The major purpose of an Overband Magnetic Separator is not simply to "pick up iron." It serves two important industrial functions:
PRODUCT PURIFICATION
Removes unwanted ferrous contamination from the processed material.
EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
Removes tramp iron before it reaches sensitive downstream equipment such as:
Crushers
Pulverizers
Screens
Shredders
Mills
Conveyors
Grinders
Processing equipment
This is particularly important in mining, recycling, coal and crushing applications where large metallic objects can cause equipment damage and production interruptions. �
