Abstract:

A magnetic separator is provided with a plurality of successively disposed magnetic field producing members with each successive field being differently oriented so as to agitate the agglomerate of magnetic and non-magnetic materials as said agglomerate is moved from one field producing member to the next. Cleats are used to assist in moving the agglomerate so that as the agglomerate is moved from one field to the next, the magnetics snap, jump or rapidly move so as to drop or release the non-magnetics trapped with the magnetics.
