PER FACTORY LITERATURE
"Now available from Eriez are Rare Earth Drum Separators made with Erium® 3000, a high quality rare earth permanent magnetic power source. Erium® 3000 develops magnetic fields up to 25 times stronger than conventional ceramic or alnico units, with no increase in size. The additional strength helps in removing weakly magnetic or very fine iron contaminants from a wide variety of powdery, dry bulk materials as well as slurries. The increased strength at a greater distance, high gradients, and increased holding force of the RE Drums allows them to hold mag netic or fine iron contaminants so tightly that wipe–off by product flow is virtually eliminated.Rare Earth Drums are effective in treating or purifying large quantities of bulk materials such as foods, plastics, abrasives, metal powders, ceramic material, paper, glass cullet, soda ash, kaolin clay, chemicals, gypsum, and quartz powder. They remove very fine ferrous particles, locked particles, and even strongly paramagnetic particles."
