The sorting speed of electromagnetic dry powder magnetic separator is an 
important parameter that affects its sorting effect and efficiency. Adjusting 
the sorting speed can optimize the sorting accuracy and processing capacity. The 
adjustment of sorting speed involves multiple aspects, including electromagnetic 
field strength, drum speed, material feeding speed, etc. The following is a 
detailed explanation on how to adjust the sorting speed of the electromagnetic 
dry powder magnetic separator:
1. Adjustment of electromagnetic field strength
-The influence of electromagnetic field intensity on sorting speed: The 
electromagnetic dry powder magnetic separator separates magnetic particles and 
non-magnetic particles in the material through the magnetic force generated by 
the electromagnetic field. The stronger the magnetic field strength, the 
stronger the attraction to magnetic particles, and the faster the sorting speed. 
However, excessive magnetic field strength may cause magnetic particles to be 
excessively attracted, thereby reducing sorting accuracy.
-How to adjust: The strength of the electromagnetic field is usually 
determined by the current of the electromagnet. By adjusting the current in the 
control system, the magnetic field strength can be increased or decreased, 
thereby affecting the sorting speed. When dealing with materials with strong 
magnetism, the magnetic field strength can be appropriately increased to 
accelerate the sorting speed; When dealing with weak magnetic or fine particle 
materials, reducing the magnetic field strength can improve the sorting 
accuracy.
2. Adjustment of drum speed
-The influence of drum speed on sorting speed: The drum of an electromagnetic 
dry powder magnetic separator is used to separate animal materials through a 
magnetic field. The drum speed directly affects the processing speed and sorting 
time of materials. Excessive rotation speed can result in short residence time 
of materials in the magnetic field and insufficient sorting; If the speed is too 
slow, it may reduce production efficiency.
-How to adjust: The drum speed is usually controlled by a frequency converter 
or a speed regulating motor. According to the material characteristics and 
production requirements, the speed of the drum can be adjusted. Generally 
speaking, when it is necessary to increase production capacity, increasing the 
rotational speed appropriately can accelerate the passage speed of materials; 
When improving sorting accuracy is required, reducing the rotational speed can 
prolong the residence time of materials in the magnetic field, ensuring 
sufficient sorting.
3. Adjustment of material feeding speed
-The influence of feed speed on sorting speed: The feed speed determines the 
amount of material entering the magnetic separator per unit time. Excessive 
feeding speed can cause materials to accumulate in the sorting area, affecting 
the sorting efficiency; If the feeding speed is too slow, it may reduce the 
processing efficiency of the equipment.
-How to adjust: The feeding speed can be adjusted by controlling the 
operating speed of the feeding device (such as a vibrating feeder or a screw 
feeder). In order to optimize the sorting speed, the feeding speed should be 
matched with the drum speed and magnetic field strength to avoid excessive 
material accumulation or too fast flow rate. In general, when adjusting the 
feeding speed, it is necessary to set it reasonably based on factors such as 
material particle size and magnetic strength to achieve the best sorting 
effect.
4. Adjustment of material particle size
-The influence of material particle size on sorting speed: The particle size 
of materials also affects sorting speed. Finer particles have a longer residence 
time in a magnetic field and a relatively slower sorting speed; Larger particles 
are more affected by magnetic force and have a faster sorting speed. Therefore, 
the uniformity of material particle size directly affects the stability of 
sorting speed.
-How to adjust: Before sorting, particle size control and pretreatment of 
materials can be carried out, and the particle size of materials can be 
controlled within an appropriate range through screening or grinding equipment. 
This can ensure that the material passes evenly during the magnetic separation 
process, avoiding uneven particle size that leads to inconsistent sorting speed 
and effectiveness.
5. Adjustment of sorting area
-The setting of sorting area: The size and shape of the sorting area of the 
electromagnetic dry powder magnetic separator (i.e. the area where the material 
comes into contact with the magnetic field) also affect the sorting speed. If 
the sorting area is large and the material stays in the magnetic field for a 
longer time, the sorting effect will be better; If the sorting area is small, 
the material passes through quickly, but the sorting may not be thorough.
-How to adjust: The size and shape of the sorting area can be adjusted by 
adjusting the distance between the drum and the electromagnet, and changing the 
coverage area of the magnetic field. In general, if it is necessary to increase 
the sorting speed, the sorting area can be reduced; When it is necessary to 
improve sorting accuracy, the sorting area can be increased.
6. Adjustment of auxiliary equipment
-The function of vibration device: Some electromagnetic dry powder separators 
are equipped with vibration devices to assist in the uniform distribution of 
materials and the passage of magnetic fields. The frequency and amplitude of the 
vibration device will affect the movement speed of the material in the magnetic 
field, thereby affecting the sorting speed.
-How to adjust: Based on the characteristics of the material, the frequency 
and amplitude of the vibration device can be adjusted appropriately to ensure 
that the material enters the sorting area evenly and avoid excessive 
concentration or uneven flow rate. At the same time, the vibration frequency can 
also affect the dispersion of materials, thereby affecting the sorting speed and 
effectiveness.
7. Adjustment of magnetic field gradient
-The function of magnetic field gradient: Magnetic field gradient refers to 
the rate of change of magnetic field strength in space. High magnetic field 
gradient can generate greater magnetic force and quickly separate magnetic 
particles; A low magnetic field gradient is beneficial for the separation of 
weakly magnetic particles.
-How to adjust: By changing the magnetic pole spacing and adjusting the 
distribution of the magnetic field, the magnetic field gradient can be adjusted. 
Usually, when it is necessary to quickly separate strong magnetic materials, 
increasing the magnetic field gradient can improve the sorting speed; When 
dealing with weak magnetic or fine particle materials, reducing the magnetic 
field gradient can help improve the sorting efficiency.
summary
The sorting speed of electromagnetic dry powder magnetic separator can be 
optimized by adjusting multiple parameters, including electromagnetic field 
strength, drum speed, feed speed, material particle size, sorting area, 
auxiliary equipment (such as vibration device), and adjustment of magnetic field 
gradient. The adjustment of these parameters needs to be comprehensively 
considered based on specific production requirements, material characteristics, 
and sorting accuracy requirements. By reasonable adjustment and matching, 
production efficiency can be improved and equipment performance can be optimized 
while ensuring sorting accuracy.
