Douglas Manufacturing showcased its new magnet, the Interceptor, at AGG1 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Interceptor is a self-cleaning, permanent magnetic separator designed specifically for portable plants. It is equipped with a low-speed, high-torque hydraulic drive and automatically discharges tramp metal away from the conveyor.

The magnet is compact and lightweight, the company says, and has a suspension height of up to 12 in. from its belt top cover. The magnet also features crown face pulleys for vulcanized lagging and comes standard with slide tube belt take-ups.

According to Douglas Manufacturing, the Interceptor has a heavy-duty rubber cover belt with hot vulcanized cleats and an optional armor-clad belt.

“ The Interceptor is lightweight, powerful, built to perform and designed specifically for portable plants,” says Paul Ross, president of Douglas Manufacturing. “ The profile matches portable plants very efficiently, and you don’t have to have a significant structure to support it on the conveyor system.”
