A coil wound around a magnetic pole, with an electric current passing through, creates a magnetic field. An iron material passing through this magnetic field will be attracted to the coil and automatically separated from the rest of the materials, thanks to the pins on the discharge belt. The electromagnetic Overband separator (R-SKM) can be installed either transversally or longitudinally. Metals, both ferrous and non-ferrous, form one of the material groups most considered in waste reduction, as they represent high value. Ferrous metals are the elements with the highest percentage and the most easily capturable by magnetic fields. Aware of the serious environmental problem, we have developed a complete range of Overband electromagnetic separators, both the electromagnetic Overband separator (R‐SKM) and the permanent magnetic Overband separator (R‐OMP), with the aim of achieving the separation, recycling, and recovery of ferrous metals. The physical principle for the operation of the electromagnetic Overband separator (R‐SKM) is based on an electromagnetic field generated through electrical excitation energy in a coil wound around a magnetic pole. Surrounding the coil, we find the other magnetic pole. Significant excitation on the coil provokes the magnetic field. Thus, a ferrous material crossing the magnetic field will be attracted towards the coil and thereby separated from the rest of the materials. The coil, as well as the magnetic poles, form the central part of a small conveyor belt. This belt has studs or locks to allow the continuous evacuation of any captured ferrous material.
