Self-Cleaning Drawer Magnetic Separator Optimizes Purification Process for a Ceramic Powder Manufacturer

2026-01-27

Case Study: Ceramic Powder Purification

The Challenge

A ceramic powder manufacturer was struggling with its material purification process: its traditional drawer magnetic separator required manual disassembly and cleaning every 3 hours to remove trapped ferromagnetic impurities, leading to frequent production line shutdowns. This resulted in an overall equipment availability rate of only 79%, and residual iron impurities in the powder caused a 10% product defect rate due to surface blemishes on finished ceramic products.

The Solution

To resolve these issues, the manufacturer adopted TMY Machinery’s Self-Cleaning Drawer Magnetic Separator. The device uses a modular array of high-strength tube magnets to capture impurities as small as 0.2μm, while its automated drawer-type cleaning system scrapes contaminants into a dedicated discharge chute during operation—eliminating the need for manual disassembly and downtime. The fully enclosed design also prevents dust escape, reducing material loss to less than 0.4%.

The Impact

After implementation, the production line’s availability rate rose to 95%, and the product defect rate dropped to 1.5%. The enterprise reduced labor costs by 62% and cut annual maintenance costs by approximately $98,000. This upgrade enabled the manufacturer to meet the strict purity requirements of high-end ceramic applications, such as electronic substrates and precision components, helping it secure long-term contracts with key customers in the electronics industry.
