Design
Features
The design of a rare earth roll magnetic separator consisting of a rotating drum made of rare earth magnetic material, mostly neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), ensures the optimum combination of magnetic field strength and magnetic gradient to give the most effective separation.
Magnetic Roll Types
