Overbelt magnet

Permanently magnetic overbelt magnets are used when foreign iron content is to be removed automatically from bulk materials. Permanent magnets are maintenance-free and have an unlimited service life. The overbelt magnet is placed at a certain distance above the conveyor belt. The magnet, protected by a wear plate, attracts the iron parts from the bulk material. If the overbelt magnet is equipped with a discharge conveyor, the debris adheres to the underside of the belt and is continuously transported by the circulating belt that is equipped with cleats. Since the area of the tail pulley and drive pulley is non-magnetic, the parts fall off in this zone and are collected via chutes or containers.
