Magnetic separator

An overbelt magnetic separators is employed when a large amount of Ferrous inert is present in the waste flow. This type of separator extracts and expels ferrous intrusions, ensuring optimal product cleaning and freedom of use for the machine operator. These separators do not need an electrical panel. They are supplied ready for installation and operation thanks to a direct connection to an electric motor. An overbelt magnetic separator is used in the first stage of refining the process material such as glass, wood, plastic, post-combustion slag, USW, OFMSW, etc. HOW ARE THEY MADE An overbelt separator is made up of: 1 Permanently magnetized central magnet which attracts the ferrous material; 1 Rubber Belt with transversal cleats which moves the attracted ferrous material clear of the magnetic field causing it to fall away into bins; 2 (or more) Drums that support and make the belt slide; 1 Gearmotor directly spliced to one of the drums to transfer the motion to the belt. HOW DO THE OVERBELT SEPARATORS WORK The magnet enclosed within the separator generates a magnetic field directed towards the conveyor belt beneath. The Ferrous material is attracted by the magnet and thus removed from the material flow. The extractor belt of the separator is equipped with transversal cleats that push the attracted ferrous tramp metal towards the discharge point. Here, the intensity of the magnetic field gradually reduces facilitating metal release.
