Suspended Overhead Magnets

Whether you’re looking to protect downstream equipment from tramp iron contamination or separating ferrous recyclables from other product, Dings overhead magnetic separators can handle the job. Dings Overhead Magnetic Separators are suspended over a conveyor line to remove ferrous metal from the product stream. Electro and permanent magnet styles are available to meet the needs of any application.


Stationary Overhead Magnets
If tramp metal is an occasional problem, then a stationary magnet is the right choice. Just suspend it over the conveyor or over the head pulley. When the magnet surface starts to fill up, swing the magnet away from the conveyor and cut the power (electromagnet) or use the convenient wiper arm (permanent magnet) to release the attracted metal. Swing the magnet over the conveyor and you’re back in business

Self-Cleaning Overhead Magnets
If you need to separate large quantities of ferrous metal, Dings self-cleaning magnets will do the job. Available in both electro and permanent magnet styles, these powerful separators come equipped with a tough, vulcanized rubber belt with 1" cleats to continuously remove metal from the product stream (3" cleats are available for material recycling facilities. The magnet may be suspended either crossbelt (perpendicular to the product flow) or inline (parallel above the product flow.

For demanding applications such as concrete recycling or construction and demolition waste processing, Dings has designed a Severe-Duty Self-Cleaning Magnet. With a stainless steel cleated belt and heavy-duty drive package, this magnet is built to withstand the toughest conditions.

Eddy Current Separators
Pulley Eddy Current Separator

2 Pulley Eddy Current Separator

Eddy current separators are commonly used to separate non-ferrous materials from mixed waste and other product streams. When a magnetic rotor is turned at high rates of speed, powerful forces called eddy currents are created.

Large Drum Magnets for Scrap and Recycling
For separating high volumes of steel or for especially demanding applications, a powerful Dings drum magnet may be the answer. These rugged separators are built to last with heavy-duty manganese wear shells to protect against damage from large or sharp objects.Depending on your application, you may choose from several styles of Dings drum separators:

Large permanent magnet

Permanent (Ceramic) Magnet

These separators offer the highest level of magnetic strength and are appropriate for many different applications, including scrap processing, auto shredding, mining, aggregate, or anywhere large volumes of metal need to be removed. Both lateral and radial pole designs are offered. Our sales engineers will be able to help you determine which style is best for your application.

Permanent magnet illustration

Material can be fed to a Dings permanent magnet deep draw drum in any of the three ways illustrated above.
The stationary magnet can be adjusted to any of these positions to best accomodate the demands of your particular application.

Electro scrap drum
This separator was specifically engineered for the scrap processing market. Whether you’re processing white goods or other types of scrap, this drum’s triple pole design will tumble the attracted steel, cleaning it as it travels across the drum surface. The result is purer steel with a higher resale value.
Small Drum Magnets for Processing

Dings drums are all-purpose separators — purifying everything from free-flowing powders to crumb rubber to minerals. All Dings drums are available in a variety of magnetic circuits. Let us determine the best for your application.

FC DrumDings PC and FC drum separators are designed for applications with lower volumes of ferrous metal contaminants, such as foundries, powder or grain processing, crumb rubber and plastics or other recycling. Dings PC model is furnished as a drum only (without motor and housing) and mounts easily with pillow block bearing and shaft clamp. This permanent magnet design is available in ceramic, rare earth and high strength rare earth styles.
Small drum separatorIn our FC model, the PC drum is furnished with a motor, feed leveler, splitter and housing. Multiple drum arrangements are also available..
FC drum feed illustration
The concept of drum separation is very simple - material is fed to a rotating shell revolving around a stationary magnet. Ferrous metal remains on the shell surface until it passes from the magnetic field - separating it from the normal trajectory of the nonferrous material.

FC drum installation illustrationA Dings drum separator may be installed in many different places in your process. Our sales engineers will be happy to work with you to determine the best location and style to suit your application.

Magnetic Head Pulleys
Dings magnetic head pulleys are some of the simplest, yet most effective, magnetic separators. Just mount it in place of a standard head pulley and it easily and efficiently separates ferrous metal from the product stream.
Magnetic head pulley

Dings DFC head pulleys are built using our exclusive flux control magnetic circuit. This design ensures continuous magnetism around the entire circumference of the pulley — no dead spots. For less critical applications, a conventional magnetic circuit design is also offered.

Illustration of DFC pulley designs

Dings magnetic head pulleys are designed to provide years of trouble-free service:

  • Permanent magnet means no energy consumption
  • Uniform magnetic field
  • Large selection of widths and diameters available
  • Crowned face for belt tracking
  • Weatherproof stainless steel face
  • Shipped ready to install
  • Optional lagging available
Magnets for Pneumatic Conveying
If you convey your materials pneumatically, you know the unique challenges it presents — pressure drops, flow blockage, leaks, etc. Dings offers two distinct styles of magnetic separators especially designed to remove tramp metal from pneumatic systems without interfering with the process:
Pneumatic conveying magnet
Pneumatic In-line Magnet
If you're looking to capture larger pieces of tramp such as screws, buts, etc. - choose a pneumatic in-line magnet. This separator installs directly into the pneumatic line to capture ferrous contaminants in the product stream without inhibiting product flow. The separator may be installed in horizontal or vertical pneumatic lines. Models are available for 2", 3", 4", 5" and 6" lines.
Cartridge
If contamination from fine ferrous particles is your problem, choose a Dings cartridge magnet. This unique design is engineered to capture and retain even the finest particles. The bullet shaped magnetic cartridge provides maximum magnetic surface area. Attracted metal is safely retained behind the flanges until it is removed.
Cartridge magnet
Grate Magnets
Grate magnets remove small particles of ferrous metal from free-flowing powders and granular materials. Standard construction features 1" round tubes filled with either high grade ceramic or rare earth magnets. These tubes can be supplied either unhoused or housed in a variety of configurations to meet the needs of your application. Our standard products are listed below: Standard Grate Magnet

Plate Magnets

If you’re engaged in bulk processing — food, grain, chemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, minerals, etc. — protect your valuable equipment and your customers from tramp metal contamination with a Dings Ferroplate plate magnet. The high surface strength of magnetic plates makes them ideally suited for sloping chute applications. Dings Ferroplate magnets are available as a plate to be installed in an existing process or preinstalled in a variety of Ferroplate equipped products.

Plate magnet

Illustration of a ferroplate magnet

Dings unique design features raised pole pieces to provide better protection. Since the strongest magnetic field on any plate magnet is between the two poles, most of the tramp metal will accumulate in the gap between the poles. The Ferroplate’s raised magnetic pole pieces create a recess in this area which holds the attracted metal more securely than designs which have a narrow raised strip between the poles.

Dings Ferroplate magnets are offered in five different styles with varying magnetic strengths to work in a variety of applications:

Dings Ferroplate Equipped Products

For applications where the installation is not in a rectangular, sloping chute, choose from this line of magnet equipped products:

Perma Chute

Perma Chute magnets are designed for applications where space is limited, materials can’t pass freely through a grate magnet, or when the chute is too vertical for a plate magnet to work effectively. A Quick Clean model is also available with a built-in drawer for disposing of the separated metal.

Permachute Magnet
Magnetic hump
