In-Line/Cross Belt/Over Band Magnetic Separator

Manufacturer & Supplier of Overband Magnetic Separator

Magnetic Separators of these types are suitable for similar duties to Suspension Magnet, but discharges the extracted tramp iron automatically and continuously on the side of conveyor or beyond its head pulley.

They are preferred for applications where there are frequent occurrences of the tramp iron or the installation position make the collection of iron from static magnets inconvenient or impracticable.

The most important application of these Magnetic Separators is for the removal of iron particles from materials on a conveyor belt. For this purpose, the magnet system then removes all the iron particles from the material flow passing underneath it.After leaving the magnetic sector, these iron particles then fall into a collecting tray.The operational side of the magnet is protected by a wear – resistant S.S.- 304 plate. Safely and automatically remove tramp iron from heavy product flows.

O.B.M.S. are used for resource recovery, reclaiming steel for resale and separating ferrous contaminant from the other recycle material such as crushed aluminum, glass, plastic, tires concrete or wood. Many facilities use O.B.M.S. to protect machinery, such as crusher at quarries, cement plants and mines.At Power Plants, they keep tramp metal out of Coal Pulverizes, Pulp and paper mills use them on wood chips. In Foundries, they removes chills, spruces and gaggers from sand.

Application

• Protection of Processing Equipment such as Crushers,pulverizer, Conveyors,Belts, Screen etc.
• Purification of product or ingredient for higher quality end product by removing iron from material in process such as foundry sand,glass cullet,grain,food products,chemicals,etc.
• Reclamation of either the ferrous or non-ferrous material from open hearth and blast furnace slag,incinerator and garbage plant products etc.
• Recovery of steel from steelworks slag.
• Salvage of valuable tools, Cutter bits and machinery parts.
• Reclaiming steel for rescale and separating ferrous contaminants from other recyclable material such as aluminium,glass,plastic,tyres,curshed concrete or wood.
• Many facilities use Magnetic Separator to protect machinery such as crusher at quarries.
• Cement plants: They keep metal out of coal pulverize.
• pulp & paper mills use them on wood chips.
• The extraction of tramp iron from coal conveyors to protect pulverizing mills in power station and screen in collieries.
• Foundries they use to remove chills, spruces and gaggers from foundry return sand.
• Recovery of ferrous metal from household or industrial refuse (Garbage Plant).

An overband magnetic separator is a type of magnetic separator used to remove ferrous contaminants from materials carried on a conveyor belt. This separator utilizes a magnet that is suspended above a conveyor belt, with the magnetic field penetrating the conveyed material.

Here’s how it generally works:

• Suspension System: The magnet is suspended above the conveyor belt either by a suspension system or a crossbelt arrangement.
• Magnetic Field: When the magnet is energized, it generates a strong magnetic field.
• Attracting Ferrous Materials: Ferrous materials within the conveyed material are attracted to the magnetic field and pulled up and away from the conveyor belt.
• Discharge: As the conveyor belt moves, the attracted ferrous materials are carried around and discharged away from the material flow.
• Continuous Operation: The process is continuous, allowing for effective removal of ferrous contaminants from a stream of material on the conveyor belt.

Overband magnetic separators are widely used in industries such as mining, recycling, and bulk handling where ferrous contaminants need to be removed to protect downstream equipment and ensure product purity. They are effective in removing large pieces of ferrous materials such as bolts, nuts, nails, and other metal debris from conveyed material streams.
