LBL-1 Variable-Field Lab Wet Magnetic Separator

800–4,000 Gauss, co-/counter-current tank — direct industrial verification against the Davis tube

The LBL-1 is a laboratory wet low-intensity magnetic separator with a continuously adjustable 800–4,000 Gauss field, a co-current / counter-current convertible tank and a visible field-strength readout. It takes a 2–10 kg batch or runs continuously at up to 2 t/h, so results scale directly to plant duty instead of stopping at a few grams of Davis tube sample.

Typical applications

Mixed iron ore (Fe recovery verification)Magnetite beneficiation test workPlant-scale confirmation of Davis tube resultsFlowsheet development for wet magnetic circuits

Why this design

  • 2–10 kg per pass — big enough that sample heterogeneity stops distorting your results
  • Field is adjustable, not stepped, so you can map grade-vs-recovery across the whole range
  • Results are directly comparable against Davis tube data — no re-basing of your historic numbers
  • Same machine family as our industrial separators, so lab settings transfer to plant duty

Buy or rent, no plant project required · Free preliminary sizing · Quotation in one business day

How we work with you

  1. Free preliminary assessment — send us your ore type, feed size and duty; we recommend the right configuration at no cost.
  2. Verification — run the machine in your lab, or through our accredited partner laboratory (full test programmes are quoted per sample set).
  3. Quotation in one business day — machines ship in a crate worldwide; installation support is remote or on-site.

Frequently asked questions

How does the LBL-1 compare with a Davis tube?

It uses the same separation principle, but accepts a 2–10 kg sample instead of a few grams and runs continuously, so it verifies what the Davis tube indicates. Clients typically use the Davis tube for screening and the LBL-1 for bankable verification.

Can we rent it instead of buying?

Yes — rental is available for selected lab separators. Ask for rental terms with your enquiry.
