PLP Model

US Patent: US7564333 B2

The SGM PLP (Pulley Magnet Separator) is a powerful and versatile magnetic separator designed to extract raw iron and fine ferrous particles from materials transported on a conveyor belt.
Unlike overhead suspension magnets that attract ferrous material from a distance, the PLP head pulley operates in direct contact with the conveyor belt, ensuring consistent and efficient ferrous removal. This 360-degree magnetic coverage enables optimal separation, with non-magnetic material following its natural ballistic trajectory while ferrous particles are securely held and discharged into a dedicated collection area.

Why Choose the SGM PLP?

Superior iron recovery from a wide range of waste and scrap materials
Uniform magnetic field across the entire pulley surface for consistent performance
Versatile configurations with different diameters and widths to suit various applications
Robust and wear-resistant design for long-term durability
Easy installation for seamless integration into existing systems

How It Works:

Positioned at the head of the conveyor belt, the PLP magnetic pulley attracts ferrous materials, retaining them on its surface until they are released into a dedicated collection hopper. Meanwhile, non-ferrous materials follow their natural trajectory and are discarded into a separate container.
This system is highly adaptable, as the PLP pulley can be integrated into various machinery to enhance ferrous separation efficiency. Thanks to its sturdy construction and high-strength magnetic field, it ensures consistent performance even in demanding environments.

Custom Magnetic Circuit Designs

SGM Magnetics offers three specialized magnetic circuits, each optimized for different depth loads:

High Gradient (HG)

Made with ferrite permanent magnet blocks
Ideal for materials with a load depth of up to 150 mm (6 inches)

Very High Gradient (VHG)

Patented combination of neodymium and ferrite permanent magnets
Provides strong magnetic attraction
Suitable for load depths up to 80 mm (3 inches)

Ultra High Gradient (UHG)

Constructed with pure neodymium permanent magnets
Supports load depths up to 40 mm (1.5 inches)
Delivers exceptional separation strength for fine ferrous particles

Each model ensures 360-degree adhesion across the pulley’s outer surface, maximizing efficiency in ferrous extraction. The right choice of pulley model depends on factors such as:
