United States Patent MAGNETIC SEPARATOR FOR MIXTURES 0F MAGNETIC AND NON-MAGNETIC MATERIAL Emerson J. Tenpas and Raymond A. White, Erie, Pa., 
assignors to Eriez Manufacturing Co., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed July 17, 1963, Ser. No. 295,646 8 Claims. (Cl. 209219) This invention relates to magnetic separators and, more particularly, to magnetic separators for removing magnetic materials from mixtures of magnetic material and non-magnetic material. 
 The device disclosed herein is particularly suitable for removing particles of magnetic material from particles of non-magnetic material. 
 The magnetic separator disclosed herein has been invented to facilitate magnetic separation and product improvement of magnetic and non-magnetic mixtures. This magnetic separator enables a user to separate, up-grade, and purify magnetic or semi-magnetic products from nonmagnetic products or vice versa. 
 It is, accordingly, an object of the present invention to provide a means of separating magnetic and non-magnetic components which could not be separated with any other previous practical, continuous, or economical methods. 
 Another object of this invention is to provide a high purification of materials consisting of high percentages of steel particles to thereby remove any or all non-magnetic particle contamination. 
 It is another object of the invention to obtain this separation by violently agitating the material by magnetic means to shake and drop out the contamination. 
 Still another object of the invention is to make use of gravity to facilitate shaking free the non-magnetic particles from the suspended agitating magnetic material. 
 Yet another object of this invention is to provide a mag netic separator capable of handling large volumes of material in the range of 200 tons per hour. 
 A further object of this invention is to cause a preagitation of the material by magnetic means, using a magnetic drum or roll with polarities of the magnetic elements of the drum at right angles to the direction of material flow. 
 The repetitive agitation is caused by moving the produuct across multiple poles of a special permanent (or electro) magnetic field. This causes the product to flip and agitate end over end as the product moves across from north to south to north, etc. poles of the magnet. 
 It is a further object of this invention to vibrate the material fed to the initial conveyor so as to provide a uniform thin flow for maximum separation. 
 It is also an object to provide a machine having a rotating roll or drum with axial fields and poles to shake and lift the magnetic product to the conveyor belt, thus causing initial separation of non-magnetic materials before the product is subjected to the agitating magnet. 
 Still a further object of the invention is to provide an improved magnetic separator. 
 Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a magnetic separating device suitable for removing particles of magnetic material from non-magnetic material and depositing them, respectively, into separate bins. 
 Still yet another object of the invention is to provide a magnetic separating device which is simple in construction, economical to manufacture, and simple and efficient to use. 
 With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists of the combination and arrangement Patented Dec. 13, 1966 of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form, size, proportions, and minor details of construction without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention. 
In the drawings: 
 FIG. 1 is a side view of a magnetic separating device according to the invention; 
FIG. 2 is an end view of the device shown in FIG. 1; 
 FIG. 3 shows an optional construction of a feeding device for the magnetic separator; 
 FIG. 4 shows a conveyor type feeding device for the separator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; 
 FIG. 5 is a side view of another embodiment of the invention; 
 FIG. 6 is an end view of the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 5 
 FIG. 7 is a cross sectional view taken on line 77 of FIG. 8; and 
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of the magnet support. 
 Now with more particular reference to the drawings, the magnetic separator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a frame 1 made of suitable iron fabrications as shown. A lower endless belt 8 and an upper endless belt  9 are supported on the separator. The lower belt 8 is supported on a lower conveyor tail drum  7 and a lower conveyor drive drum  6 which are supported on suitable pulley blocks driven by a drive mechanism  12 through suitable belts. 
 The upper belt  9 is supported above the lower belt 8. An upper conveyor drive drum 4 is located intermediate the ends of the belt 8 and the lower conveyor drive drum  6 is located intermediate the ends of the belt  9. These conveyor belts rotate in a direction opposite to each other so their adjacent sides move in the same direction and material will fall on the belt 8 from a feeder  15 and be carried under the belt 8. As the material moves under a magnetic concentrator assembly 11, the magnets will lift the material from the belt and carry the material along with the belt to the ends of the magnet assembly where it will drop into a magnetic hopper  2. 
 The non-magnetic material will be unaffected by the magnets on the concentrator assembly 11 and this material Will fall off of the end of the belt 8 into a non-magnetic hopper  3. 
