The device used to separate minerals based on their magnetic properties is called a Frantz Isodynamic Magnetic Separator. The magnetic separator consists of a large electromagnet through which mineral mixtures can be passed on a metal trough which is divided near its exit end. Varying the strength of the magnetic field and/or slope of the

Company founder Samuel G. Frantz pioneered the science of magnetic separation technology, engineering the Frantz Isodynamic Separator, which became the leading device for separation according to magnetic susceptibility.. Because the Frantz Isodynamic Separator has a virtually unlimited useful life, elements of the LB-1 Magnetic Barrier Laboratory Separator were

strength required for separation of the mineral in the Frantz Isodynamic Separator at a fixed transverse slope (15 o) and its composition affords a rapid and an elegant method for the separation of orthopyroxenes. The composi- tion of any orthopyroxene in terms of

The Frantz Isodynamic Magnetic Separator (FIMS) is a versatile instrument and can produce excellent concentrates of many minerals. Substantial literature has been published on the subject of mineral separations performed with the FIMS [Citations omitted]. The MBLS has a significant advantage over the FIMS in the ratio of magnetic force to field

Magnetic separators used during the study were Frantz Isodynamic Magnetic Separators, Model L-1*. The original brass chute in each machine was replaced by an aluminum chute milled in the USGS machine shop. The isodynamic vibrator at the upper end of the chute was replaced by an asymmetric vibrator, as described by Faul and Davis (1959)

Frantz Isodynamic Magnetic Separator (inclined position) USING MINERALOGY TO IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF A SAMPLE I. Introduction We have previously used sand size-distributions to try and determine the location of a crime. However, similar sedimentary environments, for example low-energy beaches, will yield similar size-distributions. A

FRANTZ. MAGNETIC SEPARATOR. (Model L-1) Principles of design. The Isodynamic Separator consists essentially of an electromagnet having two long pole pieces shaped to a special contour (shown in simplified form in the sketch below) with a long narrow air gap between them. Materials to be separated are fed into one end of the magnetic field (1

The Frantz Isodynamic magnetic separator is a precision laboratory instrument and consists of a chute passing through two electromagnetic poles. The magnetic field and/or chute slope can be varied to separate fine, dry mineral samples. The method of separation is on a particle by particle basis and is hence used as a benchmarking tool for

The MHS separator described in this report (fig. 2) was constructed around a modified Frantz Isodynamic Separator1, which is used to provide the required magnetic field. The modifications are such that 1Use of brand or manufacturers' names in this

S.G. Frantz Canister Separator (Model L-1CN) is a bench-top high-gradient, high-intensity canister-style magnetic separator used for processing liquid suspensions of fine particles.Because the magnetic gap inside the L-1CN is narrow, the number of ampere turns required is substantially less than other designs

A calibration of the Frantz isodynamic magnetic separator relates the current in the electromagnet and the transverse slope of the chute to the specific susceptibility at which separation is being effected. In addition to providing a rapid measure of the specific susceptibility of minerals and composite grains, the calibration provides a guide to operation of the Frantz isodynamic separator
