How Suspension Magnets Integrate with Metal Detectors and Separators
In bulk material handling industries such as mining, ceramics, food processing, and chemicals, the removal of ferrous impurities is essential to ensure product purity, equipment integrity, and regulatory compliance. The combination of suspension magnet units with metal detectors and magnetic separators, and in particular with drum separator systems, constitutes a strong contamination control system that is very effective in removing ferrous metal from a wide range of particle sizes and materials. Function of Suspension Magnets in Contamination Removal A suspension magnet is hung above conveyor belts to pick up tramp ferrous metal from the material flow. They are either electromagnets or permanent magnets and never come into contact with the product. They are ideal for the removal of larger ferrous items like bolts, nuts, rods, and tools that have mistakenly made their way into the material stream. The magnet continuously operates, giving non-intrusive separation without decreasi...
