It is important to keep and clean the magnetic separation equipment to ensure that they work efficiently and last long. It is recommended that the equipment should be inspected from time to time to determine whether any of the parts are worn out and should be replaced. Cleaning is the process of washing the accumulated magnetic particles from the surface of the separator and this can be done by brushing or air blowing. In wet separators, the use of water or a cleaning solution can be used to flush out trapped particles.
