OVERBELT SEPARATOR

Material Recycling

• Wood

• Plastic

• Glass

• Ferrous and non-ferrous metals

• Various

Applications

• Waste and scrap recovery plants

• MSW and WEEE selection plants

• Crushing of aggregates

• Mineral grinding

Principle of Operation

In these separators, an extractor belt runs around a magnet that attracts the ferrous material, which is then conducted to a discharge area.

Once separators are installed—at height or on the ground, transversal or longitudinal to the flow of materials—it is possible to adjust:

• Their inclination

• The distance between the magnet and the belt

Our machines meet the specific needs of the user by being customizable in terms of size and magnetic force.

Magnetic Field Generation

In these separators, the magnetic field is generated by (aluminum or copper) wound on a steel core with low carbon content and high magnetic permeability.

Advantages of Electromagnetic Control

• The magnetic field can be activated and deactivated remotely.

• The magnetic field is characterized by great depth—effective even with high thickness of process material.

• Available with electric or hydraulic motorization.

• Can be installed on belts between 500 mm and 2,200 mm wide.

Permanent Magnet Options

1. Ferrite

   • Widely used

   • Resistant to high temperatures (up to 300 °C)

   • Generates a deep field

2. Rare Earths (Neodymium alloy, iron and boron)

   • High magnetic induction

   • Very high coercive force

   • Suitable for separating small-sized materials or those embedded in inert material (e.g., wired glass or slightly magnetic steel)

Advantages of Permanent Overbelt Technology

• Significantly reduces consumption and allows savings, as it does not require energy.

• Even in continuous operation, the magnetic performance remains constant over time.
