A self-cleaning version uses a moving belt to carry the captured metal out of the magnetic area for automatic discharge.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Permanent overband magnet or electromagnetic overband magnet \u2014 which should I choose?<\/summary><p>Choose a permanent overband magnet when it can reach the iron in your material and you want a magnetic field that does not need electrical power. An electromagnetic overband may be better when your application needs more magnetic reach or different operating control. Send us your working distance, material depth, belt speed and target iron, and we can compare the two options for your conveyor.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What is the difference between an overband magnetic separator and a manual suspended magnet?<\/summary><p>A manual suspended permanent magnet holds captured iron on the magnet face and needs planned cleaning by hand. A self-cleaning overband adds a moving belt that carries the captured metal to a discharge point. Manual cleaning can work when iron appears only occasionally; repeated iron normally makes automatic discharge more practical.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What is the difference between crossbelt and inline installation?<\/summary><p>A crossbelt separator is mounted across the main conveyor and usually discharges captured metal to the side. An inline separator is mounted in the same direction as the conveyor, often near the head pulley at the discharge end. We choose between them from magnetic reach, available space, support position and the metal discharge path.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How do I size an overband magnetic separator for my conveyor?<\/summary><p>Do not size it from conveyor width alone. Send us belt width and speed, normal and maximum material depth, the distance from the magnet to the deepest iron, representative iron size, material condition, nearby steel and available discharge space. We use these details to recommend the magnetic and mechanical setup.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How high should an overband separator be installed?<\/summary><p>There is no single installation height that works for every conveyor. We check the distance from the magnet face to the iron you need to remove, including the air gap and the iron position inside the material. This distance is called the working distance and is one of the main points used to select the magnet.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Does a higher Gauss value guarantee better tramp-iron removal?<\/summary><p>No. Gauss is a magnetic-field reading at a specific point; engineers call this magnetic flux density. It is not the same as pull force or separation efficiency at the real iron position. Working distance, material depth, belt speed and iron size or shape also matter.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Can an overband magnetic separator help protect a crusher?<\/summary><p>Yes, when unwanted iron or steel in the conveyor feed could damage the crusher and the separator is correctly selected and installed. We still need to check material depth, working distance, belt speed, iron size and conveyor layout.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Can this separator remove aluminium or copper?<\/summary><p>A conventional permanent overband magnet is mainly for iron and steel that a magnet can attract. Aluminium and copper normally need a different separation method, such as eddy-current separation.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What should I send Corvelan for selection and quotation?<\/summary><p>Start with the material, the iron or steel you need to remove, material flow or throughput, and the installation condition.
