Continuous Tramp Metal Removal for High-Speed Conveying
MPI’s Self-Clean Suspended Electromagnet is a robust, high-performance magnetic separation system engineered to automatically remove large and medium tramp iron from heavy burden depths of material on fast-moving conveyor belts. Featuring a durable oil-cooled electromagnet and a motorized self-cleaning belt system, this unit provides continuous, automated removal of ferrous contaminants, ensuring maximum protection for downstream processing equipment and reducing costly unplanned downtime.
Ideal for rugged industrial environments such as mining, aggregates, and recycling, the system is designed for conveyed speeds up to 250 feet per minute and excels in applications where consistent, hand-free operation is critical. The self-cleaning design eliminates the need for manual cleaning cycles, resulting in labor savings, increased throughput, and safer operation.

Self-Clean Suspended Electromagnet Product Details
Magnet Suspension & Positioning
The unit is suspended above a conveyor belt, typically perpendicular to the flow of product. Positioned at a strategic height, it creates a magnetic field that penetrates through the burden depth of conveyed material.
Tramp Metal Detection & Capture
As ferrous contaminants (such as bolts, tools, and scrap metal) pass beneath the magnet, they are drawn upward and held against the magnet face due to the powerful oil-cooled electromagnetic field.
Automatic Discharge via Self-Cleaning Belt
A heavy-duty, motor-driven belt travels continuously across the magnet’s surface, sweeping tramp metal away from the magnetic field to a discharge area—typically off the side of the conveyor. This automation eliminates the need to shut down the system for cleaning.
Continuous Protection
The system runs non-stop, ensuring that tramp metal is consistently removed from the process stream, protecting crushers, grinders, screens, and other sensitive equipment from costly damage.
