Suspended Electromagnet Overhead Separators

IMI Suspended Electromagnet Overhead Separators are built for the removal of ferrous metal from over-the-belt conveyor applications. Our team is proud to offer both manual clean and Self Clean options for these units, allowing you to make the choice that is best for your operations.

Our Manual Clean SEMO is best for applications that have smaller amounts of ferrous metal in their product flow or where the system is running intermittently. These electromagnets pull ferrous metal out of your product flow, holding it to the face of the magnet. The captured tramp metal is held in place while the unit has power. To clean the unit, the power source is simply turned off, instantly releasing the metal from the magnet’s hold. These units can also be converted to a Self-Cleaning version with the purchase and installation of an upgraded package. Upgraded packages are excellent options when tramp metal collection exceeds expectations, or the magnet is in a difficult to access location.

The IMI Self-Cleaning Suspended Electromagnet is a top choice for those seeking maximum separation ability. These magnets pull ferrous particles from product flow and remove it from the magnet face, discharging it out of the product flow. This cleaning feature allows the circuit to support maximum magnetic strength at all times. As the product flows on your conveyor belt, it travels under the magnetic field where the ferrous material gets pulled from the product flow and up to the face of the magnet. Continuous cleaning of the magnet face is possible by a heavy-duty belt that encircles the magnet on a series of rotating pulleys. As ferrous metal is attracted and held by the magnet, the moving belt carries the collected metal outside of the magnetic field where it is then released beyond the product flow.
