MSI’s magnetic pulley separators are an excellent means of providing magnetic separation or tramp protection on conveyor belt systems. These separators take advantage of the existing conveyor system by “holding” ferrous materials against the belt while non-ferrous materials continue on their normal trajectory. As the pulley rotates, the ferrous materials rotate with it. These materials are then discharged when the returning belt begins to break away from the head pulley. Because MSI’s magnetic head pulleys provide magnetic coverage from the bottom of the burden, they are very useful when used in combination with overhead magnetic separators that provide magnetic coverage above the burden.
