DRUM MAGNETS
How it works
Material is fed onto the rotating surface of the magnetic drum. Ferrous metals are attracted and held by the magnetic field, carried around the drum until they exit outside the magnetic zone. Non-magnetic materials drop away naturally, ensuring clean separation. With top-fed, curtain-fed, and bottom-fed options, our systems adapt to your plant layout and material flow.

Magnet Systems
We offer a wide range of permanent and electro magnet systems and will discuss which is best for your application.
Permanent Deep Field Ferrite
Standard for most uses, available in single or double pole
Permanent Rare Earth
Ideal for lightweight, high-performance units
| Feed Type | Material Presentation | Separation Mechanism | Best Suited For |
| Top Fed | Material is delivered directly onto the top surface of the drum | All material travels a short distance around the drum; ferrous is held and carried further before discharge | Compact layouts where gravity-fed systems are preferred |
| Curtain Fed | Material falls in a stream (curtain) past the drum’s surface | Ferrous is attracted mid-fall and held to the drum; non-ferrous continues to drop away. | Applications needing visual inspection or consistent flow across the drum face |
| Bottom Fed | Material is presented to the underside of the drum via feeder or conveyor | Ferrous is attracted upward and carried over the drum; non-ferrous drops away below | Heavier-duty systems or where material flow is controlled from below |
