VIBRA® Pulley Magnet

The simplest and most effective continuous magnetic separator. Replaces standard conveyor head pulleys to automatically discharge tramp iron from bulk material flows like aggregates and recycling.

Why Choose VIBRA® Pulley Magnet?

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

Continuous Self-Cleaning Operation

VIBRA® Pulley Magnets transform your conveyor belt into a self-cleaning magnetic separator. Unlike suspended magnets that may need manual cleaning, the pulley automatically holds ferrous metal to the belt face until it rotates out of the magnetic field, discharging it safely beneath the conveyor, ensuring 24/7 uninterrupted processing.

Maximum Equipment Protection

Installed as the head pulley, it acts as the last line of defense for crushers, grinders, and shredders. By effectively removing damaging tramp iron (digging teeth, bolts, scrap) from the material stream before it leaves the conveyor, it prevents catastrophic machinery damage and costly unplanned downtime in mining and recycling operations.

Seamless Retrofit Installation

Designed to match standard conveyor dimensions, our magnetic pulleys are an easy direct replacement for your existing non-magnetic head pulleys. With no electrical power required and shafts machined to your existing bearing specifications, installation is straightforward, providing an instant upgrade to your plant’s separation capabilities.

FAQs About VIBRA® Pulley Magnet

What is a magnetic pulley used for?

Continuous separation of tramp iron at the conveyor discharge. It removes hazardous metal from bulk materials like coal, stone, or recycling waste to protect downstream crushers.

How does the pulley work?

It holds iron to the belt, dropping it underneath.
Clean product falls naturally, while the magnet holds the iron until the belt pulls it away from the field.

Does it require electricity?

No, it uses permanent magnets and requires no power.
It provides continuous magnetic protection without energy costs, cables, or maintenance associated with electromagnets.

Can it replace my existing pulley?

Yes, we machine the shafts to match your current bearings. Simply provide your diameter, face width, and shaft dimensions, and we will manufacture a drop-in replacement.

Which magnet strength do I need?

Ceramic for large tramp iron; Rare Earth for fine contamination. Use Ceramic for mining protection; use Rare Earth for food safety or removing fine wire in recycling.

Do I need rubber lagging?

Yes, if you need extra belt traction and belt wear protection.
