mT (millitesla), among the highest measured in the industry. Ferromagnetic materials (steel, iron, nails) are strongly attracted and held against the conveyor belt.
Separation & Discharge: Non-magnetic or weakly magnetic materials (copper, aluminum, plastic, rubber) are thrown forward by inertia into a separate discharge chute. The captured ferrous material remains on the belt until it exits the magnetic field zone, where it drops into a dedicated ferrous collection bin, achieving complete separation of iron from non-ferrous materials.
Ultra-High Magnetic Field Strength for Thorough Separation: With a magnetic field strength reaching 8000 mT, the drum effectively captures even fine iron particles and weakly magnetic materials, ensuring exceptionally high ferrous recovery rates and superior product purity.
Automated Continuous Operation, Reduced Labor: The unit operates fully integrated with the shredding and conveying system, enabling hands-free, online ferrous removal without manual picking, drastically cutting labor intensity and costs.
Robust Durability & Easy Maintenance: The magnetic drum utilizes rare-earth composite materials with low demagnetization rates for extended service life. The overall structure is compact, requiring minimal routine maintenance while delivering stable, reliable performance.
Versatile Application Range: Beyond scrap metal processing, the separator excels at removing nails and screws from shredded waste wood (formwork, pallets) and can be applied to industrial slag, mine tailings, and foundry sand for iron purification.
