Impact Resistant Slider Bed
MPI’s Beltless Magnetic Conveyor provides a robust and low-maintenance solution for transporting sharp, oily, hot, or abrasive ferrous materials without traditional belts. It employs powerful magnets attached to a moving chain assembly beneath a smooth stainless-steel slider bed, ensuring efficient material handling while minimizing issues like belt wear and misalignment. The conveyor is ideal for metalworking environments, effectively transporting metal scrap, turnings, chips, and fasteners. With several models and configurations available, including options for feeders and hoppers, the BLM series is designed for rugged use and operational uptime. Features such as a liquid-tight, sealed housing, an internal self-adjusting tension system, and a durable slider bed made from stainless steel contribute to its maintenance-free operation. American-made drive packages further enhance its reliability and performance.

Beltless Magnetic Conveyor Product Details
Powerful permanent magnets move ferrous metal objects below a nonmagnetic stainless steel slider bed. The liquid-tight, sealed conveyor housing can be completely submerged in machine reservoir tanks, and the internal self-adjusting take-up system eliminates the need for maintenance. No external moving components make the beltless magnetic conveyor the safest way to convey ferrous metal parts and scrap.
Loading Area
Ferrous scrap or parts are introduced onto the stationary slider bed surface at the intake end.
Magnetic Transfer System
Below the surface, a series of powerful magnets are mounted to a continuous chain-driven assembly.
Movement Under the Surface
As the chain moves, magnets glide beneath the slider bed, pulling the ferrous materials along from above.
Incline/Discharge
Materials are conveyed horizontally or up an incline—held firmly by magnetic force—until they reach the discharge point.
Release Zone
The magnetic field disengages as the magnets recirculate, allowing the conveyed materials to fall away cleanly at the discharge end.
Loop Reset
The magnetic carriers return underneath the housing, ready to begin the next cycle.
