Overband Magnet
Magnetic separation system that automatically removes ferrous metals from waste streams on conveyor systems, protecting downstream equipment, improving material quality, and enhancing metal recovery rates with continuous self-cleaning operation.
Overview
Automatic Ferrous Separation
Powerful electromagnetic or permanent magnet system automatically extracts ferrous metal contaminants from waste streams on conveyor belts, ensuring continuous and efficient metal recovery.
Adjustable Positioning
Flexible mounting options and adjustable height settings allow optimal positioning above conveyor systems to maximize metal capture efficiency across varying material depths and flow rates.
Self-Cleaning Design
Continuous belt cleaning mechanism automatically removes captured metals and deposits them in collection bins, enabling uninterrupted operation without manual intervention.
Key Benefits
Enhanced Recovery
Maximize ferrous metal recovery from waste streams for increased revenue and resource conservation.
Equipment Protection
Remove metal contaminants before downstream equipment to prevent damage and costly repairs.
Product Quality
Improve quality of processed materials by removing unwanted ferrous contamination.
Continuous Operation
Self-cleaning design enables 24/7 operation without manual metal removal.
Low Maintenance
Robust construction with minimal moving parts reduces maintenance requirements.
Versatile Applications
Suitable for various industries from recycling to mining and aggregate processing.
Technology & Operation
• Material flows on conveyor beneath the magnet
• Ferrous metals are attracted and lifted from the waste stream
• Captured metals are held against the magnet belt
• Self-cleaning belt carries metals away from the magnetic field
• Metals drop into collection bin or discharge chute
• Clean magnet returns to capture more metals
Electromagnetic:
Powered by electric coils, offering adjustable magnetic strength and instant on/off control for maximum operational flexibility.
• Variable magnetic force
• Quick release capability
• Deep magnetic reach
• Requires electrical power
Permanent Magnet:
Uses powerful rare-earth magnets requiring no electrical power, ideal for remote locations and reducing operating costs.
• No power consumption
• Continuous magnetic field
• Lower operating cost
• Maintenance-free magnets
