How It Works

How Magnetic Separation Works

Magnetic separators pull metal out of a moving stream of material, whether on a conveyor belt, in a chute or through a processing line. Ferrous metal is captured by magnets, and eddy current separators handle nonferrous metals.

In addition to ensuring product purity, magnetic separators prevent costly repairs and downtime by protecting processing equipment from damaging metal.

Reclaiming metals, recovering saleable materials and concentrating minerals are other important uses.

Warning Signs

Signs You Need Magnetic Separation

  • Metal found in finished product

  • Damage to mills, grinders or crushers

  • Downtime from tramp metal jams

  • Saleable metal lost in waste

  • Customer complaints about contamination

Separator Types

Overhead, Drum, Pulley and Processing Magnets

The right separator depends on where metal enters your process and how the material moves.

Overhead magnets hang above conveyors. Drum separators and magnetic head pulleys work in the material flow. Processing magnets sit in chutes and lines. Magnetic sweeps clean floors and yards.

Tell us your material, flow and where metal is getting in, and we will help select the right separator.

What do magnetic separators do?

Magnetic separators remove ferrous and nonferrous metals from material, ensuring product purity and protecting processing equipment from damaging metal.

By capturing metal before it reaches processing equipment, magnetic separators prevent costly repairs and downtime.

Yes. Reclaiming metals, recovering saleable materials and concentrating minerals are other important uses for magnetic separators.

Common types include overhead electromagnets, overhead permanent magnets, eddy current separators, drum separators, magnetic head pulleys, magnetic sweeps and processing magnets.
