UMP permanent overhead suspension magnets from STEINERT have been successfully deployed for decades, mainly in semi-mobile systems – anywhere where electricity is scarce or short working distances are required. Our STEINERT UMP offering therefore extends from small, compact magnetic separators for semi-mobile use up to large magnetic separators, which can be equipped with permanent magnets adapted to the sorting objective for a cost-optimised system solution. Permanent magnets are very energy efficient, since they do not require cooling. The belt can moreover be changed nowadays without having to disassemble the entire sorting machine. The actual magnet in the UMP is very powerful due to its special structure and specific manufacturing method.
