Suspended Permanent Magnets

Permanent suspended magnets, also known as permanent suspension magnets, are highly effective devices designed to remove ferrous contaminants from bulk materials in various industrial applications. These magnets are typically suspended over conveyor belts or chutes, utilizing powerful magnetic fields to attract and capture ferrous particles such as tramp iron, steel shavings, and other unwanted metal debris. Made from high-quality materials like neodymium or ferrite, these magnets offer exceptional strength and durability, ensuring reliable performance even in the most demanding environments.

Permanent suspended magnets are widely used across multiple industries, including mining, recycling, plastics, food processing, and construction. Their ability to enhance product purity and protect processing equipment makes them an essential component in many production lines. Unlike electromagnetic separators, permanent suspended magnets do not require electrical power to operate, making them a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution for ferrous separation.

With a variety of sizes and configurations available, permanent suspended magnets can be tailored to fit specific operational needs. They can be installed at various heights above conveyor systems to optimize their magnetic reach and effectiveness. 

Effective Ferrous Contaminant Removal: Permanent suspended magnets efficiently capture and remove ferrous materials, such as tramp iron and metal debris, ensuring product purity and protecting downstream processing equipment.

Energy-Efficient Operation: Unlike electromagnetic separators, permanent suspended magnets do not require electrical power to generate their magnetic field, resulting in lower operational costs and energy consumption.

Low Maintenance Requirements: With a robust design and optional self-cleaning features, these magnets minimize maintenance needs, allowing for continuous operation and reduced downtime.

Versatile Installation: Available in various sizes and configurations, permanent suspended magnets can be easily integrated into existing conveyor systems or chutes, providing flexibility for different applications and layouts.

Durable Construction: Built with high-quality materials such as stainless steel, these magnets are designed to withstand harsh industrial environments, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
