hamos KMS electrostatic mineral separators sort heavy mineral sands economically and with good separation results into single-variety fractions. The dry process utilizes the differences in the conductivity of the minerals for separation. From sands containing heavy minerals (for example ilmenite, rutile or zircon sands) and other suitable sand mixtures, desired constituents can be concentrated and undesired foreign materials separated.
With hamos EMS electrostatic mineral separators, mineral mixtures such as quartz and feldspar can be separated into their components by dry means. The feldspar, for example, is separated and the quartz is concentrated. By utilizing the tribo-electric behavior of the individual minerals, the hamos EMS separates your mixed materials into pure fractions with little effort.
In order to achieve an optimum separation result with the hamos KMS, the mineral mixtures to be separated must be as follows:

We show you which purities and throughputs we achieve with your material. Based on these separation results, you will receive our test report. We then offer you the optimum device or system for your application.
hamos KMS
Before electrostatic separation, the dry mineral mixture is conditioned. Neither chemicals nor liquids are required for this.
In the hamos KMS electrostatic separator, the pretreated mineral mixture is fed via a metering unit onto separation drums and electrostatically charged. Conductive minerals release their charge to the grounded drum and are thrown off by rotational forces. Non-conductive minerals, on the other hand, slowly lose their charge and adhere to the roller surface, from which they are brushed off.
Thanks to a flexible machine concept, the hamos KMS mineral separator can achieve the highest purities at high throughput rates. In addition, different separation strategies can be pursued, specially adapted to the respective deposit.
hamos EMS
The dry mineral mixture must be dedusted and conditioned before electrostatic separation. Conditioning does not require any chemical additives or liquids. In the hamos EMS separator, the mineral mixture is now charged by tribo-electric effects in a specially designed charging unit. In the process, the individual material components take on material-specific charges with different polarities.
In the separator, electrostatic separation into positively and negatively charged components takes place by means of a high-voltage electrostatic field. Adjustable separator plates are used to optimize the product purities.
