Why three-disc magnetic separator machine is very popular in Africa?

Because it offers a low-cost, efficient, and portable solution for mineral extraction, especially in small-scale mining operations. Its ability to recover fine magnetic minerals with minimal infrastructure makes it a preferred choice across the continent.

1. Effective for Fine Mineral Separation
Africa has abundant mineral resources like iron ore, tungsten, tin, tantalum, and rare earth elements, often found in fine-particle form.

The three-disc magnetic separator excels at separating weakly magnetic minerals (e.g., hematite, ilmenite, wolframite) from sand or crushed ore.

2. Affordable & Low Operating Costs
Many African miners operate on a small or medium scale and need cost-effective solutions.

The machine is cheaper than high-intensity magnetic separators (like belt or drum separators) but still delivers good results.

Requires minimal electricity, making it ideal for remote areas with unreliable power supply.

3. Portable & Easy to Operate
The compact design allows for easy transportation to mining sites, including hard-to-reach locations.

Simple operation with minimal training required, making it accessible for artisanal miners.

4. High Recovery Rates for Valuable Minerals
Adjustable magnetic intensity (up to 15,000 Gauss) allows selective extraction of different minerals.

Helps maximize profits by recovering high-value minerals (e.g., coltan, monazite) from low-grade ores.

5. Adaptability to Local Conditions
Works well with dry processing, avoiding the need for water (critical in arid regions).

Three Disc Magnetic Separator Introduction

Three disc magnetic separator main device comprised feeding unit, weak magnetic roller, drive part, material conveying apparatus, magnetic disk, electromagnetic system, frame and others. The electric control section consists of components of control, voltage regulation, rectification, instrument and so on. It features compact structure,stable performance, easy installation and convenient operation and maintenance.

It can separate 4 different minerals in one time, the concentrate grade can reach 60%-70% by using this separator.

Features of Three Disc Magnetic Separator

1. Very high magnetic field intensity 16000gauss – 20000gauss.

2. This separator can separate four different minerals in one time.

3. This separator can get the final concentrate of three to four mineral.

4. Ta & Nb grade can reach 60% by using this separator.

5. it’s easy to install, adjust, and operate.

6. The magnetic intensity of each disc is adjustable from 1000-20000 gauss, could be used for other mineral concentration.
