SEPARATION OF IRON METALS BY THE PERMANENT MAGNETIC
OVERBELT (R-OMP)
INTRODUCTION
Both iron and non-iron metals make up one of the groups of materials to have a greater presence in
waste reduction, since they involve a great worth. Iron metals are the highest percentage elements
and are the most easily captured by magnetic fields. Aware of the serious environmental problem,
REGULATOR-CETRISA has developed a complete line of separation equipment: the Permanent
Magnetic Overbelt (R-OMP) and the Electromagnetic Overbelt (R-SKM), in order to be able to
separate, recycle and recover iron metals.
PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE
The physical principle for the operation of the Permanent Magnetic Overbelt (R-OMP) is based on a
magnetic field generated by joining highly powerful magnets. This way, iron material that crosses the
magnetic field will be attracted towards the magnetic block and therefore separated from the rest of
the materials. The magnetic group does not involve any energy consumption.
The magnetic block forms the central part of a small conveyor belt. This belt has plugs or locks to
allow the continuous evacuation of any captured iron material. The tightening and centering of the
belt are done on the free drum.
The Overband is located on the conveyor where the processed material circulates. It can be placed
here in either transversal or longitudinal direction. In the transversal direction, the Overband can be
located at any point along the conveyor.
Transversal Overbelt Longitudinal Overbelt
When the location is longitudinal, the installation should be done on the head roller of the conveyor
to take advantage of the material’s parabolic path.
REGULATOR-CETRISA offers a wide range of equipment whose magnetic disposition and type of
magnets used are designed and optimized (3D design) to provide maximum magnetic power.
