MTB - Model SMB -Ballistic Magnetic Separator

The SMB is above all a separator intended to remove scrap iron from fine fractions. The high belt speed allows a single layer with a high throughput of fines to be processed (up to 50 T/h for an SMB 2000). A triple separation is obtained by combining this speed with the strong magnetic force of the inductor. The «heavy» and inert particles (non-ferrous metals, glass, pebbles, etc.) are projected further from the conveyor while the ferrous component is recovered at the rear of the separator whereas the «light components and damp and sticky particles will be recovered on the front part of the separator.

Everyone knows the difficulty of isolating clean ferromagnetic fractions in a flow of fines. It is possible with SMB!

The second advantage of using SMB is the separation of «heavy» fractions in which the non-ferrous metals are concentrated. Thus, the extraction of non-ferrous metals will be easier and the quantity of product to process will be reduced to a minimum thus dropping the processing costs. Its ability to process clinker fines but also fines of Automobile Shredding Residue and of E-scraps are particularly appreciated.

SMB is available in 1000, 1500 and 2000 mm belt widths.

It consists of an endless belt conveyor and a magnetic pulley mounted at the head. It is primarily for de-ironing fine fractions. The high speed of the belt allows large quantities of fines to be processed in a single layer (up to 50 T/hr in the case of the SMB 2000). The combination of speed and the winder’s high magnetic strength results in triple separation. The ‘mass’ inert particles (non-ferrous, glass, stone, etc.) are thrown as far away as possible from the conveyor, while the ferrous particles are recovered at the rear of the separator, while the ‘light’ particles, as well as wet and sticky ones, are recovered on the front part of the separator.
