Magnetic pulleys help belt conveyors to separate metals
Eriez
When used with conveyor belt systems, these permanent and electric magnetic pulleys (photo) automatically separate heavy tramp iron contaminants from the transported materials. Facilities can convert their belt conveyor into a self-cleaning magnetic separators by adding the pulley. These pulleys are constructed of steel center tubes with welded dividers to securely hold magnet stacks. Standard pulley models use powerful ceramic magnets in an axial interpole circuit. These magnetic pulleys are available in a wide range of diameters, and larger sizes and customization options are available. — Eriez, Erie, Pa.
