OVERBAND SEPARATOR
Crossbelt overband magnets are positioned across the main conveyor belt, offering efficient removal of ferrous contaminants without disrupting the material flow. A crossbelt setup is often easier to install and provides a convenient side discharge, ideal for operations requiring flexible layout options.

CROSSBELT OVERBAND MAGNETS
How it works
Installed above a conveyor, the Overband Magnet uses a high-intensity magnetic field to attract ferrous metals from the material flow below. A continuously moving belt transports the captured metals away from the magnetic field, allowing the cleaned product to continue along the conveyor. This non-contact separation ensures efficient removal of steel and iron without interrupting throughput.

The advantages:
CROSSBELT OVERBAND MAGNETS
Magnet Systems
We offer a wide range of permanent and electro magnet systems and will discuss which is best for your application.
Permanent Deep Field Ferrite
Robust with deep magnetic penetration.
Available in single or double pole designs.
Best for general recycling applications requiring consistent ferrous recovery
Permanent Rare Earth
Lightweight, compact, and extremely powerful.
Ideal for mobile plant or space – constrained installations.
Best for high-intensity separation in mobile or lightweight systems
Electromagnet
Offers adjustable magnetic strength and deeper working gaps (typically above 400mm/16″).
Can switch on /off magnetic field when required.
Best for heavy-duty applications needing on/off control or deep field separation
