The magnetic separator has a tank with a pair of dual conveyor chains, spaced
apart, at opposite sides of the tank. A plurality of frames with spaced apart magnetic
rods are suspended from the conveyor chains in a manner allowing the frames to
swivel and always hang vertically as the chains traverse their endless path. The
liquid in the tank flows through the frames and ferrous particles are attracted
to the magnetic rods. The rods are cleaned and the ferrous particles removed at
a wiping station. Each frame has a scraping edge which contacts the bottom of the
tank and drags out the non-magnetic particulate which has separated from the liquid.
