A magnet cleaner cooperates with one or more permanent magnets positioned over a conveyer carrying pieces of metal in non-ferrous material so as to remove the metal from the non-ferrous material. The magnet cleaner includes a frame and a capture sheet mounted to the frame and positioned on the frame so as to be substantially flush with the permanent magnets when they are in their lowered positioned. The magnets are spaced by an attenuation distance from the capture sheet when they are in their raised position. The permanent magnets, which may be mounted in a housing, are positionably mounted on the frame so as to be selectively elevatable between their lowered and raised positions upon actuation of an actuator. The actuator is positioned so as to cooperate with the permanent magnets and the frame so as to raise or lower the magnets relative to the capture sheet.

The invention relates to a device for separating elongate magnetizable objects from a material stream by length. The device includes a magnetic field, which magnetic field is homogeneous in a field zone; a transport device with a transport surface for carrying the material stream through the field zone in a transport direction, wherein the field direction in the field zone is oriented at right angles to the transport direction; and a separating device for carrying the elongate magnetizable objects separated by length out of the field zone in a separation direction, which separating device includes at least one take-up element which travels a path running at least partially through the field zone. In the path in the field zone the minimum distance between the at least one take-up element and the transport surface is a first distance which is smaller than or equal to the greatest main dimension of a cross-section of the field zone parallel to the transport surface. The invention also relates to a method for separating elongate magnetizable objects from a material stream by length.

A magnetic separator comprises: at least one pair of guide rolls; and a conveyor belt that extends between the pair of guide rolls, and conveys a powdery and/or granular material containing ferromagnetic particles, wherein one guide roll of the pair of guide rolls is a hollow roll, and includes, in a hollow part thereof, a magnet roll including a plurality of magnets that are arranged along an inner peripheral surface of the guide roll in lines at intervals so that different magnetic poles alternate in a circumferential direction, and the magnetic separator further comprises a shield wall that covers a circular arc region of an outer peripheral surface of the guide roll except a circular arc region around which the conveyor belt is wound, to block magnetic lines of force from the plurality of magnets.

An apparatus for entrapping magnetic material comprising a magnetic sub-assembly and a retention trap removably attached thereto. The retention trap having an entrapment surface such that magnetic material drawn into the trap as a result of the magnetic influence of the magnetic sub-assembly, is magnetically held and mechanically trapped within said entrapment surface.

A molding sand reclamation method and reclamation system effectively separates magnetically attracted matter from molding sand. The molding sand reclamation method includes removing metal powder and metal pieces by magnetic separation with a first magnetic flux density and removing magnetically attracted matter by magnetic separation with a second magnetic flux density higher than the first magnetic flux density from molding sand separated from a casting by shot blasting, and removing by dry mechanical reclamation, from the molding sand, substances including carbonized matter adhered to the surface of the molding sand.
