Mobile magnetic separators and screens are essential equipment in industries like mining, recycling, and material processing. They help separate ferrous materials from non-ferrous ones and classify materials by size. Here’s an overview:
1. Mobile Magnetic Separators
These are portable units used to extract ferrous metals from bulk materials, waste streams, or ore. Common types include:
– Overband (Suspended) Magnets – Installed over conveyor belts to remove tramp iron.
– Drum Magnets – Rotating drums with magnets that attract and separate ferrous particles.
– Pulley Magnets – Replace conveyor head pulleys to continuously remove metal contaminants.
– Magnetic Head Rollers – Used at the discharge end of conveyors for separation.
# Applications:
– Recycling (scrap metal recovery)
– Mining (iron ore beneficiation)
– Construction & demolition waste sorting
– Food processing (removing metal contaminants)

2. Mobile Screens
Mobile screening units classify materials by size, often working alongside crushers or magnetic separators. Types include:
– Vibrating Screens – High-frequency screens for fine or coarse separation.
– Trommel Screens – Rotating drums for sorting bulk materials like soil, compost, or aggregates.
– Scalping Screens – Remove oversized material before further processing.
# Applications:
– Aggregate production (sand, gravel)
– Waste recycling (sorting C&D debris)
– Mining (ore sizing)
– Soil remediation

Combined Systems (Magnetic Separators 26amp 3B Screens)
Some mobile plants integrate both functions:
1. Pre-Screening + Magnetic Separation – Remove large debris first, then extract metals.
2. Post-Crushing Separation – After crushing, screens classify material while magnets remove metal contaminants.
3. Fully Mobile Processing Plants – Self-contained units with feeding, screening, and magnetic separation.
# Key Benefits:
– Portability for on-site processing
– Reduced transport costs
– Improved material purity
– Compliance with recycling regulations
