About this file
This is a Statement of Work for the GiGi Project procurement of a magnetic separator for NASA Glenn Research Center.
The procurement requires one Bunting Laboratory Single Disc High Intensity Magnetic Separator (or equivalent) for the Generic Granular Feedstock Beneficiation System for Planetary Surface Construction (GiGi) Project. The project objective is to combine multiple regolith beneficiation magnetic technologies into a system proof-of-concept to support lunar and Mars surface infrastructure development. The magnetic separator will be incorporated into the system and used to collect operational data. The equipment must be a single-disc cross-belt horizontal magnetic separator suitable for dry granular mineral material with a throughput of 30-50 kg/hr and a footprint not exceeding 1.5 m x 2.5 m. Key technical specifications include a magnetic intensity of 1.8-2.0 Tesla at minimum gap, adjustable feed hopper and vibratory feeder, abrasion-resistant conveyor belt with variable speed control, and separate removable collection bins for each output product. The equipment must operate on U.S.-standard industrial power. Equipment acceptance requires successful separation of a mixture of sandy silt (90 wt%) and ilmenite particles (10 wt%) into clean splits at 30-50 kg/hr for at least one hour, with throughput measured by collecting combined-output samples from all splits simultaneously for at least one minute beginning 30-50 minutes after test initiation.
Ancillary services include a minimum one-year warranty with phone support, user's manual documentation, and on-site setup and checkout. Delivery is required by November 6, 2026, with a performance period of 20-25 weeks as required. The place of performance is NASA Glenn Research Center, 21000 Brookpark Road, Cleveland, OH 44135-3191, specifically the SLOPE Lab, 23-W2.

STATEMENT OF WORK
GiGi Project Procurement: Magnetic Separator
1. Objective/Requirements
Exploring and commercializing space requires surface infrastructure on the Moon and Mars to be created and maintained. Tapping local resources reduces the constraints of launching materials from Earth, but the appropriate technologies are being developed individually, silo-fashion, and are not addressing their common need for consistent supply of usable feedstocks. The Generic Granular Feedstock Beneficiation System for Planetary Surface Construction (GiGi) Project will combine multiple high-TRL regolith beneficiation magnetic technologies into a system proof-of-concept, test it with simulants of regolith and of process waste, and evaluate the overall and inter-subsystem efficiencies. The requested Bunting Magnetics Laboratory Single Disc High Intensity Magnetic Separator (or Equivalent) will be incorporated into this system and used to collect data.
2. Characteristics, Scope, and Specs
Part # Description Qty
MDS 1-100 BUNTING LABORATORY SINGLE DISC HIGH INTENSITY MAGNETIC
SEPARATOR (or Equivalent)
1) Feed Hopper: fabricated from T.304 stainless steel with adjustable gate to ensure uniform distribution of material across the full width of the feeder tray.
2) Vibratory Feeder: with 220-volt electro-magnetic drive and T.304 stainless steel tray.
3) Conveyor belt: 100mm wide polyester belt joined endless. Aluminium drive and tail drums are mounted on self -lube pillow block bearings and driven by 0·37 kW variable speed geared motor.
4) Disc: is directly driven by a 0·37 kW variable speed geared motor. The disc incorporating tooth formation at the working zone to ensure a magnetic intensity of 1·8-2·0 Tesla is attainable at the minimum gap. This type of separator extracts minerals on a selective basis in order of magnetic susceptibility; this is achieved by setting the operating gap at different heights from the belt.
5) Permanent magnet Scalper 1000 Gauss: To remove any highly magnetic particles.
6) Magnet Circuit: the high permeability mild steel circuit is energised by a pair of continuously rated, naturally cooled, copper coils insulated to BS class H temperature spec. The coils will give a total power consumption of 417 watts.
7) Supporting Steelwork: all parts are mounted on a robust mild steel framework of welded construction. Suitable pads will allow installation on a level concrete floor. Lifting points will be provided and will be clearly marked.
8) Control Panel: this is a wall mountable panel providing constant current DC supplies for the coils from a 3 phase AC supply entering the panel via door-interlocked isolator. Vibratory feeder, conveyor belt drive, disc motor and coil circuit are all controlled from separate potentiometers, each section being provided with on/off pushbutton.
Technical Specifications for Equipment to be Procured
Single-disc cross-belt horizontal magnetic separator suitable for dry granular mineral material (silty sand), to incorporate the following:
o Completely dry material stream no liquid or gas of any type.
o Throughput: 30-50 kg/hr o Feed Hopper with adjustable gate for uniform distribution of material across full width of feeder tray.
o Vibratory Feeder with adjustable frequency and adjustable throw
(amplitude).
o Abrasion-resistant conveyor belt with variable speed control.
o Magnetic disc:
Magnetic intensity of 1.8-2.0 Tesla at the minimum gap above belt.
Gap above belt is finely adjustable and lockable.
o Fits within 1.5 m x 2.5 m footprint o Separate, removable collection bins for each output product o Power: Suitable for operation in U.S.-standard industrial setting.
Ancillary Services to be Provided
Warranty: Minimum 1-year warranty with phone support
Setup and checkout on-site
Equipment Acceptance Criteria
