INLINE VS CROSS-BELT CONFIGURATION
Inline Overband Magnetic Separator
The separator is installed longitudinally above the conveyor, generally near the head pulley.
As material leaves the conveyor, it becomes more dispersed, which can facilitate ferrous-metal extraction.
Cross-Belt Magnetic Separator
The magnetic separator is positioned across the conveyor.
The separator belt carries the captured ferrous material sideways and discharges it away from the main material stream.
Which configuration is better?
There is no universal answer.
The selection depends on:
Conveyor width
Conveyor speed
Material capacity
Material burden depth
Ferrous particle size
Material characteristics
Installation height
Required separation
Available installation space
Power Magnetronics can recommend the appropriate configuration based on the actual operating conditions.
