Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator About
PURPOSE & APPLICATION
The Vertical Candle Magnetic Separator is designed to:
- Filter ferrous particles from coolants (e.g., rolling mills coolant oil, water-soluble coolant, or emulsions).
- Maintain coolant cleanliness to improve the surface finish and tool life.
- Be used in steel cold rolling mills, grinding machines, finishing lines, pickling lines, etc.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
- Coolant containing ferrous impurities flows around a bundle of magnetized candle-type rods.
- The high-intensity magnetic field attracts and holds micron-sized iron/steel particles on the candle surface.
- Once saturated, the system enters a cleaning phase:
- The magnetic field is turned OFF.
- A backflush or scraping system removes the accumulated particles.
- The debris is flushed to a sludge tank or basket.
- Candles are re-magnetized and filtration resumes.

FAQ's of Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator:
Q: How does the Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator work?
A: This separator utilizes strong magnetic candles arranged vertically to capture ferrous particles suspended in coolant fluids. As the fluid passes through the unit, the magnetic elements attract and hold the particles, thus ensuring cleaner coolant returns to the machinery.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this magnetic separator?
A: The primary advantages include efficient removal of ferrous impurities, extended lifespan of tool and machinery, improved coolant effectiveness, and reduced frequency of maintenance and downtime. These benefits translate to cost savings over time.
Q: When should I consider installing a candle magnetic separator?
A: You should install this separator whenever your process involves coolant fluids that can be contaminated by ferrous particles-especially in industries like metalworking, manufacturing, or rolling mills where tool wear and product quality are concerns.
Q: Where is this separator typically installed?
A: It is generally installed directly into the coolant return lines or reservoir systems of rolling mills, machining centers, or any setup using coolant oil, water-soluble coolants, or emulsions.
Q: What is the typical process for maintaining this separator?
A: Routine maintenance involves periodically removing the magnetic candles and cleaning them to ensure continued high-efficiency separation. This task is straightforward and can be performed without specialized tools.
Q: What are the available color and specification options?
A: The separator is available in RAL 7035 gray and Appel Green. Technical specifications include a power requirement of 440V, 3-phase, 50 Hz, and weight capacities from 250 to 3000 kg, making it adaptable to various industrial setups.
