PERMANENT MAGNETIC OVERBAND SEPARATOR



for efficient separation of tramp iron

Jupiter Permanent Magnetic Overband Separator are used to separate ferrous metal from any kind of bulk material. They are used to recover magnetic particles from slag, industrial waste, foundry sand etc. and are utilized to protect crushers, belt conveyors, screens or grinders from metallic tramp particles.
When a large volume of tramp iron is expected, a self-cleaning type separator with extraction belt is more economical than a simple suspended magnet which is sufficient for small quantities. Most beneficial are Permanent Magnetic Overband Separator for small distances and economical operation.
Advantages:
        minimized operating cost
        explosion proof
        no electric connection of the magnet, just for the extraction belt
        heavy design
        low weight
        fast payback
        available with or without extraction belt (automatic or manual cleaning)
        tailor-made solutions
OVERBAND PERMANENT MAGNET SEPARATOR’S SOME INSTALLATION PROBLEM
The Cross Belt Overband Magnetic Separator is one of the most commonly used Magnetic Separators.  The simple design of two pulleys mounted on a frame with a magnetic block in the middle has been manufactured for decades.  As the name suggests, the Cross Belt Overband Magnetic Separator is positioned above a conveyor, either over the head pulley, or more, commonly across the belt. Unfortunately, the separation performance is often poorer than expected simply because the installation is not correct.  Here are 3 typical installation issues that can be easily remedied to improve the level of separation:

1.    Being suspended too high

Every Cross Belt Overband Magnet will be designed to operate at a specific height above the conveyor.  To accommodate an occasional surge of material, the Overband Magnetic Separator can be temporarily raised and then, as the magnetic field is further away from the conveyor belt, the separation performance falls.  Often, when the Overband Magnetic Separator is raised it is not then lowered back to the original position resulting in an ongoing poor separation performance.  If surges are common, a larger Cross Belt Overband Magnet suspended at a higher height may be the solution;

2.    Being too narrow for the conveyor

This can occur from day one, with the Cross Belt Overband Magnet not being wide enough for the conveyor width or when the Overband Magnet has been relocated within a plant.  This results in material being lifted out of the material and then dropped back onto the conveyor as the magnetic block is not wide enough to transfer and discharge the metal outside of the belt and framework.  The only solution is often to invest in a wider Magnet;

3.    Incorrectly positioned over the conveyor belt

Many Cross Belt Overband Magnets have a single pole in the center of the magnet block.  The maximum level of attraction and separation is achieved directly under this center line.  Often, and especially when the Cross Belt Overband Magnet is too narrow for the conveyor belt, the center line is positioned to one side of the conveyor nearer the area of discharge.  However, this means that it is less likely that any ferrous metal on the opposite side of the conveyor will be separated as the magnetic field is significantly lower.
