Electromagnetic separator STE
The STE type electromagnetic separator is designed for automatic separation of ferrous metals from bulk materials transported on belt conveyors or vibrating feeders. The Electro Magnetic Separator protects mills, crushers and other process machines against damage caused by iron parts such as screws, pipe pieces, bearings or crusher teeth. The STE separator is also used to recover valuable ferrous scrap in waste recycling processes.
The STE overband separator is reliable, very robust and designed for continuous operation. The separator is characterized by high metal separation efficiency. The electromagnet used in the separator has a high-quality winding made of aluminum tape with the highest class of insulation. This makes it resistant to high temperatures, very durable and efficient.

Working principle of the electromagnetic separator
The electromagnetic separator is usually suspended on a special support structure above the conveyor belt transporting the material. There are two ways to suspend the electromagnetic separator - transversely to the direction of the transported material or longitudinally above the conveyor drive drum. After connecting the power supply to the separator control cabinet, a direct voltage of 110 or 220 VDC is supplied to the electromagnet terminals. The flow of direct current in the winding excites the electromagnet and creates a strong magnetic field that captures metals from the transported material. The captured metals are conveyed by the extractor belt to a discharge chute and then to a scrap container.

Why choose our electromagnetic separators?
The electromagnetic separators produced are available in several variants, adapted to the operating conditions and intended use. Our solutions are delivered to users around the world, where they are used in such extreme working conditions as mines, rock grinding plants, cement plants and installations for recycling various types of waste.
To build separators, we use the highest quality materials and components from our European suppliers, which ensures continuity of supply chains and quick order completion times. The electromagnets used in the separators have a winding made of anodized aluminum tape with additional insulation, thanks to which our solutions have the highest insulation class C up to 300°C. This ensures high thermal resistance and long service life of our solutions.
The power supply and control cabinet, adapted to cooperate with the superior control system, is responsible for power supply and control of the separator's operation.
Our technical advisors provide professional advice at the stage of selecting the type of separator, the necessary additional equipment, and participate in the design of the installation of our devices in industrial installations.
