Cross Belt & Overband Magnetic Separators

Self-Cleaning Suspended Plate Magnets

Tramp Metal Removal

The Cross Belt Separator is a suspended magnet with a continuously running belt that strips off captured tramp metal and discharges off the side or end of the conveyor. The permanent magnetic forces provide continuous and effective removal of unwanted tramp metal. Permanent magnet will retain tramp metal even during power outages and fluctuations.

Continuous Self Cleaning

Innovative Magnetic Technologies Inc. designed and manufactured Cross Belt Separators to provide industry with a reliable and extremely effective means of tramp metal extraction. The core of the Cross Belt Separator is IMT’s most powerful suspended plate magnet. The CBS is manufactured with a heavy duty frame, vulcanized rubber cleated belt and off the shelf components. The shaft mounted helical worm gear motor is available in various voltages for simple hook up installation.

  • Self Cleaning – self contained belt removes tramp from magnets surface
  • Easily retrofitted, Simple installation – permanent magnet requires no electricity
  • Constant power – permanent magnet requires no electricity
  • Low maintenance – avoid shutdowns and unplanned events

Cross Belt Separators are used in the magnetic separation of ferrous materials from products to ensure a safe, metal free output. These powerful magnets are usually installed above conveyor belts, and draw the unwanted metals upwards and away from the conveyor belt to allow for uncontaminated production.

Installation Configurations

Suspended Plate Magnets are useful across many industries for extracting ferrous contaminants from production lines. Suspended plate magnets offer exceptional efficiency since they require no energy consumption and as such, will not fail in the case of power fluctuations or shut off.   IMT’s powerful magnets are typically installed either directly above a conveyor belt line or suspended over the conveyor head pulley at the discharge point.

Discharge Point Advantage

  • The advantage of installing a suspended permanent magnet over the discharge point is that the all conveyed material changes from a static to a kinetic state, liberating the ferrous tramp material from the conveyed product thereby improving separation efficiency.

Direct Overhead Advantage

  • Advantage of installing a suspended permanent magnet over a conveyor belt is ease of accessibility, less structural requirements, and straight forward installation.

Quality at the Core

Quality control plays a critical role in all aspects and is a system set in place to help maintain standards in IMT’s manufacturing process.

Custom design, fabrication and assembly involves multiple processes; it is critical to have well-documented quality control procedures. IMT operates an in-house quality assurance program following materials and components from receipt of delivery through fabrication to final product ensuring the highest quality standards are met.
