Ferrous Metal Separators

Drum Magnets

Robust ferrous separation where material flows over or through a rotating magnetic drum.

Clean ferrous removal in confined plant layouts
Reliable operation with minimal operator input
Useful as a primary or secondary magnetic stage

Drum magnets provide controlled ferrous removal in compact transfer points, chutes, and processing lines where a conveyor-mounted separator is not the best fit.

They are useful for staged separation, product polishing, and sites that need a durable magnetic circuit with a simple, continuous discharge action.

Key features

  • Permanent magnetic drum designs
  • Top-fed or bottom-fed layouts
  • Continuous self-cleaning rotation
  • Compact integration into chutes or transfer points
  • Wear-conscious construction for abrasive materials

Typical applications

  • Recycling transfer points
  • Foundry sand and metal recovery
  • Glass and cullet processing
  • Aggregate and mineral handling
