Beltless Magnetic Conveyors
Beltless Magnetic Conveyors

MPI's Beltless Magnetic Conveyors (BLM) are designed to provide positive control of ferrous metal materials. BLM series conveyors are available in (5) standard models in a wide range of configurations designed specifically to meet your application. Typical materials conveyed include metal, stampings, turnings, chips, fasteners and scrap.
BLM conveyors are offered with many design options and can also be supplied with other ancillary components, such as feeders, hoppers, etc., to provide a complete material handling system. Conveyors are available in these shapes:
- Dogleg
- Dogleg with extended discharge
- Horizontal straight
- Incline straight
Magnetic Belt Conveyors

MPI’s Magnetic Belt Conveyors provide effective control of ferrous objects on high speed horizontal and inclined to vertical conveyor belts. A wide range of styles are available for a variety of belting designs including fabric, table top and stainless steel mesh. Magnetic Belted Conveyors are offered with many design options and can also be supplied with other ancillary components such as feeders, hoppers, etc. to provide a complete material handling system.
Steel Hinge Belt Conveyors

MPI’s Steel Hinge Belt Conveyors (SBC) offer a competitive design to handle a wide range both ferrous and nonferrous materials including hot oil parts. Standard designs are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet your application and include plain, perforated, pimpled, or pimpled and perforated aprons. SBCs are offered with many design options, as well as ancillary components, such as feeders, hoppers, etc., to provide a complete material handling system.
- Perfect for conveying a wide range of materials in demanding conditions including heat drying processes
- Custom engineered designs using standard components
- One segment apron in plain, perforated, pimpled, or pimpled and perforated
- Effectively conveys all types of metals in tough environments of heat, impact and abrasive
- Longer life and smoother performance with heavy-duty side frames
- Built in torque limiter
- Interlocking belt sidewings prevent jamming of material
Sheet Separators

MPI’s Standard Sheet Separators (SS Series) meet the needs of demanding manufacturing environments. They are designed to improve productivity and employee safety in sheet handling operations. These magnets can also provide significant benefits in reducing costs by eliminating “doubles” when handling oily, sticky, or pre-finished sheet stock in an automated stamping, forming, or shearing operations.
Stack Tracker

Available in a Standard and Safety version, MPI is proud to offer the safest manually operated Sheet Separator on the market. With the operator in mind, these units properly separate sheets while eliminating pinch points during operation. MPI’s Stack Tracker is manufactured to meet the demanding needs of metal forming production environments. The Stack Tracker significantly increases uptime by eliminating the possibility of double sheets when handling oily, sticky or pre-finished blanks in automated stamping, forming and shearing operations.
Pneumatic Automated Fanner Magnet

Automated fanner magnets are designed for high-volume, PLC-operated production lines. Unlike traditional sheet separators, our exclusive system retracts the magnet away from the unit face, eliminating any residual magnetic field and allowing for safer and more consistent movement of metal sheets. MPI’s pneumatic automated fanner magnets significantly increase uptime by eliminating “double sheets” when handling oily, sticky or pre-finished blanks in automated stamping, forming and shearing operations.
- Eliminates residual magnetic field when off, improving operator safety
- Increasing productivity and efficiency
- Enables easier handling of oily, sticky, polished sheets
- Powerful rare earth permanent magnet for fanning large sheets
- Compact and lightweight design for simple mounting to end of arm tooling
Magnetic Rails and Pulleys

MPI’s Magnetic Rails and Pulleys are designed for easy installation into new or existing belted conveyors or other material handling equipment. Magnetic Box Rails are used to hold and position ferrous or partly ferrous parts. They are ideal for use in “can handling” conveyor systems. The rail’s strong magnetic field is completely contained within the working surface and is extremely effective in applications which require a high “reachout” magnetic field. Magnetic Box Rails are used to:
- Save floor space by elevating parts up steep inclines or vertically
- Change direction of moving parts quickly
- Control the speed of moving parts to accelerate or decelerate
- Stabilize and hold parts in position
- Magnetically separate ferrous parts from non-ferrous materials in conveying and processing lines
Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter

MPI’s Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter PMPL Series is designed for ferrous parts and the direct replacement of vacuum cups located on ferrous parts transfer systems.
MPI’s exclusive “Fail Safe” feature is built into each magnet. Once the powerful permanent magnet is engaged, only air pressure in the reverse “off” direction will disengage the unit, even if the airline is disconnected or loses pressure. This process ensures a positive connection between your parts and the working surface of the Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter.
Vibratory Feeder Conveyors

MPI’s pneumatically driven vibratory feeder conveyors offer an efficient and affordable way to feed materials. They are available in a variety of models and are designed to handle product volumes up to eight (8) tons per hour. Boasting a compact and sanitary design, MPI’s rugged and reliable vibratory feeders are commonly used for foodstuffs, chemicals, or other dry, powder or granular products.
Pneumatic Switchable Permanent Magnet

Whether milling, turning, drilling or grinding, MPI’s Pneumatic Switchable Permanent Magnet will hold your workpiece in place with a strength previously unattainable. This workholding magnet delivers four to ten times the holding power of competitive products. Not only does the Pneumatic Switchable Permanent Magnet boast significantly better power, it also houses this magnetic strength in an enclosure that is typically more than 50% smaller than other comparable units. MPI’s Pneumatic Switchable Permanent Magnet is the only one able to handle thin gauge metals, which often do not accommodate the use of magnet workholding devices.
- Superior performance part holding of laser welded blanks
- Low cost operation – no electricity or hydraulics required to operate (pneumatic actuated)
- Extremely reliable – life cycle tested to > 5,000,000 cycles to date
- Shear holding force is 3X–7X stronger than competitor’s electro-magnet
- Shear force is comparable to hydraulically switched magnets, but without the complexity
- Results in increased productivity and quality; reducing rejected parts
- Top clamping mass enhancers not required
