  • Separating device for separating magnetizable particles and non-magnetizable particles transported in a suspension flowing through a separating channel
    Patent number: 8584863
    Abstract: A separating device (1, 10, 14, 16, 17) for separating particles able to be magnetized and particles not able to be magnetized transported in a suspension flowing through a separating channel (3), has at least one permanent magnet (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) arranged on at least one side of the separating channel (3) for producing a magnetic field gradient which deflects particles able to be magnetized to said side, wherein a yoke (5) is provided for closing the magnetic circuit from the permanent magnet (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) to the side of the separating channel (3) opposite the permanent magnet (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d) and/or between two permanent magnets (4, 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d).
