Buyer question / selection note
For fine strongly magnetic ores in beneficiation circuits, wet drum separation is usually preferred. Dry separation is more common for dry feed conditions, coarser pre-concentration, or where water availability is constrained.

01 / Decision summary
02 / Engineering notes
Wet drum separators are often selected for fine particle magnetite circuits because slurry handling supports better grade-recovery control in many beneficiation plants.
Dry magnetic routes are selected where water is constrained, feed is naturally dry, or the separator is used earlier as a pre-concentration step.
Confirm ore magnetic susceptibility, feed size distribution, available water balance, and required concentrate quality before locking the equipment type.
03 / Visible FAQ
Review model specifications and application limits before requesting a quote so the supplier can check the recommendation against a defined duty.
The CTB wet-drum magnetic separator is intended for strongly magnetic minerals such as magnetite and for selected iron-removal duties. Recovery and concentrate grade depend on mineralogy, liberation size, field strength, drum loading, and tank configuration.
Ball mills for wet or dry grinding after crushing in copper, gold, iron ore, graphite, and limestone circuits. Overflow or grate-discharge configurations can serve primary grinding, regrinding, or closed-classifier loops before flotation, magnetic separation, or gravity recovery.

A useful reply needs the inputs that control feed acceptance, reduction ratio, product split, and real hourly duty.
