On October 24, industry experts and mining representatives gathered in Lianyungang, China, for a forum on large-scale intelligent magnetic separation equipment and high-quality mining development.
During the on-site visit, more than 100 academicians and experts, along with representatives from research institutes and mining companies in China and overseas participants observed Huate Magnet Group’s 7-meter vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator in operation. According to production data shared by the operating company, the unit achieved a single-unit processing capacity of more than 1,600 tonnes per hour at processing operation.
The site also featured 6-meter and 4-meter vertical ring magnetic separators and a model 1560 drum magnetic separator.
The demonstration highlighted the Huate magnetic separator’s industrial performance, stable operation and intelligent control capabilities, offering a practical reference for large-scale beneficiation of iron ore.
Industrial Operation in a Large Iron Ore Processing Line
The 7-meter vertical ring magnetic separator is being tested in continuous production at a Brazilian iron ore processing plant operation with a reported scale of tens of millions of tonnes.
According to production information shared by Xin Qili New Materials Co., Ltd., the equipment has achieved a single-unit processing capacity of more than 1,600 tonnes per hour.
The operating team also reported stable performance and unit energy consumption that was better than expected.
These operating results provide an industrial reference for large-scale magnetic separation in iron ore mining and processing. Actual performance may vary with ore properties, feed conditions and process settings.
Key Features of the 7-Meter Vertical Ring Magnetic Separator
During the site visit, participants reviewed the equipment structure, matrix boxes, intelligent control system and operating data. Discussions covered processing capacity, energy use, blockage prevention and remote maintenance.
Key features reported by the operating team include:
● High processing capacity: More than 1,600 tonnes per hour per unit, based on the reported operating data.
● Matrix blockage prevention: An anti-fluidization matrix box is designed to address matrix blockage during operation.
● Intelligent control: A distributed control system supports unattended operation and remote maintenance.
● Stable industrial operation: Continuous production verification provides practical operating evidence.
● Resource utilization: The installation has helped improve overall mineral resource utilization and concentrate quality, according to the source material.
These features are relevant to mineral beneficiation seeking higher throughput, more reliable equipment operation and better process control.
Expert and Customer Feedback
During the event, Song Shaoxian, a member of the Mexican National Academy of Sciences, noted the growing demand for large-scale intelligent magnetic separation equipment as mining operations move toward smarter and greener production.
He also recognized Huate’s long-term work in mineral processing equipment and its development of large-scale, intelligent and environmentally focused magnetic separation technologies.
Gu Chenggang, Chief Engineer of Xin Qili New Materials Co., Ltd., shared feedback based on production data. He highlighted the unit’s processing capacity, operating stability, anti-fluidization matrix box and intelligent control system.
At the event, overseas clients visiting China shared positive feedback, drawing on the specific resource contexts of their respective home countries.
They noted that they have long followed Huate’s technical prowess in high-gradient magnetic separation and integrated solutions; this on-site observation further solidified their confidence and provided a fresh, comprehensive perspective on the robust, high-performance equipment that “Made in China” represents.
A partner from South Africa highlighted the stable, ongoing collaboration between the two sides, noting that the successful industrial-scale implementation of the 7-meter vertical-ring magnetic separator serves as a testament to Huate’s innovative capacity to consistently push the boundaries of mineral processing technology.
They expressed a desire to further deepen the partnership and introduce these innovative mineral processing solutions to the South African mining market.
Supporting More Efficient and Intelligent Mineral Processing
The 7-meter unit marks another step in Huate Group’s development of large-scale vertical ring high gradient magnetic separators, following its 5-meter and 6-meter models.
Huate develops magnetic separation technologies for mineral processing applications. According to the company, it is the only enterprise worldwide to master permanent magnet, electromagnetic and low-temperature superconducting magnetic separation technologies.
Its services cover:
■ Mineral processing tests
■ Process design
■ Equipment manufacturing
■ EPC engineering solutions
■ Full-life-cycle equipment operation and maintenance
This integrated approach helps mining companies assess equipment and process options based on their ore properties, production targets and plant conditions.
New Equipment Expands Huate’s Technology Portfolio
The forum also introduced two new flagship products:
◆ LHGC-8000 MAX 8-meter vertical ring high gradient magnetic separator: Designed for large-scale processing of bulk minerals.
◆ CGC-1000 Ultra Plus helium-free low-temperature superconducting high gradient magnetic separator: Developed for deep purification of fine and ultrafine minerals.
Together with the operating 7-meter unit, these products expand Huate’s equipment portfolio for different ore processing needs.
