The NoBLOCK Technology A Major Breakthrough in Wet High Intensity Magnetic Separation (WHIMS)

Since its introduction in 1963 by G.H. “Jones”, WHIMS MS has proven to be, worldwide, a major technology for separating several types of ore fines from their contaminants. Unfortunately, despite its superb characteristics, even if the best operational procedures are followed, one main issue lasts. It is the blocking of the matrix gaps by oversized particles. Protection screens have been employed to wipe out this blockage, though only partially effective. Creative methods and tools have been developed to facilitate and speed up the cleaning process. But, in fact, along 50 years, the matrix ...
