A magnetic density separator comprising a process channel through which in use magnetic process liquid and particles to be separated flow in a flow direction, a magnetization device that is arranged to extend in flow direction along at least one of the walls of the channel so as to in use apply a magnetic field to the process liquid in a separation zone of the channel to establish a cut density of the magnetic process liquid to separate the particles in the process liquid based on their density, a laminator through which the magnetic process liquid is introduced into the channel to flow laminarized in flow direction along the separation zone, and a feed through which a mixture of process liquid and particles to be separated is introduced into the process channel to join the laminarized process liquid, characterized in that the feed includes an entraining device.
