One of the major advantages of a magnetic drum pulley is that it can perform the function of a conveyor head pulley while simultaneously providing magnetic separation.

This can reduce the need for an additional overhead magnetic separator in suitable applications.

However, the pulley must be evaluated as a complete mechanical and magnetic system.

Power Magnetronics considers:

Pulley diameter

Belt width

Belt speed

Conveyor load

Shaft arrangement

Bearing arrangement

Drive requirements

Magnetic field

Material discharge

Ferrous contamination
