class=\"cl-lead\">Corvelan builds self-cleaning cross-belt electromagnetic separators to remove unwanted iron and steel from material moving on a conveyor. These unwanted pieces are often called ferrous tramp metal. We first check your conveyor width, material depth, belt speed and the metal you need to remove. We then check the real distance from the magnet face to that metal. This is the working distance. From there, we set the cleaning belt, mounting position, discharge side, cooling and electrical setup for your conveyor.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"cl-snapshot\">\r\n<div class=\"cl-snap\"><strong>Choose This Type When<\/strong><span>Iron or steel pieces appear often enough that automatic discharge is better than stopping the conveyor for manual cleaning.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cl-snap\"><strong>When Cross-Belt Fits<\/strong><span>The separator can sit across the conveyor and there is clear side space for the removed metal to fall.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cl-snap\"><strong>Also Compare<\/strong><span>A permanent overband, manual-clean suspended magnet or inline electromagnet may fit better when the working distance, amount of tramp metal or plant layout is different.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cl-snap\"><strong>What We Check<\/strong><span>Conveyor width, material depth, working distance, belt speed, the hardest metal piece to remove, discharge space, operating time and site power.<\/span><\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"cl-actions\"><a class=\"cl-btn cl-btn-primary\" data-cta=\"hero\" href=\"https:\/\/www.corvelanmag.com\/contact-us\/\">Send Your Conveyor Details<\/a><a class=\"cl-btn cl-btn-secondary\" href=\"#separator-choice\">See Which Separator Fits<\/a><\/div>\r\n<\/div><figure class=\"cl-media\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Self-cleaning cross-belt electromagnetic separator with automatic discharge belt\" height=\"600\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corvelanmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/coverlan-self-cleaning-cross-belt-electromagnetic-separator-hero.webp\" width=\"800\"><figcaption>Self-cleaning cross-belt electromagnet showing the magnet body, cleaning belt and drive-side structure.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/section>\r\n<section id=\"quick-fit\"><div class=\"cl-inner\"><p class=\"cl-eyebrow\">Quick Fit<\/p><h2>Is this the right separator type for your conveyor?<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"cl-lead\">Choose a self-cleaning cross-belt electromagnet when iron or steel pieces appear often, the conveyor should keep running, and there is room to discharge the removed metal to the side.

Sharp metal can damage the cleaning belt, so belt protection, discharge space and wear checks become more important.<\/p><\/article>\r\n<article class=\"cl-card\"><h3>Wood, Biomass &amp; Shredded Feed<\/h3><p>Use it for nails, bolts and broken machine parts when the material moves under the separator.

The moving cleaning belt carries that metal sideways. When it leaves the useful magnetic area, it drops into the collection area. This collection area is often called the reject area.<\/p>\r\n<p>For automatic discharge to work, four things must happen: attract the metal, lift it, carry it sideways and release it. A magnet that can attract the metal but cannot move and discharge it cleanly is not enough.<\/p>\r\n<p>The cleaning belt runs around pulleys and rollers and is moved by a drive. The belt must track straight, keep the right tension and have enough discharge space.
