Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in a dry magnetic separation system for increasing the recovery of magnetic ore from the feed material. The system includes a separator which has a magnetic head-pulley assembly mounted in one end of an endless belt conveyor loop. When the conveyor is run at high speeds some of the ore is thrown off the head-end of the belt instead of being retained on it by the magnetic pulley. Those ore particles that are retained are carried onto the lower flight of the belt from which they are dropped into an ore chute. To recover the magnetic portion of the "thrown" ore, an adjustable splitter is located outwardly of the pulley-head at a lower elevation than the belt. The splitter also directs these partially magnetic particles into the ore chute and the non-magnetics to a tailings chute.
