Suspended Self-Discharging Magnetic Separator
Effortlessly remove ferrous contaminants from conveyor-fed material streams, protect downstream equipment, and keep your recycling or sorting line running continuously.
Effortless Metal Separation. Cleaner Material Flow.
Streamline your processing line, protect valuable downstream equipment, and ensure product purity with an overhead separator that works continuously above your conveyor.
Powerful Magnetic Performance
Equipped with a high-intensity magnetic core featuring a strategic blend of Neodymium Iron Boron and Ferrite, it captures challenging ferrous metals effectively from deep material burdens.
Automated Self-Cleaning
The integrated cleated belt automatically discharges captured metal away from the main flow, supporting continuous operation with minimal maintenance.
Designed for Your Line
Engineered for conveyor belts up to 800mm wide, a standard suspension height of 250mm, and material burden depths up to 300mm.
Built Tough
Constructed with robust Q235 steel and options for SU304 stainless steel components, supporting long service life in demanding industrial environments.

Self-Discharging Overband Magnet vs Head Pulley & Manual Plate Magnets
Selecting the appropriate magnetic separator protects downstream machinery from tramp iron, minimizes plant downtime, and ensures operator safety.
| Performance Metric | Energycle Overband Magnet | Permanent Magnetic Head Pulley | Manual Clean Suspension Plate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discharge Automation | 100% continuous automatic self-cleaning via armored cleated cross-belt | Automatic discharge under conveyor head chute during material discharge | Requires manual stopping and physical scraping of captured scrap iron |
| Burden Penetration Depth | Deep magnetic reach extracting tramp metal through 300 mm–450 mm burdens | Limited to shallow burdens under 100 mm; cannot reach deeply buried metal | Moderate reach (150 mm–200 mm); flux decays rapidly as captured iron builds up |
| Conveyor Belt Protection | Suspended above conveyor; extracts sharp metals before they contact the belt | Traps metal against belt face until discharge; risk of belt puncturing | Accumulated jagged scrap can drag across burden and gouge conveyor belts |
| Operator Safety & Uptime | Hands-free operation eliminates injuries from handling sharp jagged tramp metal | Hands-free discharge, but chute inspection required to avoid metal blockages | High risk of lacerations during manual cleaning; frequent production stoppages |
| Installation Flexibility | Easily retrofitted above existing conveyor belts in cross-belt or in-line layout | Requires major conveyor teardown to replace existing drive pulley and bearings | Simple suspension rigging, but requires ample clearance for manual cleaning |

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers regarding suspension height, magnetic core gradients, and automated tramp metal discharge.
A suspended self-discharging magnetic separator is mounted directly above a conveyor belt or head pulley to attract and extract ferrous metals (such as rebar, nails, wire, bolts, and tramp iron) from material passing below. An integrated continuous cleated rubber belt travels around the magnet block to eject captured metals sideways into a collection hopper, enabling non-stop operation without manual operator cleaning.
Suspended separators should be positioned at the head of the plant (typically above an infeed belt conveyor or chain waste conveyor) to capture tramp metal before it reaches sensitive downstream machines. This prevents catastrophic rotor damage, knife fracturing, and costly downtime in shredders, granulators, and pelletizing extruders.
Standard operating suspension heights range from 150 mm up to 450 mm above the belt bed, depending on the material burden depth, conveyor belt width, and magnet strength. We select high-gradient NdFeB (neodymium rare-earth) or deep-reach ferrite permanent magnet assemblies engineered specifically to pierce through dense material beds.
Permanent magnetic separators use high-energy permanent magnet blocks that consume zero electrical power for the magnetic field, providing decades of constant, non-degrading attraction without overheating risks. Electromagnetic separators generate intense magnetic flux via energized copper coils, suitable for ultra-deep burden depths (500+ mm) but requiring continuous power and transformer rectifiers.
