URSTAG overband magnetic separator — extracting ferrous metals off the conveyor belt
Back to catalog

Overband Magnetic Separator

It mounts above the belt and works on its own: it attracts iron out of the flow, and the ribs on its own belt discharge it sideways, continuously and without stopping.

Sustainability impact

Equipment engineered for long-lasting operation and built from recyclable materials, in line with the principles of the circular economy.

Key features

It works with no operator

a self-cleaning overband magnetic separator attracts the iron and discharges it sideways by itself, so it needs no intervention while running.

It protects the machines downstream

every piece of iron pulled from the flow is one that no longer reaches the shredder knives or the granulator rotor.

It recovers sellable material

cleanly separated iron is a fraction with a stable market, so the separator brings income, not just protection.

Product description

An overband magnetic separator is probably the best cost-to-benefit ratio in the entire sorting line. It mounts above an existing conveyor, needs no floor space of its own, works with no operator, and does two things at once: it recovers a sellable material and it protects the machines downstream from…

Municipal waste

Municipal waste sorting plants, from the bag to recoverable material

Household waste arrives mixed and bagged. A sorting plant opens it, screens it into size fractions, separates the light material from the heavy one and extracts metals, plastic, paper and glass. We configure complete lines and also supply the individual machines, from the bag opener and trommel screen through to the magnetic and eddy current separators, the optical sorters and the balers.
