Abstract
A top feed, wet drum magnetic separator capable of treating, removing tramp metal from the full flow discharge of a grinding mill having a feed box which provides overflow capacity, velocity break to minimize turbulence, and spread the slurry evenly across the drum surface. A flow transition is provided to the rotating drum surface. A fixed magnet assembly is supported inside the drum. Barrier walls contain the flow and a cover confines the flow over the drum. A partitioned product hopper collects metallic fragments separately from the bulk slurry flow. A spray bar is provided to clean the drum.
