About Vertical Type Candle Magnetic Separator
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.
