Magnetite

Magnetite also known as Black Iron Oxide (Fe304), is a naturally occurring Iron Oxide mineral that is known for its unique magnetic properties and black color. It contains a high amount of iron in it which makes it common in iron ore production as well as more specific uses like the magnetic inks and toners industry due to its high magnetic properties. Sieving Magnetite is a very difficult task when using conventional or ultrasonic sieves, due to the density of the material and poor flow characteristics. The material must stay elevated inside of the screener in order to prevent buildup on the screen surface or blinding and tearing of meshes will occur.

Contract Manufacturing Experience

Elcan Industries has successfully separated magnetite at sizes as fine as 10um using the Hi Sifter sieving machine. Sieving magnetite on a high energy screener prevents the material from settling on the screen mesh by keeping it elevated on the screen mesh which makes blinding of the mesh impossible. The density of Magnetite, paired with the high energy allows for seamless separations at very high rates. Elcan has also successfully made 4 micron separations using the Elbow Jet Air Classifier and coarser separations on the Allgaier tumbler screening machine. Lastly, Elcan’s line of electromagnetic separators can significantly lower iron content in the powder as well.
