Magnetic Separator Guides
Plain-language engineering guides from the PTMS team on how magnetic separators work, how to choose one, and how iron is removed from kaolin, feldspar and quartz sand. Every number comes from PTMS product data or cited lab reports.

Where do I start?
Start with the guide to magnetic separator types and selection, then pick the material guide (kaolin, feldspar or silica sand) that matches your ore.
Can PTMS test my material?
Yes. Send 5–10 kg of your material to the PTMS factory in Foshan, China. The free test report with before-and-after iron content comes back within 5 days of receipt.
Send us your material. We test it free.
Tell us your material, particle size, capacity and target iron level. We usually reply with a matched model and price within 24 hours.
