STEINERT Overhead Suspension MagnetsSuspension magnets from STEINERT recover clean iron scrap for recycling, and protect grinders, mills and other processing equipment against wear and damage. STEINERT UM/AM can be used to remove unwanted tramp iron such as screws, nuts and rock bolt from coal, coke, ore and other minerals, even at extremely fast belt speeds ( 7.5 m/s), great working distances up to 1 m and high dumping heights. ApplicationsMining, bulk materials handling, port loading, scrap metal and waste recycling

TechnologySTEINERT Suspension Magnets are distinguished by extremely powerful and far-reaching magnetic fields. They are suspended above a conveyor belt and attract the magnetic parts, pulling them up and out of the material flow. For optimal performance, they should be mounted longitudinally above the outlet of the material discharge unit. STEINERT Suspension Magnets are often self-cleaning and equipped with a circular conveyor belt; the extracted iron is conveyed out of the magnetic field by carrier bars and then discharged. Pure suspension magnets (manual cleaners) are usually electromagnetic (STEINERT UME) and used for parts with lower iron content and for belts widths greater than 2 m. They only attract the iron. From time to time, a crane way moves the magnet sideways away from the belt conveyor and the magnet is switched off. The iron falls into the designated containers. Coal loaders up to 7000 t/h are typical for these types of magnetic separators. The exceptionally efficient STEINERT Boomerang magnet (see image above) adapts its magnetic field to the discharge parabola.
