Application:

MPI's RECEIVING BELT MAGNETS (RBM Series) are designed to remove both large and small types of tramp metal from product streams conveyed by belts for speeds up to 700 feet per minute. The tramp metal captured by the magnet accumulates across the entire magnetic face, substantially increasing the amount of tramp iron the magnet can retain before cleaning is required.

Operation:

MPI's RBM Series magnet consists of a large plate magnet mounted inside a support frame and suspended over the conveyed product stream. The receiving belt magnet should be suspended approximately 5 to 8 inches above the product stream for optimum tramp metal removal. The magnet should be located in an area that has easy access to allow for proper maintenance. Also, the magnet should operate in an area of the belt where no integral parts of the conveyor can become magnetized, such as idler rollers or belting support plates, as this may cause excessive wear on the conveyor system. To clean the magnet, simply turn the collection pan winch to draw the pan across the magnet face. The pan retains the tramp metal as it is removed from the magnet. Once the pan is drawn entirely across the magnet face, it can be removed, emptied and re-installed on its track and positioned back to the magnet's far side.
