Permanent Suspension Magnetic Separator for Conveyor Belt & Bulk Material Handling

Power Magnetronics manufactures and supplies Suspension Type Magnets for continuous removal of ferrous contaminants, tramp iron and unwanted steel particles from bulk materials transported through conveyor belts, chutes and material-handling systems.

A Suspension Magnet is installed above a conveyor belt or material flow to generate a strong magnetic field that attracts ferrous contaminants while the non-magnetic material continues through the conveying system.

Power Magnetronics designs suspension magnetic separators for demanding industrial applications including mining, coal handling, cement plants, stone crushers, aggregate processing, mineral processing, sponge iron plants, steel plants, recycling, power plants and other bulk material handling industries.

What is a Suspension Type Magnet?

A Suspension Type Magnet is a permanent magnetic separation unit suspended above a conveyor belt, vibrating feeder or suitable material flow.

As material passes beneath the magnetic field, ferrous contaminants such as:

Iron pieces

Steel particles

Nuts

Bolts

Wire

Metal fragments

Tramp iron

Other ferrous objects

are attracted toward the magnetic surface and separated from the non-magnetic material.

Power Magnetronics manufactures suspension magnets in configurations selected according to conveyor width, material characteristics, burden depth, belt speed, capacity and required separation performance.

How Does a Suspension Magnetic Separator Work?

The operating principle of a Suspension Magnetic Separator is based on the attraction of ferromagnetic material by a permanent magnetic field.

The suspension magnet is positioned at a calculated height above the conveyor belt. When the material passes underneath, the magnetic field penetrates the material burden and attracts ferrous contaminants toward the magnet.

The cleaned material continues along the conveyor, while the captured ferrous material is removed manually or through a self-cleaning arrangement depending on the design.

Basic Separation Process

Bulk Material → Conveyor Belt → Magnetic Field → Ferrous Metal Attraction → Ferrous Removal → Clean Material

Power Magnetronics selects the magnetic system and installation arrangement according to the actual operating conditions of the plant.

Permanent Suspension Magnet

A Permanent Suspension Magnet uses a permanent magnetic circuit to generate the required magnetic field without continuously consuming electrical power for magnetization.

Power Magnetronics can engineer permanent suspension magnets for applications where reliable ferrous metal removal and low operating requirements are important.

Permanent suspension magnets are particularly useful for removing tramp iron from material streams before the material reaches crushers, grinders, screens, mills and other sensitive downstream equipment.

Manual Cleaning Suspension Magnet

Manual cleaning suspension magnets are suitable where the quantity of ferrous contamination is relatively low and periodic cleaning can be carried out by plant personnel.

The captured ferrous material is manually removed from the magnetic surface at suitable intervals.

This configuration can provide a simple and economical solution for selected conveyor applications.

Self Cleaning Suspension Magnet

For applications with frequent ferrous contamination or continuous high-volume material handling, Power Magnetronics can provide a self-cleaning configuration.

A self-cleaning suspension magnetic separator uses a moving belt arrangement around the magnetic assembly to continuously carry captured ferrous material away from the magnetic field and discharge it at a designated location.

This configuration can reduce manual cleaning requirements and is suitable for continuous-duty applications.

Suspension Magnet for Conveyor Belt

A Suspension Magnet for Conveyor Belt is selected according to several important operating parameters.

Power Magnetronics evaluates:

Conveyor belt width

Belt speed

Material feed capacity

Material bulk density

Particle size

Material burden depth

Type of ferrous contamination

Size and weight of tramp iron

Magnet-to-conveyor working distance

Conveyor inclination

Available installation space

Required separation efficiency

These parameters determine the appropriate magnetic configuration, dimensions and installation arrangement.

Applications of Suspension Magnet

1. Coal Handling Plants

Power Magnetronics suspension magnets can be installed above coal conveyors to remove tramp iron before the material reaches crushers, pulverizers and other downstream equipment.

2. Mining Industry

Suspension magnetic separators are used in mining and mineral processing systems to remove unwanted ferrous metal from bulk mineral streams.

3. Stone Crusher Plants

A suspension magnet can help remove iron pieces, bolts, wires and other tramp metal that may accidentally enter the crushing process.

4. Cement Plants

Power Magnetronics suspension magnets can be used in bulk material handling systems for removing unwanted ferrous contamination and protecting downstream equipment.

5. Aggregate Plants

Suspension magnets are suitable for aggregate, crushed stone and other bulk material processing applications where tramp iron can cause equipment damage.

6. Sponge Iron & Steel Plants

Suspension magnetic separators can be incorporated into suitable material handling systems in sponge iron and steel plants for ferrous separation and equipment protection.

7. Recycling Plants

Power Magnetronics suspension magnets can be used for ferrous metal recovery and removal from suitable recyclable material streams.

8. Power Plants

Coal and other bulk material conveying systems can use suspension magnets to remove unwanted iron and steel contaminants.

9. Mineral Processing

Suspension magnets can be used in mineral processing applications involving quartz, limestone, silica, ores, aggregates and other dry bulk materials where tramp iron removal is required.

10. Food & Grain Processing

For suitable dry bulk material applications, suspension magnets can be used to remove larger ferrous contaminants from grain and other material streams.

Suspension Magnet vs Overband Magnetic Separator

The terms Suspension Magnet, Suspended Magnet and Overband Magnetic Separator are sometimes used interchangeably in the market, but the equipment configuration can differ.

A basic suspension magnet may use a fixed magnetic assembly that requires manual cleaning.

An overband or self-cleaning magnetic separator generally incorporates a moving belt mechanism to automatically remove captured ferrous material.

Power Magnetronics can recommend the appropriate configuration according to the frequency of contamination, material burden, conveyor arrangement and operating requirements.

How to Select a Suspension Magnet?

Correct selection is important for achieving effective ferrous separation.

Before selecting a Suspension Magnetic Separator, Power Magnetronics recommends providing:

Material name

Material capacity in TPH

Conveyor belt width

Conveyor belt speed

Material particle size
