SEPARATION OF IRON METALS BY THE ELECTROMAGNETIC OVERBELT (R‐SKM) INTRODUCTION Both iron and non‐iron metals make up one of the groups of materials to have a greater presence in waste reduction, since they involve a great worth. Iron metals are the highest percentage elements and are the most easily captured by magnetic fields. Aware of the serious environmental problem, REGULATOR‐CETRISA has developed a complete line of separation equipment: the Electromagnetic Overbelt (R‐SKM) and the Permanent Magnetic Overbelt (R‐OMP), in order to be able to separate, recycle and recover iron metals. PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE The physical principle for the operation of the Electromagnetic Overbelt (R‐SKM) is based on an electromagnetic field generated by electric excitation energy on a coil that is rolled over a magnetic pole. The other magnetic pole is found surrounding the coil. A significant excitation on the coil will provoke the magnetic field. This way, iron material that crosses the magnetic field will be attracted to the coil and therefore separated from the rest of the materials. The magnetic block forms the central part of a small conveyor belt. This belt has plugs or locks to allow the continuous evacuation of any captured iron material. The Overband is located on the conveyor where the processed material circulates. It can be placed here in either transversal or longitudinal direction. In the transversal direction, the Overband can be located at any point along the conveyor. Transversal Overbelt Longitudinal Overbelt When the location is longitudinal, the installation should be done on the head roller of the conveyor to take

The Electromagnetic Overbelt (R‐SKM) is organized by families, according to measurements and magnetic magnitudes. The basic measurements of each family are shown in the following table: EQUIPMENT R‐SKM 6‐ R‐SKM 8‐ R‐SKM 9‐ R‐SKM 10‐ R‐SKM 12‐ R‐SKM 14‐ R‐SKM 16‐ Standard measurements.
