How MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION changed fine dolomite production in a lime plant (case study)
Initial situation
A German family-owned lime plant engaged in limestone mining and lime production faced an issue with metal and rusty particles in a fine dolomite product (< 0.1 mm). The material was conveyed by a screw conveyor; the whole process had to be enclosed due to dust while keeping the lowest possible installation height.
Problem description
During loading and conveying, metal impurities entered the product, which:
- damaged downstream process equipment,
- caused downtime and higher service costs,
- threatened final product quality.
The goal was clear: remove metals as early as possible in the material flow and without unnecessary operator work.
Solution
After an operational analysis, the self-cleaning magnetic separator MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION was selected. This solution was ideal for very fine, dusty material and an enclosed conveying system.
The device ensured:
- reliable separation of even very fine ferromagnetic particles,
- trouble-free integration within a low installation height,
- automatic cleaning without operator intervention,
- smooth material flow without limiting production.
Benefits – MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION
By deploying the separator, the customer achieved:
- cleaner dolomite product free of metallic impurities,
- equipment protection and longer service life,
- less downtime and lower maintenance costs,
- stable, steady operation.
The result? A satisfied customer and trouble-free production.
Advantages of MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION
- Automatic cleaning – minimal operator effort, lower operating costs
- Robust industrial design for demanding applications
- Excellent price/performance ratio
- Magnetic induction up to 16,000 G – captures even the finest metal particles
Used equipment: Magnetic separator MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION
Conclusion
The installation of MSSJ-AC HD 400 N SCORPION brought a qualitative breakthrough to the lime plant’s production process, increasing productivity, reducing operational risks, and strengthening the company’s competitiveness.
