Developed for metalworking and specialty industrial markets, Eriez' Xtractor® extends the life of pumps, cutting tools, and grinding wheels by removal of fine, ferrous contaminants.
Principle of Operation
Eriez Xtractor Rare-Earth Coolant Cleaners utilize a powerful magnetic circuit design to maximize magnetic field strength. The resulting high field provides the most effective separation response of any drum type magnetic separator.
In operation, liquid contaminated with fine ferrous particles enters the sump area and flows past a counter-rotating magnetic drum. Particles attracted to the drum are held tight and lifted to the top, where a mechanical discharge mechanism moves them to a discharge chute. Cleaner liquid is discharged from the bottom of the separator.
The effectiveness of all magnetic separators depends on the magnetic susceptibility and concentration of the contaminants, as well as the viscosity of the liquid. However, the power source for the Xtractor Coolant Cleaner, Erium® 3000 (a high-quality rare-earth permanent magnetic material), develops magnetic fields many times stronger than conventional ceramic or alnico magnets, with no increase in size. The additional strength improves the removal of moderately magnetic particles or very fine iron from a wide range of coolants and other liquids.
