High extraction of iron, stainless steel and fine grains

Pulley magnets, also known as rotary magnetic belt separators, are used for high extraction of iron. They can also be used to produce valuable stainless steel concentrates. Besides protecting downstream sorting processes like eddy-current separation, they also extend the lifespan of crushers such as cutting mills. Rotary magnetic belt separators can be supplied as an independent sorting machine. They can also be integrated or retrofitted within existing conveyer belts. This equipment has the capability to produce stronger magnetic forces, which are used for the separation of weakly magnetic materials such as stainless steel.

Powerful magnetic forces and rotary belt separators

Magnetic head pulleys operate in a traversing manner, ensuring efficient extraction of ferromagnetic materials. Strong magnetic forces separate magnetic substances like stainless steel. The separation principle relies on magnetic forces that attract ferromagnetic materials to the pulley surface. Based on the conveyor belt’s speed, non-magnetic materials are directed to the discharge parabola. Once the attracted materials reach the end of the magnetic force field, they fall into a discharge chute through a separating splitter. By extracting weakly magnetic materials, this improves wear and increases efficiency.
