Being in business for more than 100 years, Dings has been involved in providing magnetic separators for every conceivable application.  Here are examples of just a few of the more unusual ones:

Rendering Magnets These powerful electromagnets are specifically designed to capture knives and other metal objects as they fall down an inclined chute along with entrails and other meat processing byproducts.
Ball Norton Separator Unlike most magnetic separators which are used to remove relatively small amounts of metal, the Ball Norton Separator is designed to handle large amounts of ferrous material - removing other undesirable elements.  A unique combination of alternating magnetic poles and vibratory conveying works to clean the magnetic material.  Applications include foundry shot, crushed borings, slag and magnetic ores.
Swinging Pendulum Magnet This huge magnet is used in the foundry industry to remove large castings - some weighing as much as 500 lbs.  Swinging from side to side, this separator picks up large pieces of metal and deposits them away from the conveyor.
Sugaron Machetes, cutting tools, metal plates, etc. can pose a serious danger in sugar mills.  The Sugaron magnet was specifically engineered to capture these items in mills processing sugar cane.  These large (up to 7 feet and more) permanent magnets install easily in an existing chute and work constantly to protect workers and equipment in this challenging application.
EBK This powerful, high intensity separator uses alternating magnetic poles to separate items which cannot be separated by other means. One specific application is in the seed industry where the EBK separates seeds by type for added sales value.
