- Highest magnetic power to weight ratio of any overband magnet
- No oil present
- Low profile, compact design
- Designed using the latest finite element analysis software
Overband magnets are suspended over conveyors to separate disruptive tramp ferrous metal, they are available as permanent and electromagnetic designs. Recent investment in manufacturing techniques and magnet technology have enabled us to offer the most comprehensive range of overband magnets with the highest levels of performance.
Supplying all industries, Bunting has the overband magnet to suit your application.
- Three distinct model types of permanent overband magnets
- Three deep field model types of electro overband magnets
- Compact and lightweight permanent and electro overband magnets
- Range of overband magnets available now from stock
Overband Magnets are designed to lift and automatically remove ferrous metal from conveyed material. The basic design features a permanent or electromagnetic unit mounted in a frame with two or four pulleys and a self-cleaning rubber belt.
Permanent Overband Magnet designs are commonly found on mobile equipment such as crushers, screens and shredders used in quarries and recycling operations.
Stronger Electro Overband Magnets are used on heavy duty applications as found in the Mining industry, in bulk handling terminals and also some recycling operations.
The Bunting designs have evolved over 40 years, with standard models accompanied by bespoke designs to suit specific applications.
Bunting offers:
- An extensive range of Permanent and Electro Overband Magnets to suit all applications and size requirements.
- Welding to ISO3834 accredited standards
- Accreditation to ISO9001 quality standards
- Custom design service
- Technical application engineers available to advise and assist
- Qualified service engineers and technical support
- Same day dispatch on a vast range of spare parts
Material is conveyed underneath an Overband Magnet which attracts, lifts and then removes disruptive tramp ferrous metal. The size and type of magnetic system (Permanent or Electro) is dictated by the conveyor width, depth of material on the conveyor and the nature of the tramp ferrous metal.
The Overband Magnets are mounted either across the conveyor belt (i.e. Crossbelt) or in line with the conveyor belt over the head pulley of the conveyor (i.e. Inline).
All our overbands have a vast range of options to suit your application and requirements.
Please call our experienced applications engineers to help specify the correct magnet and options for your individual application.


Overband Magnets are found in most material handling plants when operating with conveyors. The correctly sized and positioned Overband Magnet will remove disruptive tramp ferrous metal to prevent damages to other processing equipment such as crushers, screens, shredders, conveyors, etc. Typical installations include:
- Mobile crushers, screens and shredders
- MRF (Material Recovery Facility) and pre-sorted refuse plants
- Municipal solid waste plants
- Quarries
- Mining Operations
- Bulk handling terminals
- Wood waste processing plants
- Fragmentiser plants for shredded vehicles
- Cullet (crushed glass) recycling plants
- Industrial skip waste recycling operations
- Foundries
Bunting offers a site evaluation service to gain a deeper understanding of your complex and specialised applications, this enables us to recommend the most effective solution with you on site.
