Palmer Drum Magnets

Overview

Palmer Drum Magnets are rotating drum magnets designed for continuous self-cleaning of metal contaminants from product flow streams. As product enters the housing inlet, an adjustable feed gate meters the flow of product to the drum face. The drum has a stationary, 180 degree arc, internal magnet, with an outer drum that rotates. Metal contaminants are attracted to the drum surface where they are held until they pass through the magnetic field and are discharged to the rear of the drum housing, while cleaned filtered product is discharged to the front of the drum housing. Rotating Drum Magnets provide good separation in applications where there is a high concentration of metal contamination or where terminating the product flow for cleaning of the magnet is not feasible.
