Self-Clean Suspended Receiving Belt Magnet/Cross Belt Separator

MPI’s Self-Clean Suspended Receiving Belt Magnet (RBM) is an advanced tramp metal separation system designed to protect processing equipment and ensure product purity by continuously removing ferrous contaminants from material conveyed beneath it. The self-cleaning mechanism enhances efficiency by automatically discarding captured metal without interrupting production.

Step-by-Step Operation

Suspension & Positioning

• The RBM is suspended above a conveyor belt, positioned to intercept and extract ferrous contaminants from the material flow.
• Optimal suspension height is determined based on the application, ensuring maximum tramp metal capture while minimizing interference with the conveyed product.
• It is installed in a location where maintenance and cleaning can be easily performed without disrupting operations.

Magnetic Tramp Metal Capture

• As material moves beneath the suspended RBM, powerful permanent magnets generate a strong magnetic field that attracts and captures ferrous contaminants such as screws, nails, bolts, and metal shavings.
• The captured metal adheres to the magnetic plate surface, preventing it from continuing downstream and causing damage to processing equipment.

Continuous Self-Cleaning Mechanism

• The system features a motor-driven receiving belt that continuously moves across the face of the magnet.
• As the belt rotates, it pulls ferrous debris off the magnet’s surface and transports it away from the product stream.
• At a designated discharge point, the metal contaminants are released from the belt and collected in a disposal bin or chute.
• This automatic cleaning process eliminates the need for manual intervention, reducing labor costs and downtime.

Optimized for High-Volume Applications

• Designed for continuous operation in high-speed processing lines, the RBM effectively handles large material volumes without compromising separation efficiency.
• The receiving belt mechanism ensures minimal product carryover, preventing metal reintroduction into the material flow.
• The system operates at conveyor speeds of up to 250 feet per minute, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
