Magnetic Head Pulley Separates Blue Metal From Recycled Decorative Stones
When it comes to efficient and cost-effective magnetic separation in recycling, MSA Magnetics continues to deliver innovative solutions. One recent challenge involved a customer needing to separate weakly magnetic blue metal from non-magnetic recycled decorative stone, a task that conventional magnetic systems struggled to handle.
The Challenge: Separating Blue Metal from Decorative Stone
The customer’s recycling station was already equipped with a conveyor system, and they needed a solution that could do the following:
- Reliably separate blue metal from non-magnetic stone
- Operate without slowing down the conveyor
- Fit seamlessly into their existing setup
- Be affordable and low-maintenance
Conventional ceramic ferrite magnetic pulleys were not up to the task. These systems lack the magnetic strength to hold and retain weakly magnetic materials like blue metal, especially at higher belt speeds.
The Solution: MSA Rare Earth Magnetic Head Pulley
MSA Magnetics recommended our Rare Earth Magnetic Head Pulley, which features high-intensity rare earth circuitry specifically designed for demanding separation tasks. Unlike standard ceramic options, our rare earth magnetic pulleys can:
- Hold, retain, and release blue metal effectively
- Maintain full conveyor speed without performance loss
- Fit into existing conveyor systems with minimal modification
This made the MSA Magnetic Head Pulley the perfect solution for separating blue metal from decorative stone in a high-throughput recycling environment.
