VIBRA® Drum Magnets

Automatic self-cleaning magnetic separators designed for continuous extraction of ferrous contamination from bulk materials. Ideal for high-volume processing lines with heavy iron loads.

Why Choose VIBRA® Drum Magnets?

Designed to protect your equipment and ensure product purity in demanding industrial environments

Continuous Self-Cleaning Operation

Unlike static grate magnets that require manual cleaning shutdowns, VIBRA® Drum Magnets operate continuously. The internal magnet assembly remains stationary while the outer stainless steel shell rotates, carrying captured iron out of the product flow and dropping it automatically into a waste chute, allowing for 24/7 uninterrupted production.

Handle High Iron Loads

These separators are engineered specifically for raw materials containing a high percentage of ferrous contamination. The rotating action prevents the magnetic surface from becoming overloaded or “blinded” by trash metal, ensuring consistent separation efficiency even in heavily contaminated recycling, mining, or aggregate streams.

Versatile Process Integration

Available in various housing configurations to suit your plant layout. Whether you need a dust-tight enclosed housing for sanitary food powders or a rugged open-frame design for aggregate recycling, we can customize the drum with Ceramic magnets for coarse tramp iron or High-Intensity Rare Earth for fine purification.

FAQs About VIBRA® Drum Magnets

What is a drum magnet used for?

Continuous separation of iron from bulk materials like grain or plastic.
It automatically removes ferrous metal from the product stream without stopping the process for cleaning.

How does the drum magnet work?

A stationary magnet inside holds iron while the shell rotates. The shell carries the iron out of the magnetic field, dropping it into a separate waste chute automatically.

Can it handle heavy contamination?

Yes, it is designed for high volumes of ferrous waste. The continuous rotation ensures the magnet face never gets clogged, making it ideal for recycling applications.

What materials can it process?

Dry free-flowing powders, granules, grains, and crushed ores.
It works best on bulk materials that can be fed evenly onto the drum surface via a vibratory feeder.

Do I need a specific motor?

It comes with a drive motor, usually variable speed.
We supply the complete assembly including the motor and gear reducer matched to your voltage requirements.

Is the shell wear-resistant?

Yes, usually made of durable stainless steel.
For highly abrasive materials like mining ores, we can add wear plates or rubber lagging to protect the shell.
