Overband magnets at a glance
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Types | Overband (self-cleaning belt) and suspended plate (hand-cleaned) |
| Fits | Above conveyor belts, in-line or across the head pulley |
| Sizing | Belt width, speed, burden depth and hanging height |
| Field / reach | Contact for spec — calculated for your hanging height |
| Power | Overband needs a belt motor; plate types need none |
| Applications | Recycling, aggregates, quarry, wood, bulk handling |
Dimensions and field strength: contact for spec. Each unit is calculated for your conveyor, so we do not publish a fixed size table.
Standard sizes are from our catalogue. Final size, field strength and stainless grade are confirmed in writing at quotation. Anything marked "contact for spec" depends on your application.
Some photos show the product type; size, field and drive are confirmed per application. See photo credits and videos.

Overband magnets: common questions
Overband or suspended plate?
Overband types have a running belt that carries iron away continuously, so they suit heavier, constant loads. Plate types are cheaper and cleaned by hand, so they suit lighter loads.
What do you need to quote?
Belt width, belt speed, burden depth, the gap from magnet to burden, the material and the size of iron to remove. A photo of the conveyor helps.
How strong is it?
Reach matters more than surface gauss. We size the magnet for your hanging height and burden; ask for the specification.
Can I see it working?
Yes. Our separators page has a strength test video of a suspension magnet.
Do you supply the frame and chains?
Mounting is discussed at quotation. Tell us your structure and space.
Is a magnetic pulley better?
A head pulley magnet suits shallow burdens and ferrous splitting; an overband suits deeper burdens. See magnetic pulleys.
