An industrial magnetic separator is used to remove ferromagnetic debris from a conveyor belt carrying crushed non-magnetic material. As shown in the diagram below, a large, rectangular Alnico block is suspended above the belt. A small iron scrap fragment is pulled upward by the magnetic field and remains suspended in the air gap.
