Advantages
Electrostatic separation can separate minerals with similar physical characteristics, such as size, shape, density, or color, but different electrical properties. This makes it useful for separating minerals that are difficult to distinguish by other methods, such as zircon, rutile, ilmenite, monazite, or cassiterite. Another advantage of electrostatic separation is that it can process dry materials, which reduces the water consumption and environmental impact of the operation. Moreover, electrostatic separation can be applied to a wide range of particle sizes, from microns to millimeters, and can handle high capacities and throughputs.
The advantages of electrostatic separators are large ore processing capacity, good separation effect, low cost, and high degree of automation.
ARC plate-type electrostatic separator advantages

- Low maintenance cost
- The arc plate electrostatic separator is simple to manufacture and does not have too many maintenance parts, so the maintenance cost is relatively low.
- Versatility
- Arc plate electrostatic separator can be used to separate particles according to their size and impurity level and to improve the grade and has a wider range of applications.
- Simpler operation
- The arc plate electric separator adopts an intuitive and simple operation method. The entire separation process can be completed by just pushing the ore into the equipment with an excavator.
Roller electrostatic separator advantages
- Efficiency

Structures & Working Principle
ARC Plate Electrostatic Separator Structure
Arc plate electrostatic separators comprise a feeding system, an electric field system, a consumables collection system, and a high-voltage DC power supply.
- The feeding system consists of a hopper, a vibrator, and a feeding mechanism, and is mainly responsible for spraying the raw materials into the electric field system;
- The electric field system consists of arc plates and brackets, and is mainly responsible for generating a high-voltage DC field;
- The consumables collection system is to capture and collect the separated materials from under the arc plate into a designated collection box;
- The high-voltage DC power supply is the core component of the arc plate electrostatic separator, responsible for providing high-voltage power, controlling the strength of the electric field, and the separation effect.
Roller Electrostatic Separator Structure
This roller electrostatic separator is composed of three parts: the main machine, the high-voltage electrostatic generator, and heating. The main machine is composed of two upper and lower rollers, corona electrodes, static electrodes (deflection electrodes), brushes, and ore separation plates.
Electrostatic Separator Working Principle
An electrostatic separator is a device that uses electric field force to separate materials with different charges. Its working principle is as follows:
- Define electric field: An electrostatic field is generated inside the electrostatic separator, that is, a voltage is applied between two electrodes to form an electric field with positive and negative charges.
- Material transportation: The material to be processed is transported to the feed port of the electrostatic separator by the feeder.
- Feed electrostaticzation: After the material enters the electrostatic separator, it will also carry corresponding positive and negative charges due to the electrode’s charge.
- Use electric field force: Charged materials will be affected by electric field force in the electric field. Positively charged materials are attracted by the negative electrode, and negatively charged materials are attracted by the positive electrode. According to the characteristics of the material and the parameters of the electric field, this electric field force can separate the material into different components.
- Separation and collection: The material is separated under the action of the electric field force, and the separated materials will move along different tracks and finally be collected by the collection device.
The electrostatic separator can only separate charged substances and not affect uncharged substances. In the design of the electrostatic separator, it is necessary to reasonably select the electric field parameters and the shape and layout of the electrodes to ensure efficient substance separation.
