A large non-ferrous metal processing enterprise was facing a production capacity bottleneck: its outdated magnetic separation equipment could not meet the demand for higher purity in copper and zinc concentrates, resulting in an iron impurity content of 1.5% in the final product—failing to meet the 0.5% standard required by downstream smelters. The enterprise also struggled with high maintenance costs and 12% downtime due to frequent equipment failures.
To address these challenges, the enterprise placed a bulk order for TMY Machinery’s High-Efficiency Magnetic Separators. The robust blue-framed units feature a high-gradient magnetic field design, capturing impurities as small as 0.1 μm with a removal efficiency of over 99.6%. Their heavy-duty construction ensures 24/7 continuous operation, while the modular design allows for quick installation and integration with existing production lines.
After deploying the batch of separators, the iron impurity content in metal concentrates dropped to 0.42%, fully meeting smelter requirements. The production line availability rate increased from 78% to 95%, reducing annual maintenance costs by $1.8 million and boosting annual output by 22%. This upgrade enabled the enterprise to secure long-term supply contracts with international smelting groups, significantly strengthening its position in the global non-ferrous metal supply chain.
