Conveyor Tramp Iron Removal
Protect crushers, grinders, and screens from iron in bulk material streams.
Check Fit +Magnetic Separation Applications
Choose the separator by material behavior, not by industry name.
Every material carries tramp iron in a different way. Particle size, moisture, feed route, and layer depth decide the machine. The industry label is only a shortcut.
Choose by What Runs on Your Line
Same factory category. Different feed behavior. Different separator. That is where bad purchases usually start.
Recycled Metals
Recover ferrous metals from mixed scrap, ASR, shredded metal, and demolition waste.
Check Fit +Slag & Ash
Remove iron from incinerator bottom ash, steel slag, and fly ash before disposal.
Check Fit +Plastic Flakes & Pellets
Remove ferrous contamination to protect extruders and improve product quality.
Check Fit +Glass Cullet
Extract iron to improve glass purity and protect downstream equipment.
Check Fit +Mining & Minerals
Remove tramp iron from ore, aggregates, and minerals to prevent equipment damage.
Check Fit +鋳物砂
Clean foundry sand from embedded iron for reuse and better casting quality.
Check Fit +Battery Scrap Pre-Cleaning
Remove iron from battery shred before wet feed or fine recycling steps.
Check Fit +Same Industry. Different Material. Different Separator.
| Material Behavior | What It Means | Better Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Dry powder | Fine, free-flowing, low moisture | Suspended magnet or high-intensity drum |
| Granules | Small, free-flowing particles | Suspended magnet or drum |
| Crushed scrap | Irregular, sharp, mixed sizes | Overband magnet or drum |
| Thick belt layer | High depth on belt, heavy load | Overband magnet or crossbelt |
| Wet sticky material | Moist, clumps, sticks to belt | Drum magnet with scraper or special design |
| Abrasive slag | High wear, high temperature | Heavy-duty overband or wear-lined drum |
Application Detail Examples
Three common cases. The names look simple. The selection does not.
Conveyor Tramp Iron Removal
Use when
Bulk material on conveyor carries tramp iron.
Common problem
Crusher or grinder damage, downtime, repair cost.
Better equipment
Overband electromagnet or permanent magnet.
Details to send
Material photos, belt width, capacity, max piece size.
Not ideal for
Very fine powders without proper design.
Recycled Metals Recovery
Use when
Ferrous metal needs to be recovered from mixed scrap.
Common problem
Low recovery, contamination, and final product loss.
Better equipment
Drum magnet or crossbelt magnet.
Details to send
Photo, target size, belt speed, moisture.
Not ideal for
Non-ferrous metal separation.
Slag & Ash Iron Removal
Use when
Iron needs to be removed from slag or ash.
Common problem
Iron left in ash, poor quality, extra handling.
Better equipment
Overband or drum magnet with wear protection.
Details to send
Material photo, temperature, moisture, depth.
Not ideal for
Fine iron in wet sticky conditions.

Where Magnetic Separation Is Not Enough
| Material / Goal | Why It Is Not Enough | What You May Need |
|---|---|---|
| Aluminum | Non-magnetic | Eddy current separator |
| Copper | Non-magnetic | Eddy current separator |
| Stainless Steel | May be weak or non-magnetic | Metal detector or special system |
| Wet Sticky Material | Iron may be trapped in clumps | Washing, drying, or special design |
| Thick Layer | Iron buried deep in material | Reduce layer depth, stronger magnet |
| Mixed Plastic Sorting | Magnet only removes ferrous metal | Air classifier, NIR, gap, or density separation |

Custom Fit Process
Four steps. No mystery. No “buy first, regret later” nonsense.
01
Material Check
We review your material photos and line details.
02
Separator Match
We recommend the right magnet type and model.
03
Line Fit
We check installation space, mounting, and integration.
04
Drawing & Build
We provide drawings, confirm details, and manufacture.
Frequently Asked Questions
Real questions from real operators and engineers. If you do not see your question, ask us.
Start with feeding route, layer depth, particle size, moisture, and target iron size. The industry name comes later.
Send material photos, capacity, belt width, layer depth, moisture, target metal, and available installation space.
Some stainless steel can react weakly after deformation. Many grades are not reliable for normal magnetic separation.
A crossbelt magnet is a self-cleaning overband system. It suits continuous iron discharge on busy lines.
Use the right magnet material, heat design, wear lining, and enough clearance from hot material.
Reduce clumping first. Then use scraper, drum design, or a custom cleaning structure.
Check belt wear, scraper contact, bearing condition, mounting bolts, and collected iron discharge.
Yes. Send sample details first. We will tell you what test result is realistic before shipping anything.
