Steel ball mill abrasive magnets need to be very powerful due to the shape of the abrasive presenting only a small amount of surface area to stick to the magnet. Bluestreak Equipment offers the strongest ball mill clean up magnetic sweepers on the market with proven performance for quick clean-up after spills or cleanouts. Keep workers safe from the slipping and projectile hazards that come from spilled ball mill abrasive using Bluestreak magnetic power.

The Powerstik Pro Elite is Bluestreak’s premium handheld magnetic sweeper built for professionals with over 2x more power than the original Powerstik. This additional power increases the speed you can clean an area by picking up more per pass and holding more debris before needing to clean the magnet.
The Pro Elite comes with the new Powerstik Quick Clean-Off sleeve that removes debris with a press of a button and slide of the sleeve. It also doubles as a wear bar to prevent damaging the aluminum housing when dragging on hard surfaces, it has four sides so you can flip it around multiple times when a side gets worn out.
The new adjustable height arm rest allows for easy maneuvering of the 4.3lbs sweeper by people of different heights.
The new rare earth Super Blue magnet system in this sweeper will pick up a nail from 3.25” and will hold an impressive amount of weight making it perfect for picking up any metal debris in tight spaces.

Available in 1 size: Sunda 49″

The Sunda magnetic sweeper is built to quickly retrieve all sizes of steel balls used in ball mills. This is possible thanks to the permanently charged 12” x 11” x 48” C8 ceramic magnet housing that can reliably pick up steel balls and will hold 247Lbs of 20mm balls without dropping any. When its time to empty the debris off, the Sunda uses a hydraulic ram powered by the skid steer’s auxiliary hydraulics to separate the debris pan from the magnetic field which drops everything off onto the ground or over a bin.
The massive magnetic power of the Sunda also enables it to be an excellent magnetic sweeper for general metal debris clean up. The Sunda can pick up a 2.5” inch 8 penny nail from 16” inches off the ground, this means you can set the magnet high enough to avoid hitting the ground while still collecting all debris on the ground while moving.
Thanks to the wrap around function, even if the stainless-steel debris pan hits the ground, debris will just snap around to the back of the magnet rather than knocked off the magnet. The Sunda skid steer magnet also comes standard with a height adjustable 3/8” inch spring steel debris digging rakes equipped. This allows the operator to agitate debris out of packed ground and groom the surface the Sunda is being used on.

Built to Retrieve Ball Milling Steel Abrasive Material
The Mammoth magnetic sweeper is built to clear big spaces quickly, the powerful 12” x 12” x 68” alternating pole C8 magnetic assembly can hold huge amounts of metallic debris before needing to be cleaned off and can pick up a 2.5” nail from 16” off the ground. The Mammoth can retrieve even the most elusive debris types including the nickel/steel balls used in material processing from within its 2” – 7” sweeping range.
Height adjustment and clean off is just as heavy duty as the magnetic power, these functions can be controlled from the tow vehicle using a wireless remote that activates the 12v 3000psi hydraulic system that controls magnet position and trailer height.
Comes standard with lights & fenders, on-board battery charger, and pintle ring hitch. Debris digging rake and grader attachments are optional accessories that extend the function of the Mammoth to grooming roads and industrial yards with gravel or packed surfaces.
Check out the Product Demo Videos to see the Mammoth in action in different applications.

Scooping up steel ball mill abrasive using a loader bucket or skid steer / track loader is perfectly fine when you are working on a hard flat surface with a good back stop to scoop the balls against. But when steel balls are spilled out of ball / verti mills onto an uneven surface or dirt it can be difficult to retrieve them while avoiding contamination. This is where using a magnetic sweeper becomes invaluable for saving labour costs and increasing the amount of abrasive that can be recovered and re used after clean outs.
Steel balls are the most difficult type of metal debris to pick up with a magnet. This is because of the cross-sectional ferritic composition that the ball shape presents. All this means is that because the weight of the ball is in the middle, and the top of the ball (closest to the magnet surface) does not have much ferrous (magnetic) material for the magnet to pull on, making it difficult to pick up. This is why such strong magnets are required to collect these steel balls efficiently and reliably. Bluestreak Equipment offers the strongest magnetic sweepers available that are purpose built to collect ball mill abrasive.
Steel balls can be re used in vertimills and ball mills until they disintegrate, the more abrasive you can pull out of the ground the less will have to be purchased to recharge the mill and the whole operation becomes less wasteful. Steel balls left on / embedded in the ground can also be hazardous as they become slippery when wet and can become a projectile if embedded between tire treads of vehicles on site. Using a magnet to keep a ball mill site clean makes sense from a safety, monetary, and sustainability perspective.
Processing raw ore containing soft metals into useable material requires SAG milling, this process uses steel balls to crush rock small enough to extract the copper or gold inside. During maintenance of these mills the balls get spilled into a processing yard producing a slipping hazard and costing the company money to replace the balls. Bluestreak Equipment developed our Mammoth with the help of the New Afton Mine in Kamloops British Columbia to retrieve these balls and flew out a year later to check the results. The video shows what the Mill Operation General Supervisor thinks of the Mammoth magnetic sweeper after a year of use.