 During operation, the material to be sorted is carried by a conveyor  33 and slides down a chute  34 onto the vibratory feeder  15. From here, it is fed at a controlled rate onto the belt 8 where it moves across the drum  7. 
 The drum  7 has circumferentially spaced fields of alternate polarity around its circumference. These fields may be formed by U-shaped permanent magnets supported inside the drum in a conventional manner with each pole extending from one side of the drum to the other. This arrangement of polarity causes the material to fiip over and over as it moves along the belt 8. The   drums      7, 107, and 307 could be made in the manner of the drums shown in Patent No. 2,535,719 which shows permanent magnets 8 with pole pieces  10 extending from one side of the drum to the other. 
 As the material moves under the belt  9, the permanent magnets of the concentrator assembly 11 which have alternate polarities along the length of the belt and the magnetic poles extending across the belt cause the magnetic material to flip over and over as it moves along between the belts. When the magnetic material reaches the end of the belt 8, it adheres to the belt  9 and is carried onto the magnetic hopper  2 while the non-magnetic material falls off the end of the belt 8 into the hopper  3. 
 When the material is fed from the feeder  15 onto the belt 8, the permanent magnets in the drum  7 will induce magnetism into the magnetic particles and recondition them by causing them to be attracted to each other. Their behavior is such that they arrange themselves into short strings or slivers. The induced magnetism remains in these strings. Then, as the material moves with belt 8 under the permanent magnets in the concentrator assembly 11, the magnetic strings are automatically aligned parallel to the magnetic lines of force of the permanent magnets. Then it will be observed that as the particles move because of fricton and momentum through the arc shaped magnetic fields of the succeeding magnets, the strings must travel in an end-over-end path, accomplishing the desired agitation, thereby shaking out the occluded non-magnetic particles. 
 In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 3, a belt  208 corresponding to the belt 8 in FIG. 1 is shown. This belt is supported on a drum  207 which is a magnetic pulley as shown in FIG. 1. The drum may be tightened by a set screw  220. Material is fed through a hopper  234 and it moves down to a vibratory feeder  235 where it is deposited on the belt drum in the same manner as in FIG. 1. 
 In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIG. 4, a conveyor  335 deposits material in a chute  334 where it moves down into a vibratory conveyor  315. From thence, the magnetic material is picked up by a belt  308 and carried along the top of the belt while the nonmagnetic material falls down from the end on the vibratory feeder  315 into a suitable hopper. This action is carried out because a drum  307 has spaced magnets therein as in FIG. 1. 
 In the embodiment of the invention shown in FIGS. to 8, the machine has a frame  101 which supports a magnetic hopper  102 and a non-magnetic hopper  103 which are disposed at the discharge ends of  belts    109 and 108, respectively. The belt  109 is supported on  drums    104 and 105 which are, in turn, carried by pillow blocks  110 vertically adjustable for adjusting the angle of the belt  109 relative to the belt  108 and relative to frame members  114. The belt  108 is supported on  drums    106 and 107 which may be adjusted in the same manner as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1. The drums are driven by a suitable drive mechanism  112 which is illustrated in FIG. 6 and has a chain guard  137. A vibratory feeder assembly  115 carries the material from a suitable conveyor through a trough  116 onto the belt  108. 
 The drum  107 has spaced permanent magnets around the inner periphery thereof in a well known manner with horseshoe magnets extending from one side to the other of the pulley. These permanent magnets may be in the form of horseshoe magnets with each leg of each magnet extending transversely from side to side of the roll so that the magnetic polarity on the outer periphery of the roll alternates from north, south, north, south around the periphery of the roll. 
 The magnets of a concentrator 111 are supported above the belt with like poles adjacent each other so that the polarity along the belt alternates north to south to north. The magnetic concentrator 111 can be moved up or down or change its spacing from the belt  109 by adjusting nuts  140 on bolts  141, thereby controlling the strength of the magnetic field in the working area. These nuts  140 rest on either side of lugs  142 which are welded to members  130. 
 The foregoing specification sets forth the invention in its preferred practical forms but the structure shown is capable of modification within a range of equivalents without departing from the invention which is to be understood is broadly novel as is commensurate with the appended claims.
