Magnetic Products, Inc. recently designed, built and shipped a Magnetic Belt Feeder (MBF) to a major U.S. tire recycler.
After being shredded into "chips" during an earlier process, the tire remnants travel along the MBF conveyor. Contaminated chips stick to an integrated magnet pulley located beneath the conveyor belt. Ferrous-free chips drop into a designated hopper located at the end of the conveyor; contaminated pieces are transported to a separate bin via a chute directed under the MBF.
To meet the stringent requirements of the recycling industry, the MBF features high-strength magnets, ensuring that the most minute pieces of metal are discovered.
The MBF is constructed with welded steel plate and boasts a direct drive motor with VFD soft start and a maximum speed of 22 feet per minute (FPM). Two access doors on the machinery allow for quick and easy cleaning of the rotor.
