High-Intensity Magnetic Separation Line for Ultra-Pure Silica

TechnoSil needed an advanced purification circuit to remove paramagnetic and ferromagnesian impurities from raw quartz sand feeds destined for photovoltaic solar glass manufacturing.

Metzix supplied high-gradient wet magnetic separators with specialized matrix arrangements delivering field strengths up to 14,000 Gauss, complemented by our wear-resistant polyurethane-lined spiral chutes for preliminary heavy mineral roughing.

The complete beneficiation train was pre-assembled and tested at our facility prior to on-site assembly, achieving the client's target iron impurity threshold on the initial trial run.

Key Results & Performance Metrics:

• Fe2O3 content reduced from 0.085% to 0.015% consistently
• Feed throughput capacity of 180 TPH validated on continuous 24/7 duty
• Zero downtime during first 180 days of commercial operation
• Product qualifying for Tier-1 solar photovoltaic panel cover glass grade
