Over Band Magnetic Separator

Product Details:

Suspended permanent magnetic overband separators are designed to eliminate tramp metal from the product carried by a belt, vibratory feeders or inclined planes. Overbands are mainly used to protect machines such as crushers, shredders and others; to remove ferrous particles and to purify products (in industries like foundries, coal mines, cement works, food, sponge iron, charcoal, glass, chemical industries and domestic waste recycling plants). The permanent magnetic overband separators are used when an automatic removal of ferrous contamination is necessary. If not, fixed permanent suspension magnets are more suitable.

Applications:

Five types of separators are redesigned to operate at a predetermined working gap over the conveyor: 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 mm. Idler and drive drums will be of rolled steel construction fitted with high-tensile steel shafts and mounted in self-lubricated, dust-sealed plumber blocks. Adjuster screws would be fitted to provide tension take-up on idler drums.

Installation:

These units can be installed either inline over the terminal head pulley or transverse to the conveyor. In both cases, it is necessary to foresee non-magnetic products under the magnetic field. The most effective position is an inline over-the-head pulley. The material being conveyed is in virtual suspension and tramp iron is therefore more readily extracted. Very good results are obtained by combining a permanent magnetic overband with a permanent magnetic pulley at the discharge end.
