Magnetic Head Pulley

What is a Magnetic Head Pulley?
A simple option that can be added to remove ferrous from the material stream at the discharge end of a conveyor. As material is conveyed off the end of the conveyor, the magnetic head pulley attracts ferrous objects and holds them tight to the belt. Once the belt cleats pull the ferrous material back underneath the pulley and out of the main stream of material, the ferrous item falls off into a chute to be collected.
Special Features:

• Heavy-duty construction
• Replaceable aluminum shell
• Custom dimensions available to allow drop-in replacement of existing head pulley
• Can be added to inclined conveyors (infeed, transfer, etc.) or horizontal conveyors (sort conveyors, etc.)
