Abstract
A magnetic separator system includes a lower conveyor adapted to convey comingled materials to be separated and an upper conveyor disposed above the lower conveyor. The magnetic separator system also includes at least one magnet extending along a length of the upper conveyor to transfer metallic materials from the comingled materials to the upper conveyor. The magnetic separator system further includes an oscillator for moving along the at least one magnet in a reversing motion across a width of the upper conveyor causing the metallic materials to flip over and over and enabling non-metallic materials entrapped with the metallic materials to become separated from the metallic materials and fall to the lower conveyor.
