Reliable Ferrous Metal Separation in RDF/SRF Plants: BAS MBS Permanent Overband Magnetic Separators
Reliable Ferrous Metal Separation in RDF/SRF Plants: BAS MBS Permanent Overband Magnetic Separators
Alternative Fuel (RDF/SRF) plants play a crucial role in converting municipal and industrial waste into valuable energy resources. However, waste streams often contain a wide range of ferrous metals that can damage shredders, crushers, conveyors, and other critical processing equipment if they are not removed before downstream processing.
BAS MBS Permanent Overband Magnetic Separators are specifically designed to recover unwanted ferrous metals from conveyor belts, protecting valuable equipment while improving the quality of alternative fuel production. (https://bas.com.tr/en/products/permanent-overband-magnetic-separators)
Which Ferrous Metals Can Be Recovered in RDF and SRF Plants?
Waste streams processed in RDF and SRF facilities may contain numerous ferrous contaminants originating from municipal waste, construction debris, industrial waste, and equipment wear.
BAS MBS separators efficiently recover:
- Iron pieces
- Steel parts
- Reinforcing bars (Rebar)
- Nails
- Screws
- Nuts and bolts
- Steel wire
- Sheet metal fragments
- Scrap ferrous metals
- Ferrous contaminants generated by equipment wear
Removing these metals before the shredding and refining stages significantly reduces equipment wear, minimizes unexpected downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and improves plant reliability.
Wide Magnetic Performance Range
Every recycling facility has different operating conditions. For this reason, BAS offers a comprehensive MBS product range suitable for different conveyor widths, capacities, and material burden depths.
The standard product range includes models producing approximately:
- 600 Gauss at a working distance of 300 mm
- 450 Gauss at a working distance of 200 mm
This wide range allows engineers to select the most appropriate separator according to conveyor dimensions, throughput capacity, material height, and the required magnetic separation performance.
Engineered for Safety, Reliability, and Long Service Life
BAS MBS Permanent Overband Magnetic Separators incorporate numerous engineering features as standard to ensure safe, reliable, and maintenance-friendly operation.
Standard features include:
- Magnetically isolated steel chassis
- Direct-coupled geared motor
- Fully enclosed, operator-safe construction
- Belt tracking system to prevent belt misalignment
- Special design preventing material from entering between the separator body and the conveyor belt
These design features maximize equipment reliability while minimizing maintenance requirements and ensuring uninterrupted operation even under demanding recycling conditions.
Project-Specific Engineering Solutions
No two RDF or SRF plants are identical.
Each BAS MBS separator is individually selected according to conveyor width, belt speed, material burden depth, throughput capacity, and the characteristics of the processed waste.
This project-oriented engineering approach ensures maximum ferrous metal recovery while optimizing operating costs and overall plant efficiency.
