Dear Kayem,

By our knowledge there is no special type of magnetic separator, in your case probably an overbeltmagnet or blockmagnet, to be used for positioning over a steel cord conveyorbelt. You will always have a magnetic field which will influence the steel cords inside the belt. Either when you use electro or permanent magnetic sollutions. In principal these cords will be lightly magnetic. Depending on the rubberlayer, distance to the magnet, etcetera around the steel cords inside the conveyor, these influances will not be of great difficulty when steel parts has to be withdrawn form the productflow. In practise positioning such a magnet over the steel cord belt will not be a problem.

However it is very important to keep in mind is that the rollers over which the belt is running can be of steel. There where the magnet is being positioned the rollers must be replaced by f.e. non-magnetic stainless steel rollers. This counts also for the part of the conveyor-frame construction. When building a new situation one can take this in consideration. When it is an exhisting situation of course this is more difficult.

I hope to have been of help to your question.

If you you have any further need of information you can always contact me ;

In our designs we always place the magnets on the conveyors feeding the steel cord conveyors as we would like to collect the tramp iron before it has a chance to destroy the steel cord belt. The damnage will most likely occur when the tramp iron gets caught in the feeding chute; if the magnet is on the steel cord belt after the chute then it's not going to do you any good. ■
