Electro Suspension Magnet
Powered overhead magnet for stronger, adjustable tramp metal capture
The Electro Suspension Magnet is a fixed, plate-type electromagnet suspended over a conveyor or chute where a stronger or adjustable field is needed than a permanent suspension magnet can provide, but a fully self-cleaning overband is not justified. A powered coil generates a deep-reaching field that captures ferrous tramp metal on the underside of the housing, where it accumulates until cleared manually during scheduled maintenance. Field strength can be adjusted through the DC power supply to suit changing material or burden conditions, which is useful on lines that process varying products or occasional heavier tramp loads. It is commonly used as either a primary safeguard on moderate-duty lines or a stronger secondary check downstream of a drum separator.
- • Adjustable field strength via DC power supply
- • Stronger, deeper field than permanent suspension magnets
- • Simple retrofit above existing conveyors or chutes
- • Effective as primary or secondary protection
- • Custom plate width per application
- • Sealed housing resists dust and moisture
- • Suitable for variable material and load conditions
- • Rugged construction for industrial duty

Applications
Frequently asked questions
Why choose this over a permanent suspension magnet?
When you need adjustable or stronger field strength than a fixed permanent magnet can provide.
Why choose this over a self-cleaning overband?
When tramp metal loads are moderate enough that scheduled manual clean-out is practical and a simpler, lower-cost unit is preferred.
Can the field strength be changed after installation?
Yes, by adjusting the DC power supply to the coil.
Does power need to run continuously?
Yes, the field is only active while the coil is energised.
