Haoxing Machinery's magnetic separator is used for removing ferrous metals from mixed material streams in crushing, shredding and sorting production lines. It can be configured as a magnetic drum separator or an overband magnetic separator according to the material flow and site layout.
The equipment is commonly installed after metal crushers, scrap steel shredders, aluminum recycling lines, waste wood shredding lines and other material handling systems. It separates iron, steel pieces, nails, screws and other magnetic impurities from non-magnetic materials such as aluminum, copper, plastic, rubber and wood.
In a complete recycling line, the magnetic separator can work with feeding conveyors, discharge conveyors, vibrating feeders, eddy current separators, dust collectors and electric control systems. Magnetic strength, belt width, installation position and discharge method can be customized according to material type, capacity requirement and sorting process.

The magnetic separator is used to remove ferrous metals from mixed material streams after crushing, shredding or conveying. It is usually installed above a belt conveyor or at the discharge end of a conveyor. When mixed materials pass through the magnetic separation area, iron and steel pieces are attracted by the magnetic field and separated from the main material flow, while non-magnetic materials continue to move forward.
The core part of the magnetic separator can be a magnetic drum or an overband magnetic system. During operation, crushed scrap metal, aluminum scrap, appliance shell fragments, paint bucket pieces, wood chips with nails and other mixed materials are evenly conveyed into the separation area. Ferrous materials such as iron pieces, steel fragments, nails, screws and other magnetic impurities are attracted to the belt or drum surface. As the belt or drum rotates, these ferrous materials are carried to a separate discharge position and released into the ferrous collection area.
Non-magnetic materials such as aluminum, copper, plastic, rubber, wood and other non-ferrous or non-metallic materials are not attracted by the magnetic field. They continue along the original conveying direction and are discharged separately. In a recycling line, the magnetic separator can work with a metal crusher, twin shaft shredder, belt conveyor, vibrating feeder, eddy current separator and dust collector for continuous material separation.
The separation effect depends on material size, feeding thickness, belt speed, magnetic strength, material moisture and the distance between the material and the magnetic system. For better separation, the material should be spread evenly on the conveyor before entering the magnetic separation area.
Ferrous metal removal: The magnetic separator is used to remove iron, steel pieces, nails, screws and other magnetic impurities from mixed material streams after crushing or shredding. It is commonly used in scrap metal recycling, aluminum recycling, appliance recycling and waste wood processing lines.
Continuous separation with conveyor systems: The equipment can work continuously with belt conveyors, crushers, shredders, vibrating feeders and discharge conveyors. It helps separate ferrous materials during material conveying and reduces the need for manual picking.
Magnetic drum or overband design: According to the production line layout, the magnetic separator can be configured as a magnetic drum separator or an overband magnetic separator. Different magnetic strength, belt width and installation methods can be selected according to material type and capacity requirement.
Suitable for different mixed materials: The separator can be used for crushed scrap steel, aluminum scrap, appliance shell fragments, paint bucket pieces, shredded waste wood, packaging waste and other mixed materials containing ferrous impurities.
Easy operation and maintenance: The machine has a compact structure and can be integrated into existing conveying lines. Routine maintenance mainly includes checking the belt, drum, bearings, reducer, motor and cleaning condition around the separation area.
Adjustable separation effect: The separation effect depends on material size, feeding thickness, belt speed, magnetic strength, material composition and installation distance. Proper feeding and even material spreading help improve separation stability.

Find common questions about scrap metal crushers, shredders, recycling lines, equipment selection, capacity configuration and operation requirements.
The selection depends on material type, particle size, iron content, conveyor width, belt speed, processing capacity, and installation layout. For recycling lines, the magnetic separator should match the shredder or crusher output, so the material can be separated smoothly and continuously.
Common options include belt magnetic separators, drum magnetic separators, suspended magnetic separators, and magnetic pulleys. The right type depends on material size, conveyor width, processing capacity, installation space, and required separation effect.
Yes. A magnetic separator can remove iron and other ferrous materials from aluminum scrap after shredding or crushing. For higher aluminum recovery purity, it can also be used together with an eddy current separator, screening machine, or air separation system.
A magnetic separator is used to separate ferrous metals from mixed materials after shredding or crushing. It is commonly installed after a metal shredder, scrap steel crusher, aluminum recycling line, or waste sorting line to improve material purity and support later recycling, baling, or melting.
