What Happened

Eriez said it would highlight tramp metal control and feeding solutions at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026. The message is very close to what quarry and cement buyers tell suppliers every day: higher tonnage is useful only when crushers and conveyors stay protected.

Why Buyers Should Care

A suspended permanent magnet, suspended electromagnet, magnetic head pulley or metal detector can each play a different role. The right choice depends on belt width, burden depth, particle size, tramp metal frequency and where the plant can safely discharge captured material.

Cowinmagnet Viewpoint

When a buyer sends only the belt width, we can give a rough direction. When they send the crusher position, burden depth and installation photos, the recommendation becomes much more useful. Protection is not just a product. It is a layout decision.
