Abstract:
A magnetic separator for removing ferromagnetic particles suspended in a liquid, said separator comprising a tank adapted to contain a liquid;a train of spaced apart elongated magnetic bars connected together and arranged within said tank in a closed loop of bars defining a closed space within; a loop drive advancing said loop of bars in a recirculating path around said space within said tank; an inlet directing liquid into said closed space in said tank within said loop of magnetic bars; and, at least one outlet located outside said loop of bars for drawing liquid out of said tank after passing radially out of said closed space through spaces between said bars on each side of said inlet; an intervening space between said loop of magnetic bars and a tank sidewall on each side of said loop, and a perforated distributor disposed in each intervening space extending vertically down each side of said loop of bars to distribute flow into said spaced apart bars to said at least one outlet.
