WEMCO HMS Drums

The WEMCO® Heavy Media Drum Separator is probably the world's best known processor for dense media separation of coal and minerals in the size range of 300 mm (12") to 6 mm (1/4").

The WEMCO Drum Separator combines high efficiency with the unique feature that all mechanical drive parts are external to the drum-there are no buckets, chains or other moving parts within the processor. This reduces significantly the wear caused by abrasive media solids, minimizes replacement costs and greatly simplifies maintenance.

Drums are available in sizes from laboratory scale to 5.4 meters (18') diameter x 8.1 meters (27') long in two or three product separation format ; in capacities, for coal, up to 900 metric tons per hour (1,000 stph).
