Separation Rolls

Continuous, 24/7 Automatic Removal of Tramp Iron

MPI Magnetic Head Pulley Separation Roll maximizes product purity and protects your processing equipment with MPI’s Magnetic Head Pulley Separation Roll. Engineered for continuous, automatic separation of ferrous contaminants, this durable and efficient magnetic solution seamlessly integrates into belt conveyor systems. Ideal for bulk handling operations, MPI’s Separation Roll ensures 24/7 tramp iron removal—minimizing downtime, improving product quality, and preserving the integrity of downstream equipment.

     

Benefits of the Separation Rolls From Magnetic Products, Inc

Continuous 24/7 Separation

Automatically removes ferrous tramp iron from material flow without interrupting operations—ensuring constant protection and improved throughput.


Dual-Purpose Functionality

Serves as both a magnetic separator and head pulley, simplifying system design while maximizing conveyor efficiency.


Strong Magnetic Field

Utilizes high-intensity permanent magnets to capture both large and fine ferrous particles—even those embedded within product loads.


Maintenance-Free Operation

No external power supply or moving parts are required for magnetic operation, reducing maintenance costs and enhancing system reliability.

Rugged, Industrial-Grade Construction

Built to withstand demanding environments, the SR-series is constructed with durable materials to ensure long service life in heavy-duty applications.


Safe & Clean Product Flow

Effectively separates contaminants to maintain product purity and reduce risk of equipment wear, jams, or failure.


Custom Configurations Available

Available in a range of diameters and face widths to suit specific conveyor system requirements.


Eco-Friendly Performance

Operates without electricity for magnetic power, contributing to energy savings and sustainable facility design.

     

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.
