A suspension magnet is a specialized magnetic separator designed to eliminate unwanted iron and steel particles from materials as they move along conveyors or chutes. It hangs above the material flow and works by attracting and capturing ferrous contaminants while the product passes underneath. This process helps safeguard downstream equipment like crushers, grinders, and mixers from potential damage. Suspension magnets are widely used in various industries, including mining, recycling, food processing, and cement manufacturing. They can be either permanent or electromagnetic, depending on the strength and level of control needed.
