STANDARD RECTANGULAR SUSPENDED MAGNET

Easy to install without modifying existing line. Just mount the unit at an angle over discharge point, or parallel to and above the conveyor.

Best position is at an angle over conveyor head pulley, or at the discharge point of the feeder. Here where material fans out and loosens up, the tramp iron literally jumps out and onto magnet face. Cost-wise, this installation provides the best tramp iron removal for the money. Magnet can be suspended parallel to and above conveyor when it is not feasible to locate it at an angle over head pulley. Here, However, you need a larger, stronger magnet to pull the tramp iron out of a stable, compact bed of material. In either case, tramp iron is easily removed with a manually operated magnetized arm that clings to the magnet face and easily sweeps tramp iron out and away.

IN-LINE AND CROSS-BELT MAGNETIC SEPARATORS

The in-Line and cross-belt magnetic separators provide a continuous and automatic discharge of collected tramp iron. Suspended over a conveyor, the powerful rectangular magnet pulls out tramp iron, while a cleated, self-cleaning belt discharges the tramp iron into a suitable receptacle away from the material in process. Automatic removal is especially desirable where the magnet removes large quantities of tramp Iron, and in purification applications such as foundry sand cleaning and slag processing. Also, there is no danger of tramp: iron dropping back onto the conveyor, and recontaminating the material in process.

The in-Line suspended separator automatically discharges tramp iron in the same direction as the main conveyor .-aV8i. Installed at an angle over the material discharge, the in-line magnetic separator, like the angle mounted. individual rectangular magnet, is the preferred unit and for the same reasons.

Furthermore, if there is a possibility of encountering long pieces of iron, such as roof bolts and drill rods, the in-Line not only is preferred -it is practically a "must". Since the self-cleaning belt of the in-Line separator always runs faster than the main conveyor, this is the only suspended separator that can safely handle long iron pieces without any danger of jamming and tearing up a long section of expensive conveyor belting.

The cross-belt suspended separator automatically discharges removed iron at right angles to the main conveyor travel as shown in Fig. 3 Cross-belts can be installed any where along the conveyor, and in some applications at an angle over the material discharge.
