Defined magnet position
The separator is selected around the actual conveyor path, discharge point and available suspension space.
Magnetic Head Pulley
A Magnetic Head Pulley is installed at the discharge end of a conveyor so the material trajectory separates as the belt turns around the pulley. Ferromagnetic material follows the magnetic route while the remaining material takes its normal discharge path, subject to the actual feed condition and conveyor geometry.

Product role
Overview and how it fits the process
A Magnetic Head Pulley is installed at the discharge end of a conveyor so the material trajectory separates as the belt turns around the pulley. Ferromagnetic material follows the magnetic route while the remaining material takes its normal discharge path, subject to the actual feed condition and conveyor geometry.
It is not a substitute for a high-suspension overhead magnet in every layout. Selection depends on the belt interface, pulley dimensions, feed depth, particle size, material trajectory, desired split and the available space at the conveyor discharge.
Selection logic
Why this configuration needs site information
Cleaning method matched to contamination
Manual cleaning suits lower contamination where a safe service stop is acceptable; self-cleaning is considered for continuous discharge requirements.
Conveyor data first
Belt width, speed, material layer depth and the largest expected tramp item are required before a model can be confirmed.
Site conditions matter
Dust, temperature, power availability and access for maintenance should be reviewed with the installation layout.

Selection checklist
What to send for an initial configuration review
- Confirm the installation direction: inline, cross-belt or at the discharge end.
- Provide a conveyor drawing or site photo where available.
- Allow a safe area for captured-metal discharge or manual cleaning.
Important boundary
- Not a substitute for an eddy current separator where non-ferrous recovery is required.
- Final selection cannot be confirmed from product name alone; conveyor and material conditions must be reviewed.

Questions to resolve before ordering
When is self-cleaning preferred over manual cleaning?
Self-cleaning is normally considered where ferrous contamination must be discharged continuously. Manual cleaning may be appropriate when contamination is low and the line can be isolated safely for service.
Should the magnet be installed inline or cross-belt?
The installation direction depends on belt speed, burden depth, the discharge side, available headroom and the required exposure to the magnetic field. The conveyor arrangement should be reviewed before selection.
What information is needed for a suspended magnet quote?
Please provide belt width, speed, material layer depth, suspension height, material description, the largest expected tramp item, desired cleaning method and a layout drawing or photos when available.
Can this separator remove all metals?
No. A magnetic separator is used for ferromagnetic contaminants. Non-ferrous metals and non-magnetic stainless steel require a different separation or detection stage.
