Magnetic Box Rails and T Type Box Rails are usually mounted in tandem with magnetic pulleys and other rails beneath a conveyor’s belt. The standard design provides quick installation to a conveyor’s framework or table and can be custom designed and manufactured to fit your specifications.

Pulleys are typically used as transfer devices in belt conveyors. As metal nears the pulley’s magnetic field, it is attracted and held to the conveyor’s belt until it reaches the transfer point.

      • Flat Stainless Steel (FS): This is the most economical option offered and provides a durable non-magnetic stainless steel belt running surface.
      • Flat Stainless Steel with Centering Track Bar (FSTB): This is an economical way to provide a degree of center belt tracking, without the expensive costs of crowning.
      • Crowned Stainless Steel (CS): This is the most expensive option and offers a durable non-magnetic stainless steel-belt running surface with a belt centering crown.
      • Crowned Vulcanized Rubber (CVR): This option offers both an economical way to provide a belt-centering crown design and improved belt traction.
      • Crowned Vulcanized and Lagged Rubber (CVRL): This option can be added to any vulcanized rubber roll where belt traction is critical. It is available in a variety of standard patterns, such as herringbone, diamond, etc.
