Magnetic pulley are positioned at the “head” of belt conveyors to extract metal contamination from the product on the belt. As the roller rotates, it holds the tramp metal while clean product is discharged. Finally as the belt leaves the roller, the magnetism dissipates, and the unwanted contamination falls from under the belt into a separate receptacle. This type of magnet acts as secondary protection for deeply embedded metal in the product, which may have not been initially extracted by an overhead suspension magnet.

• Widely used in the recycling industry to separate steel from aluminum cans.
• As head pulleys on belt conveyors, they also provide maximum, continous protection against tramp iron contamination in the processing of materials such as chemicals, plastics, grains, food products, ceramic and coal.
• Our self-cleaning pulleys are equally effective in the separation of both large and fine metal particles from non-ferrous material.
• These easily installed units provide permanent magnetic strength and require no maintenance.
• Our pulleys are available in standard diameters of 4", 6", 8", 12", 15", 16", and 18". Face and shaft sizes are available per customer request.
• The pulleys are constructed with a stainless steel shell and are available with either radial or axial poles.
• Shafts are welded on 4, 6, and 8-inch models and are removable on all other sizes.
• Valcanized or rubber lagging and stainless steel shafts are optional.
