Continuous, Automated Iron Removal with Conveyor Head Pulleys
Magnetic pulleys are installed as replacement head pulleys at the discharge end of belt conveyor systems to achieve continuous, automatic separation of magnetic contaminants. As bulk material travels along the conveyor belt and reaches the head pulley, non-magnetic materials are discharged in their normal trajectory. However, ferrous contaminants are attracted by the powerful radial magnetic field of the pulley, held against the belt, and carried to the underside before being released into a reject collection bin.
Our magnetic pulleys are constructed with heavy-duty stainless steel drums and are available with either ceramic or high-intensity rare-earth neodymium magnets. Designed to handle large volumes of bulk products, these pulleys are a cost-effective solution for waste recycling, mining, mineral processing, glass recycling, and wood chips handling plants, helping to maintain product purity and avoid critical downstream crusher damage.
