Separation Rolls Product Details
How It Works
The MPI Separation Roll is strategically installed as the head pulley in a conveyor system. As material travels along the belt, it enters the magnetic field generated by the pulley. Ferrous tramp metals—such as nails, bolts, wire, and scrap—are immediately attracted and held tightly to the conveyor belt surface. While the clean, contaminant-free product is discharged from the top of the pulley at the end of the conveyor, the tramp iron remains attached to the belt as it wraps around the pulley. Upon reaching the underside of the roll, the tramp metal moves out of the magnetic field and falls freely into a designated chute or collection bin. This process runs continuously and automatically, with no need for operator intervention, ensuring a safer, cleaner material stream and reduced wear on equipment.

Magnet Circuits:
Axial (A)
This magnet circuit provides alternating north and south magnetic poles around the roll diameter, providing optimum magnetic field “reach-out” and a consistent magnetic pole across the roll width. This magnet design is ideal for capturing medium to larger types of tramp metal in moderate to deep product flows on the conveyer belt.
