Wet, oily machining scrap requires a conveyor that can move material reliably while helping manage coolant carryover, drainage, and buildup. This article explains when to use a magnetic slide conveyor for ferrous scrap and when a steel hinge belt conveyor is the better choice for non-ferrous or mixed materials.
Learn why a magnetic conveyor may stop picking up parts, including material type, air gaps, surface buildup, part geometry, loading conditions, and internal wear. This guide explains the most common causes of poor pickup performance and what to check before assuming the conveyor has failed.
Magnetic conveyors and vibratory feeders solve different material handling problems. This article explains when to use each system, how they differ, and why many applications benefit from using both together for controlled feeding and reliable transport.
Magnetic conveyors can handle a wide range of ferrous part sizes, but the conveyor must be designed around the actual application. Usable conveyor width, part length, magnet spacing, and discharge head design all affect whether parts move smoothly or create jams, buildup, or inconsistent flow.
Magnetic conveyors are reliable, low-maintenance solutions for moving ferrous scrap, but they are not the right fit for every application. Learn when material type, long stringers, high-volume scrap flow, or inconsistent part geometry may make another conveyor style a better choice.
