Magnetic Pulleys

Magnetic Pulleys are ideally used as head pulleys in belt conveyor systems to improve the purity of product and to protect the process equipment from tramp metal damage. The pulleys provide continuous and effective removal of ferrous metal from the product flow. This method of permanent magnetic ferrous metal separation requires the installation of magnetic pulley at the discharge end of the conveyor replacing the existing pulley. A divider plate can be installed to ensure that no remixing occurs when product falls freely from the end of the line into storage bins or processing chutes. Any ferrous metal that is mixed in with the product is attracted and held to the face of the belt and carried to the underside of the pulley. This type of separation acts as secondary protection for deeply embedded metal in the product, which may have not been initially extracted by other process of an overhead suspension magnet.
