Abstract
Abstract A magnetic separator for removing contaminations from a liquid to which a ferromagnetic particulate material has been added is formed of a plurality of discs arranged along a shaft parallel to each other with spaces therebetween, the bottom parts of which dip into a container for the liquid. The discs contain permanent magnets of substantial coercive field strength over at least the greater part of their areas. The ferromagnetic material and contaminants carried thereby are scraped off the surface of the discs by belts which surround the shaft and which extend outside the discs to discharge the material scraped off of the discs.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
Magnetic separator comprising a rotatable shaft, a plurality of substantially parallel filter discs which are attached along said shaft and located in planes substantially perpendicular thereto with with gaps between the discs for passage of medium which is to be cleaned, said medium when entering the separator containing a ferromagnetic particulate material, said discs containing permanent magnets producing local magnetic field inhomogeneities in the gaps between the discs and the separator being provided with a scraper means for the particulate material which adheres to the discs when the medium passes the gaps, wherein the scraper means comprises a plurality of endless transport belts which enter the gaps between the discs and extend outside the discs, said separator having means to drive the shaft of the separator and the belts, said transport belts surrounding the separator shaft and having upper and lower runs, said upper runs moving outwardly with respect to the discs.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
Magnetic separator comprising a rotatable shaft, a plurality of substantially parallel filter discs which are attached along said shaft and located in planes substantially perpendicular thereto with with gaps between the discs for passage of medium which is to be cleaned, said medium when entering the separator containing a ferromagnetic particulate material, said discs containing permanent magnets producing local magnetic field inhomogeneities in the gaps between the discs and the separator being provided with a scraper means for the particulate material which adheres to the discs when the medium passes the gaps, wherein the scraper means comprises a plurality of endless transport belts which enter the gaps between the discs and extend outside the discs, said separator having means to drive the shaft of the separator and the belts, said transport belts surrounding the separator shaft and having upper and lower runs, said upper runs moving outwardly with respect to the discs.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 1, wherein the drive means is connected to the separator shaft and said transport belts are driven by the shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 1, in which the discs each comprise spaced walls, and the permanent magnets extend between the walls of the discs, said walls facing the gaps.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 3, in which the permanent magnets are packed closely to each other between the walls of the discs and in which the adjacent magnets are of opposite polarities.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 4, in which the permanent magnets are ceramic magnets.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 1, in which the permanent magnets have a coercive field strength exceeding 100 kA/m.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
39 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 1, in which the permanent magnets are arranged along substantially the whole extension of the discs, with the exception of limited areas for facilitating scraping off the particulate material which adheres to the discs.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
Magnetic separator according to claim 1, in which the permanent magnets are arranged along substantially the whole extension of the discs.
