Crossbelt Magnets
Crossbelt magnets, also known as overhead magnetic separators or belt magnets, offer a practical and efficient method for separating ferrous metal from fast-moving materials on conveyors.
- Overhead magnetic separators reclaim a higher percentage of valuable steel
- Easily interchangeable from one machine to another
- Designed specifically to suit your make and model of crusher
- Permanent Self-Cleaning Magnets are virtually maintenance-free
- Non-deteriorating belt magnet system
- Supplied with easy-to-follow operators manual
- Use our handy overhead separator criteria form to help us determine the size of your overhead separator

Why a Shields Crossbelt Magnet?
- Stronger magnetic fields than competitors by upwards of 15% (when comparing like sizes)
- Magnetic strength warranted for life (against loss of strength)
- Tri-Polar© Magnetic Circuitry – Standard on belt magnet series 12PCB, 14PCB & 16PCB (optional on all others)
- Prevents magnetic field peripheral leakage
- Lowers incidences of surrounding frames, structures and idlers from becoming magnetized
- Achieves better tramp metal extractions
- Overhead magnets assist in reducing conveyor belt damage
- Manganese impact plate on 12PCB, 14PCB & 16PCB belt magnets; stainless steel impact plates on all others
- Available with electric direct-drive or hydraulic motors to operate self-cleaning belt on magnet
- Belts on magnet systems, heavy-duty fitted with vulcanized Beefy T-Cleats that will not separate from belt or can be pried loose
- Armor-clad belts using HDPE with results equivalent to stainless steel, but without weight and cost
- Stainless steel guards (to protect belt and magnet block), fitted as standard on BOTH sides of magnet system
