Learn how to move irregular metal parts without jamming by matching the conveyor design to part size, shape, material type, and feed conditions. This article explains when magnetic slide conveyors work well, when steel hinge belt conveyors may be better, and how proper infeed control helps prevent bridging, buildup, and production interruptions.
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.
