OVERBAND SEPARATORS

In-Line Overband Magnet

In-line overband magnets are positioned directly in line with the main conveyor and extraction conveyor, allowing ferrous material to be lifted and carried away in the same direction as the material flow. This setup is ideal for high-speed conveyors or deeper burden depths, offering enhanced recovery with reduced wear and contamination.

OVERBAND SEPARATION

How it works

Installed above a conveyor, the Overband Magnet uses a high-intensity magnetic field to attract ferrous metals from the material flow below. A continuously moving belt transports the captured metals away from the magnetic field, allowing the cleaned product to continue along the conveyor. This non-contact separation ensures efficient removal of steel and iron without interrupting throughput.

IN-LINE OVERBAND MAGNETS

The advantages:

Cleaner ferrous output with less contamination from surrounding material
Improved extraction performance, as ferrous items are less entrapped during material drop-off
Extended magnet length enables greater separation distance from non-ferrous content
Alternating pole magnet extension encourages release of trapped non-magnetic material
Less belt wear, especially for longer or sharper ferrous objects that no longer need to change direction
Reduced working gap, since the magnet aligns directly with the conveyor and doesn’t need to clear side frames or troughing
