ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENDED SEPARATORS

Self Cleaning and Manual

Electromagnetic self-cleaning magnet Electromagnetic manually-cleaned magnet

2&4 Pulley Construction - Belt Speeds up to 700 FPM. Ideal for Tramp Iron Removal

Deep penetrating electromagnets, incorporating all of the latest innovations in coil design, allow Walker's electromagnetic suspended separators to remove both large and small tramp metal from deep burdens on fast-moving conveyors. The separators are designed for continuous operation at peak performance. Electromagnetic suspended separators are available in manual and self-cleaning designs. Manually cleaned magnets are discharged electrically. Self-cleaning magnets can be mounted in line with the material flow or transverse to remove the ferrous materials over the side of the conveyor.
