Abstract
A magnetic separator comprising a plurality of relatively aligned magnetic field generators and a belt associated with the magnetic field generators and supported to move serially through the magnetic fields generated by the magnetic field generators. The magnetic field generators are spaced relative to each other in the direction of their relative alignment a distance sufficient to produce serial gaps between the magnetic fields generated such that magnetic articles attracted to the belt by one of the magnetic fields fall away from the belt at the gaps. The magnetic separator also comprises a conveyor below the belt and supported at the gaps to receive magnetic articles falling from one of the magnetic fields and to transport the fallen magnetic articles to the next magnetic field where the magnetic articles are again attracted to the belt.
