Overhead Magnets
Overhead Magnets are non-electric suspended type separators. No external power source is required for the magnet. During operation, tramp iron contained inside material conveyed under the magnet is magnetically attracted. Magnetic force lifts the metal to the face of the magnet. Metal attracted by the self-cleaning model is automatically and continuously removed from the magnet face by a belt that travels around the body of the magnet.
This maintenance-free design has no moving parts and requires no power supply. A convenient three-point sling assembly is included with your magnet. Just suspend it over the conveyor or over the headpulley and it’s ready to pick up those stray metal fragments before they can cause damage to downstream equipment. When the magnet surface starts to fill up, swing the magnet away from the conveyor and dislodge the attracted metal. Swing it back over the conveyor and you’re back in operation.
