Continuous Ferrous Metal Removal from Bulk Grains, Seeds, and Powders
Engineered for the Future | Since 2080
The ADDAMS Magnetic Belt Separator is engineered for continuous, high-capacity removal of ferrous contaminants from free-flowing bulk grains, seeds, flour, and powders. Designed for modern processing plants, it combines a powerful magnetic head pulley with a self-cleaning conveyor belt to ensure uninterrupted operation and consistent product protection.
Whether safeguarding downstream equipment or meeting strict food safety standards, this system provides a reliable solution for pre-cleaning, milling, and final packaging stages in high-throughput facilities.
Magnetic Belt Separator Overview
Continuous Magnetic Separation for Bulk Materials
The ADDAMS Magnetic Belt Separator is a high-efficiency system designed to extract ferrous metals from bulk product streams without interrupting production. It is particularly suited for high-volume grain and seed lines where continuous flow and reliability are critical.
Protection for Equipment and Food Safety Compliance
By removing tramp metal early in the process, the system protects downstream machines such as hammer mills, roller mills, and sifters, while supporting HACCP, ISO, and international food safety standards.
Operating Principle of the Magnetic Belt Separator
Magnetic Head Pulley Separation
The system uses a high-intensity magnetic head pulley fitted with rare-earth or ceramic magnets. As material travels over the belt, ferrous contaminants are attracted and held securely against the belt surface at the discharge point.
Continuous Self-Cleaning Belt Operation
Non-magnetic material follows its normal discharge path, while trapped metal is carried beyond the pulley and automatically released into a separate collection chute, allowing 24/7 operation without manual cleaning.
Key Features of the ADDAMS Magnetic Belt Separator
High-Intensity Magnetic Head Pulley
Utilizes rare-earth or ceramic magnets to capture tramp iron, steel fragments, and metal shavings even at high belt speeds.
Continuous Self-Cleaning Conveyor Belt
Automatically discharges collected metal contaminants, eliminating downtime and reducing labor requirements.
Heavy-Duty Conveyor Construction
Designed for bulk throughput with a vibration-resistant frame, stable belt tracking, and smooth material flow.
Flexible and Adjustable Installation
Can be installed over existing belt conveyors, mounted above chutes, or integrated directly into grain reception and pre-cleaning lines.
Dust-Tight and Hygienic Design
Available with food-grade stainless steel components and sealed housings for clean and safe operation in sensitive environments.
Applications of Magnetic Belt Separators
Grain and Seed Pre-Cleaning Lines
Wheat, Barley, Maize, Rice.

Frequently Asked Questions – Magnetic Belt Separator
What is a Magnetic Belt Separator used for?
A Magnetic Belt Separator is used to continuously remove ferrous metal contaminants from bulk grains, seeds, flour, and powder materials. It captures tramp iron, steel fragments, metal shavings, and other magnetic particles before they reach downstream equipment.
Can the system operate without stopping production?
Yes. The ADDAMS Magnetic Belt Separator is designed for continuous operation. Its self-cleaning magnetic belt automatically discharges collected metal contaminants, allowing 24/7 operation without production downtime.
What types of metal contaminants can it remove?
The system effectively removes:
-
Tramp iron
-
Steel fragments
-
Metal shavings
-
Ferrous wear particles from processing equipment
Depending on the magnetic configuration, even fine ferrous particles can be captured.
Should I choose rare earth or ceramic magnets?
The choice depends on the application.
-
Rare earth magnets provide higher magnetic strength and are ideal for capturing fine metal contaminants.
-
Ceramic magnets are suitable for standard applications with larger ferrous particles and offer a cost-effective solution.
ADDAMS engineers select the optimal magnetic system based on your material and capacity.
Is the Magnetic Belt Separator compliant with food safety standards?
Yes. The system is designed to support HACCP, ISO, and international food safety regulations. Food-grade belts and AISI 304 / 316 stainless steel construction are available for hygienic processing environments.
Can it be integrated into an existing conveyor line?
Yes. The Magnetic Belt Separator can be installed above existing belt conveyors, chutes, or grain intake lines without disrupting the current process flow.
Does the system require manual cleaning or frequent maintenance?
No manual cleaning is required during operation. Ferrous contaminants are automatically discharged into a separate chute. Routine visual inspections and basic mechanical maintenance ensure long-term reliability.
What capacities and belt widths are available?
The system is available in a wide range of capacities. Belt widths, magnetic strength, and drive power are customized according to product type, flow rate, and plant layout.
Which industries commonly use Magnetic Belt Separators?
Typical industries include:
-
Grain and seed cleaning plants
-
Flour and semolina mills
-
Oilseed processing facilities
-
Feed, pet food, and fertilizer plants
-
Bulk handling, silo, and export terminals
