Permanent Overband Magnetic Separator

Name: Permanent Overband Magnetic Separator
Brand: COWIN MAGNET

Product role

Overview and how it fits the process

The Permanent Overband Magnetic Separator is an overhead conveyor magnet used to capture ferromagnetic tramp material from a bulk stream. A final arrangement may use manual cleaning or a continuous discharge option according to the contamination load, line availability and the safe area available for collected metal.

Correct selection is based on the actual conveyor width, speed, material burden, suspension distance, installation direction and tramp iron risk. The permanent magnetic system should not be represented as an electromagnetic unit or as a guarantee for non-ferrous separation.

Selection logic

Why this configuration needs site information

01

Defined magnet position

The separator is selected around the actual conveyor path, discharge point and available suspension space.

02

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.

03

Conveyor data first

Belt width, speed, material layer depth and the largest expected tramp item are required before a model can be confirmed.

04

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.

Product FAQ

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.
