An electromagnet can be used a couple of ways. It can be used on the end of a crane, to pick up large pieces of metal to be moved into shredders, or restacked for transportation, crushing, etc. It can also be used to separate metal from non-metal pieces. Usually, these types of magnets are on a conveyor belt, and will cull metal from, say, plastics or other non-ferrous metals such as copper, and aluminum.

∙ 15y agoBy simply coiling wires around into a loop, electric current is passed through these coils and a magnetic field is created.Turn off the current and the magnet switches off. this is how the scrap is picked up.

How does a car scrap heap magnet work?
Scrap Heap MagnetUsually the kind of magnet a junkyard uses is an electromagnet. An electromagnet is simply an iron core wrapped around by copper wire. Then current runs through the wire, it becomes a very strong magnet. There are other types, but I think electromagnet is the most common for car scrap heap.

What happens inside a scrap heap magnet?
Scrap heap magnets are basically electromagnets. Electromagnets are simply wire coils usually would around an iron core. When connected to a DC voltage or current source, the electromagnet becomes energized, creating a magnetic field just like a permanent magnet. The magnetic flux density is proportional to the magnitude of the current flowing in the wire of the electromagnet.
