ElectoMax Overband Magnets

ElectroMax Overband Magnets are suspended electromagnetic separators engineered to extract ferrous tramp metal from bulk materials carried on conveyor belts. Positioned above the conveyor, they generate a controlled magnetic field that attracts ferrous contaminants from the conveyed product.

Once lifted from the material stream, captured metal is carried away from the magnetic field by a continuously running belt and discharged clear of the conveyor. This automatic discharge process allows tramp metal to be removed without stopping production or requiring manual intervention.

Designed for high-impact and high-volume applications, ElectroMax Overband Magnets are commonly used in recycling, quarrying, mining, and bulk material handling operations where tramp metal can cause equipment damage, downtime, or safety risks. Their robust construction and electromagnetic design make them well suited for harsh operating conditions.

Remove Ferrous Tramp Metal Automatically
Continuously extract iron and steel contaminants from conveyed materials without interrupting production.

Protect Downstream Equipment
Prevent tramp metal from damaging crushers, shredders, screens, grinders, and conveyors.

Provide Consistent Electromagnetic Separation
Electromagnetic design delivers reliable lifting force for ferrous metal removal in demanding applications.

Support Continuous Operation
Automatically discharge captured metal while the conveyor remains running.

Handle Harsh Operating Conditions
Designed for dusty, abrasive, and heavy-duty environments common in recycling and quarrying operations.

Help Reduce Downtime and Maintenance Costs
By removing tramp metal early in the process, systems experience fewer breakdowns and unplanned stoppages.
