Ferrous Metal Separators
Magnetic Head Pulleys
A compact ferrous separation stage built into the discharge end of a conveyor.
Save floor and headroom in crowded plants
Add ferrous recovery without a separate machine footprint
Improve final product cleanliness
Magnetic head pulleys replace the standard drive or tail pulley at a conveyor discharge point, holding ferrous metal against the belt while non-magnetic material follows a normal trajectory.
They are a practical way to add separation where floor space is tight or where a polishing stage is needed after an overband magnet.
Typical applications
- MRF line upgrades
- Scrap transfer conveyors
- Aggregate conveyors
- Secondary ferrous clean-up
