Conveyor Head Roller (also described
as Magnetic Pulleys)
Description: Magnetic
Head Rollers are positioned at the “head”
of belt conveyors to extract metal contamination from
the product on the belt. As the roller rotates, it holds
the tramp metal while clean product is discharged. Finally
as the belt leaves the roller, the magnetism dissipates,
and the unwanted contamination falls from under the
belt into a separate receptacle. This type of magnet
acts as secondary protection for deeply embedded metal
in the product, which may have not been initially extracted
by an overhead suspension magnet.
