METAL SEPARATION AND DETECTION MACHINERY

Used Magnetic Separators and Industrial Metal Detectors

Are you looking for a used magnetic separator, industrial metal detector or metal separation system for your production line? Gester Machinery offers a selection of used industrial equipment for metal separation, magnetic separation and metal detection in recycling, plastics, bulk handling, manufacturing and processing applications.

Magnetic separators and industrial metal detectors are used to identify, remove or retain unwanted metal contamination from material flows. These systems help protect downstream machinery, improve product quality and reduce the risk of damage to grinders, shredders, conveyors, extruders, mixers and packaging lines.

Our available stock may include plate magnets, grate magnets, magnetic bars, magnetic separation units, industrial magnets, metal detector conveyors and other used metal separation equipment. Availability changes regularly, so please contact us for the latest prices, technical information and shipping options.

Magnetic Separation Equipment for Industrial Applications

A magnetic separator is designed to remove ferrous metal particles from a material stream using magnetic force. These machines are commonly used in recycling plants, plastic processing facilities, bulk material handling systems and industrial production lines.

Depending on the model, magnetic separators can be installed near conveyors, inside chutes, below hoppers or directly into a processing line. They are often used to separate tramp metal, protect expensive machinery and reduce contamination in raw materials or finished products.

The position of the separation system depends on the material and the configuration of the recycling line. Metal separation equipment may be installed before industrial shredders to prevent large metal objects from damaging the cutting system, or after shredding to remove metal contaminants exposed during the size-reduction process.

Typical applications include:

• plastics recycling;
• granules, powders and bulk solids;
• protection of grinders, shredders and extruders;
• ferrous metal separation;
• material handling and sorting;
• quality control before packaging;
• recycling plants and production lines;
• processing of industrial waste materials.

Used Industrial Metal Detectors

Industrial metal detectors are used to detect metal contamination in products or material flows. They can be integrated into conveyor lines, packaging lines, recycling systems or production processes where metal detection is required.

A used metal detector can be a cost-effective solution for companies that need to improve quality control, protect machinery or detect foreign metal objects before the next stage of production.

Before buying a used industrial metal detector, it is important to check the aperture size, conveyor width, detection sensitivity, power requirements, machine condition and compatibility with your existing production line.

Plate Magnets, Grate Magnets and Magnetic Bars

Our used equipment stock may also include plate magnets, grate magnets and magnetic bars. These are simple and robust magnetic separation solutions used to capture ferrous particles from powders, granules, recycled materials or bulk products.

These systems are especially useful in plastics, recycling, food processing, chemical production, woodworking and general manufacturing. They can help prevent metal fragments from reaching sensitive machinery and reduce the risk of contamination in the final product.

Why Buy a Used Magnetic Separator?

Buying a used magnetic separator or used industrial metal detector can help reduce investment costs while still giving your business access to professional industrial equipment.

Main advantages include:

• lower investment compared with new equipment;
• fast availability depending on stock;
• suitable for recycling, plastics and manufacturing;
• useful for machinery protection;
• improved product quality and contamination control;
• possibility to integrate into existing production lines;
• wide range of equipment types, including magnets, separators and detectors.

Used Metal Separation Equipment for Recycling and Plastics

Magnetic separation and metal detection equipment is widely used in the recycling and plastics industries. In plastics recycling, these systems help remove metal contamination from regrind, granules, flakes or waste material before extrusion or further processing.

In recycling plants, metal separation equipment can be used to remove ferrous metals from mixed material streams. Depending on the application, additional technologies such as eddy current separators may also be used to separate non-ferrous metals. This terminology is common in the UK recycling machinery market, where listings often describe equipment as all metal separators, magnetic drum separators and eddy current separators.
