Magnetic Separator
- Description
- Feature
- Applications
Magnetic separator is the ideal auxiliary equipment that works with bowl vibratory finishing machine.
Magnetic separator designed for collecting ferrous parts that easy to be separated magnetically, especially for small size lightweight parts. The electric controlling of the magnetic separator allows continuous separation.
Typically, all iron parts require de-magnetization. Therefore, inovatec separator equipped with the basic de-magnetization zone at the backside of the belt.

Magnetic Separator — continuous separation of ferrous parts from finishing media in mass finishing operations
The magnetic separator is the correct separation tool when the parts being finished are ferrous — steel stampings, iron castings, small fasteners, spring clips and similar magnetic materials — and the media is non-ferrous (ceramic, plastic, corn cob). A standard vibratory separator uses size difference to separate parts from media; a magnetic separator uses magnetic attraction instead, which makes it effective for parts that are the same size as the media, too small to sieve reliably, or too lightweight to travel correctly across a sieve screen.
The Inovatec magnetic separator uses an electric roller conveyor with continuous belt motion. The mixed load passes under the magnetic roller; ferrous parts are attracted and held to the belt; non-magnetic media falls clear. As the belt passes the magnetic field boundary, parts release and drop into the parts collection area. A de-magnetisation device on the back side of the belt removes residual magnetism from the parts before they discharge — a necessary step for most downstream processes.
- Electric roller magnetic separation — continuous, reliable collection of ferrous parts

- Built-in de-magnetisation zone — removes residual magnetism before parts discharge
- Variable belt speed control — adjust to part size and throughput requirement
- 2-axis adjustment — position the separator to suit your machine discharge point
- Magnetic power control — adjust field strength to match part weight

How the magnetic separator works
The mixed discharge from the finishing machine (ferrous parts + non-magnetic media) is fed onto the magnetic separator conveyor belt. The magnetic roller attracts and holds ferrous parts while non-magnetic media passes freely through. Parts discharge into a collection bin after passing the magnetic field boundary; the de-magnetisation zone on the back of the belt removes residual magnetism as parts release.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Feed | Mixed parts and media discharged from finishing machine onto the conveyor |
| 2. Attract | Magnetic roller attracts and holds ferrous parts to the belt; non-magnetic media falls clear |
| 3. Release | Parts pass magnetic field boundary, release from belt and drop into parts collection bin |
| 4. De-magnetise | De-magnetisation zone on the belt back side removes residual magnetism as parts discharge |
Who the magnetic separator is built for
Operations finishing small ferrous parts with non-magnetic media — the magnetic separator is the correct tool when parts are steel, iron or other magnetic materials and media is ceramic, plastic or corn cob. It handles the separation cases that defeat a vibratory sieve: parts too small to be reliably retained by the sieve, parts the same size as the media, or lightweight parts that don’t travel correctly on a vibrating screen.
Facilities finishing parts with steel shot or steel pin media alongside ferrous parts — when both parts and media are ferrous, a magnetic separator does not distinguish between them and a vibratory separator by size is needed instead. Contact us to discuss the correct separator for your specific media and part combination.
Any line where downstream processes require de-magnetised parts — residual magnetism on ferrous parts causes problems in painting, plating, inspection with magnetic gauges, and assembly. The built-in de-magnetisation device on the MS separator removes this issue at the point of separation without adding a separate de-magnetising step.
Magnetic separator vs vibratory separator — which do you need?
| Magnetic Separator | Vibratory Separator | |
|---|---|---|

| Part material | Ferrous (steel, iron) | Any material |
| Parts same size as media | ✓ Works | Difficult / unreliable |
| Small / lightweight parts | ✓ Ideal | Can be unreliable |
| De-magnetisation | ✓ Built-in | Not applicable |
| Non-ferrous parts | Not applicable | ✓ Use vibratory separator |
