Permanent magnet overbands are useful in many industrial sectors:
- Metal recycling: extraction of ferromagnetic particles from mixed waste.
- Mining: purification of raw materials by removing metal contaminants.
- Food industry and waste treatment: protection of machinery and improvement of finished product quality.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
How the Lenoir-Mec permanent magnet overband works:
- The device is suspended above a conveyor carrying bulk materials.
- Permanent magnets, usually made of ferrite or neodymium, create a powerful magnetic field that attracts ferromagnetic particles.
- These particles are then removed by a conveyor belt, which deposits them in a separate receptacle.
- This process is continuous, allowing for efficient magnetic separation without interrupting the flow.
Permanent magnet overbands feature a number of key characteristics:
No energy consumption: permanent magnets (ferrite or neodymium).
Flexible mounting: transverse or longitudinal.
Low maintenance: integrated self-cleaning system.
High performance: Extraction up to 500 mm working height.
