Magnets in the aggregate industry are heavy equipment attachments and systems used to separate, lift, and remove ferrous metal from material streams. They are commonly used in crushing, screening, recycling, and material handling operations to protect downstream equipment and improve product quality. Typical applications include removing rebar, wire, nails, and other steel contaminants from rock, concrete, asphalt, and demolition debris. Magnets are used by aggregate producers, recycling facilities, demolition contractors, and quarry operators that need efficient metal recovery and contamination control. This category includes suspended magnets, magnetic pulleys, and hydraulic or electric magnet attachments designed for loaders, excavators, and conveyors in demanding aggregate environments.
