Abstract:
A parts separator includes a chute having an inlet section defining a wet chip inlet opening, an outlet section defining a wet chip outlet opening adapted to be coupled to a centrifugal separator and a drop-out opening disposed between the inlet and outlet sections. The parts separator also includes a magnetic separator disposed outside the chute adjacent the drop-out opening.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices to remove slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed. The scrap separation device uses indirect heat provided by one or more heaters directed at an external surface of an outer cylinder to release the contaminants; a unique arrangement of paddles on an inner cylinder to provide kinetic energy to discharge the released contaminants, and apertures through the inner cylinder to allow discharged contaminates to pass to the outer cylinder. The presently disclosed invention further includes a system which comprises at least one magnetic separation unit, a screening unit, and a scrap separation device. The system may remove slag, sands, and other contaminants from a scrap metal feed, and partition the cleaned scrap metal into various size grades, and the recovered contaminating slag and sands into various size grades.
Abstract:
A particle separator is provided that separates small particulate from large particulate from an intermixed material feed. The separator finds particular utility in the field of separation of thermoplastic regrind particulate from intermixed debris which constitutes a smaller particulate relative to the thermoplastic regrind. Embodiments of the separator use a rotary shaft for mounting an spiral blade fed by a material feeder bin that meters material into the separator. The spiral blade is configured so that the material moves along a peripheral mesh screen to separate any smaller particulate that passes through the mesh screen leaving the large particulate to traverse though the separator, while small particulate is sieved therefrom the surrounding mesh and into a separate collection stream. The spiral blade is mounted to a central magnetic axis to achieve removal of unwanted foreign spurious metal shavings or particulate that may be introduced to molding materials due to mechanical wear of the processing machinery.
Abstract:
An adjustable magnetic separator and method is provided herein to process aggregate material including magnetic material into a magnetic portion having a predetermined magnetic susceptibility, and a non-magnetic portion. The method and system include configuring an adjustable magnet to provide an effective magnetic field at a separating surface of the magnetic separator corresponding to the predetermined magnetic susceptibility of the magnetic portion to be separated. The strength or intensity of the effective magnetic field may be varied by mechanically adjusting the position of the magnet array included in the adjustable magnet relative to a separating surface defined by the magnetic separator.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for processing scraps by separating and recovering various nonferrous metals from a mixture of scraps comprising nonferrous metals and nonmetals, wherein scraps which have been crushed and cleared of magnetic substance parted from long-size material and washed out of the adhering fine dust and oily substance, and separated into light and heavy materials based on the difference in the specific gravity thereof by use of a heavy liquid made up of water and magnetic powder body and by the effect of an upward flow of the heavy liquid which increases its own apparent specific gravity; the separated light material is further sorted into nonferrous metals and nonmetals based on the difference in the electric conductivity thereof by the application of a moving magnetic field thereto, being recovered as resources.
Abstract:
A slotted pipe is rotatably supported in a drag tank and communicates with the suction line of a pump. Magnetic discs are rotatable with the pipe and serve to attract and catch magnetic particles in liquid flowing to the pipe so as to prevent such particles from entering the pump. A scraper is positioned adjacent the rotatable discs and pipe to brush the caught particles therefrom and direct the particles to the bottom of the tank.
