Self-Cleaning Rotary Magnetic Separator Reduces Downtime for a Rare Earth Processing Enterprise

2026-01-27

Case Study: Enhancing Production Efficiency in Rare Earth Processing

A rare earth material processing enterprise was facing significant bottlenecks in its production: the traditional fixed magnetic separator required manual cleaning every 2 hours to remove accumulated ferromagnetic impurities, causing frequent production line interruptions. This resulted in an overall equipment availability rate of only 76%, and the residual impurities in materials led to a 9% product defect rate.

To address these issues, the enterprise adopted TMY Machinery’s Self-Cleaning Rotary Magnetic Separator. The device features a high-strength rotating magnetic drum paired with a PTFE scraper, which continuously removes captured impurities during operation, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and downtime. Its enclosed structure also prevents material leakage, ensuring dust-free operation and reducing material loss to less than 0.3%.

After implementation, the production line’s availability rate increased to 94%, and the product defect rate dropped to 1.2%. The enterprise reduced labor costs by 55% and cut annual maintenance expenses by approximately $120,000. This upgrade enabled the enterprise to meet the strict quality standards of downstream aerospace and electronics customers, strengthening its market competitiveness.
