Metso dry drum separators have been developed mainly for dry separation of ferromagnetic ores with particle sizes finer than 20 mm.
In addition to this conventional application, the dry drum separator has found a wide range of other applications, such as:
- Iron and steel slag treatment
- Reduced pyrite ash separation
- Calcined ilmenite production
- Metal powder production
- Supergrade magnetic concentrate production
- Removal of ferromagnetic particles prior to high intensity magnetic separation
- Control of iron contamination in glass sand production
