The S.G. Frantz Series F2 Electromagnetic Separators utilize magnetic background fields of approximately 2,500 gauss. The standard water-cooled model can handle product temperatures up to 176°F (80°C), while special thermal insulated units can handle product temperatures up to 400°F (205°C).

The F2 series is designed to separate fine ferromagnetic particles under difficult processing conditions, with background magnetizing fields of at least 2,500 oersteds measured in the empty separating chamber, and well above 2,500 oersteds with the matrix in place — more than twice that of models in the F1 series.

The background field induces a field several times more intense in the collecting elements, with a high-field energy gradient H(dH/dX) at the collecting edges of a standard matrix element fabricated of steel ribbon 1/4 in width and 0.02 thick calculated as 7.2 x 1011 gauss2/cm (assuming that the field induced in the steel near the edge is about 8,500 gauss, as measurements indicate).

All models require a continuous flow of clean, low dissolved solids cooling water, at 3 to 6 gpm, and minimum pressure differential of 30 psi.
Multiple-length matrix is indicated by three digit model number, e.g., Models 243-F2 and 263-F2 have double-length matrices.

Our Series F2 Electromagnetic Separators for wet materials are used to process and separate liquids, slurries and gases. They are available in the following two designs (with individual models configured to meet customer needs).

F2 Gravity Flow Electromagnetic Separators

For open systems of liquids and slurries, we offer the 71/241/261-F2 Gravity Flow models, which work by feeding material into an open bowl at the top, processing them through proprietary grids or other matrix materials, and then discharging the remaining liquid through a centered port with pipe thread connection at the bottom.

F2 Pipeline Electromagnetic Separators

For closed systems of liquids and slurries, S.G. Frantz offers the 73/243/263-F2 Pipeline Flow models, which work by feeding material through a threaded inlet pipe connection at the center bottom, processing them through proprietary grids or other matrix materials, and then discharging the filtered liquid through a pipe connection at the side, near the top. This design allows for complete flooding and uniform flow throughout the matrix, as well as easy access to the matrix assembly for maintenance.
