A magnetic drum is a strong starting point for continuous ferrous recovery from controlled post-shred material. A suspended or overband magnet fits conveyor tramp-metal removal, while a magnetic head pulley fits separation at a belt discharge.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Should magnetic separation come before or after shredding?<\/summary><p>It can be used in both positions for different jobs. Before shredding, magnetic separation may remove exposed tramp iron and protect equipment. After shredding, newly liberated ferrous material can be recovered from the processed stream.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Can a magnetic separator recover aluminum, copper or brass?<\/summary><p>Not by ordinary ferromagnetic attraction. Magnetic drums, overband magnets and head pulleys primarily target sufficiently magnetically responsive ferrous material. Free aluminum, copper and brass normally require another downstream separation method.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Why does liberation matter in scrap recycling?<\/summary><p>A magnetic separator cannot create mechanical liberation. If iron or steel remains attached to plastic, rubber, aluminum or another material, the attached material may travel with the steel pieces. Shredding, crushing or sizing may need to expose the steel pieces first.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>How do you size a scrap metal magnetic separator?<\/summary><p>Corvelan evaluates scrap type, particle-size range, feed width, normal and peak throughput, burden depth, working distance, ferrous loading, abrasiveness, target fraction and installation envelope. Throughput alone is not enough.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>Does higher Gauss mean higher scrap recovery?<\/summary><p>No. Gauss is magnetic flux density at a defined measurement point. Scrap recovery also depends on working distance, field gradient, feed depth, liberation, particle behavior, drum speed and discharge geometry.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<details><summary>What should I send Corvelan for a quotation?<\/summary><p>Send the scrap type, feed photos, particle-size range, normal and peak throughput, feed width, burden depth, typical ferrous size and loading, line drawing, available space, discharge directions, environmental conditions and your separation objective.<\/p><\/details>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"soft\"><div class=\"wrap\">\r\n<h2>Related Corvelan Equipment<\/h2>\r\n<p>Use these equipment families as the next comparison step once the application condition is clear.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"grid-4\">\r\n<div class=\"related-item\"><a href=\"\/product\/magnetic-drum-separator\/\"><strong>Magnetic Drum Separator<\/strong><\/a><span>Post-shred continuous ferrous recovery.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"related-item\"><a href=\"\/product\/overband-magnetic-separator\/\"><strong>Suspended \/ Overband Magnet<\/strong><\/a><span>Conveyor protection and primary tramp-metal removal.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"related-item\"><a href=\"\/product\/magnetic-pulley-separator\/\"><strong>Magnetic Head Pulley<\/strong><\/a><span>Continuous ferrous separation at conveyor discharge.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"related-item\"><strong>Plate Magnet<\/strong><span>Selected gravity-flow and chute applications.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"cta-band\"><div class=\"wrap\">\r\n<h2>Send Your Scrap Material &amp; Line Drawing<\/h2>\r\n<p>Corvelan can review the material, application condition and installation interfaces before you lock the separator type.<\/p>\r\n<a class=\"btn\" href=\"\/contact-us\/\">Start Your Scrap Separation Review<\/a>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@type\":\"WebPage\",\r\n  \"name\":\"Scrap Metal Magnetic Separator for Recycling & Ferrous Recovery\",\r\n  \"description\":\"Coverlan application page for selecting magnetic separation equipment for scrap metal recycling by material condition, liberation, application condition, material flow and ferrous recovery target.\",\r\n  \"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Coverlan\"}\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\r\n  \"mainEntity\":[\r\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the best magnetic separator for scrap metal?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"There is no single best separator for every scrap line.
