Suspended Electromagnets Automatic removal of tramp iron from material flows on belt conveyors or in chutes Manual Clean (MC) units must be periodically turned off in order to discharge iron accumulated on the face of the magnet. They are suitable for applications where only occasional tramp iron is expected. These magnets are usually suspended from a travelling trolley so that they can be swung clear of the conveyor before the iron is released. l Automatic removal of small or large volumes of tramp iron l Reliable and durable construction l Robust design to withstand harsh conditions and heavy- duty applications l Manual or self-cleaning models available, depending on amounts of iron contamination expected l Installation across the conveyor belt or over the discharge head pulley l Custom-built to suit a particular belt width and/or achieve a specific separation objective l Special designs for explosion proof applications, suitable for underground installation l All possible sizes - Eriez holds the Guinness World Record for the largest ever built! Self-Clean (SC) Suspended Electromagnets provide continuous, automatic removal of tramp iron and feature a heavy-duty belt, a channel frame for supporting the pulleys, adjustable belt take-up and drive. They are recommended where a large amount of tramp iron is expected or where there may be limited access to the magnet for cleaning purposes.

Installation Option 1: In-line Magnet suspended over the trajectory of material discharged from the belt conveyor. Position MC1 or SC1 - see Figs 1a and 1b. This is the preferred option because it is the most efficient use of the magnetic separator, ie when the burden is ‘opened up’ in flight and is moving directly toward the magnet face. The iron’s momentum towards the magnet can assist in its separation. When the magnet is in this position, it is essential that the conveyor head pulley is made of a non-magnetic material. Option 2: Cross Belt Magnet located over the moving bed of material and...
