Magnet Technology

Magnets are normally viewed as substances which have the property to attract metals like iron, nickel etc. Their major role in a layman’s life may have been in a science laboratory in school or college. However, very few people know about magnet technology. Magnets have emerged as important components in various industrial fields like conveyor belts, cell phones, electric motors and generators, credit/debit, ATM cards, speakers and microphones, televisions, LCDs and so on. Magnetic technology has found diverse applications by providing assistance at construction sites for material handling, assistance in drilling etc.  Many construction companies use magnets for cleaning up their construction sites. New kind of magnetic sweepers have emerged as an efficient tool in this field.

Magnets and magnet technology are playing vital role in various fields. To begin with transportation their use has been found in the form of Magnetic levitation transport or maglev which is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles like trains though electromagnetic force. These trains are found largely in countries like China where the magnetic technology is very well developed. Magnets are also used in various types of electromagnetic toys.

Magnetic technology has also led to the development of magnets as fail safe devices for some cable connections like in laptops many a times magnetic power cords are used to prevent accidental damage to the port when tripped over example the MagSafe power connection to the Apple MacBook. Coming to the industrial use of magnetic technology these are widely used in conveyor belts. These conveyor belts are specifically used in plastic recycling to move plastic parts by conveyor to a grinder.

The entertainment industry also makes use of magnets as there are VHS recording tapes which have magnetic tape used to encode the video and audio. TV and computer screens contain a cathode ray tube which employs an electromagnet to guide electrons to the screen. Magnets are also used in speakers and microphones as most speakers employ a permanent magnet and a current carrying coil to convert electrical energy into magnetic energy.

Some high tech uses of magnetic technology has also been found in new type of residential windows by a Japanese company that self-darkens itself to provide privacy to the home owner.
Not only these are used in big industries and large machines, magnets are found in almost every item of our day to day life be it cell phones or toys or even smart cards. Magnets are also used largely in the health care industry wherein hospitals use them for MRI scans which shows detailed information of the human body.

Thus it is amazing to know the diverse applications of magnets in our day to day lives which remain unknown to a lot of people and also the diverse uses in different industries. New inventions and discoveries are however being carried out in this field everyday by the scientists and new innovations are likely to take place in the days to come which may take magnetic technology to new dimensions.

Magnetic Sweepers: Making Construction Site Cleanup More Effective an Efficient

As the construction work at a construction site goes on waste materials need to be regularly cleaned up. It is particularly important to keep the construction sites clean as there are dangerous debris and other construction materials which can cause injuries to the workers as well as people passing by. Magnetic Sweepers have emerged as an efficient tool in this context. A magnetic sweeper is a tool mounted on a long handle, much like a push broom.  At the base, magnetic strips pick up any lost nails or other metal debris from the ground.  Some sweeper magnets feature wheels on each side, so that they can be easily rolled over the ground.  Some sweeper magnets may also employ the addition of a rake-like attachment at the base, to pick up any metal pieces that are buried in the grass.  Hand operated sweeper magnets can range in size from as small as 10 or 12 inches wide, to as large as 36 inches wide.

These have made the work of site cleaning much more effective because they can complete the work which takes 2-3 hours in just 20-30 minutes. Moreover, material which is magnetic in nature like iron nails and magnetic debris can be more effectively cleaned using a magnetic sweeper as they may not be visible to naked eye. Responsible firms are increasingly using these Magnetic Sweepers as they reduce the burden and cost of manual labour, as well as fulfill company’s ethical obligation of keeping the site clean.

Magnetic Sweepers are largely used by the roofing companies because roofers use a lot of nails, many of which get dropped into the homeowner's grass which may cause pricks and injuries to the house owners and therefore a thorough cleanup is very important.

Places like scrap metal yards and parking lots use magnetic sweepers which are mounted on large vehicles as the area is relatively large and needs to be cleaned up properly. These sweepers range in size from 48 inches to 72 inches wide, and can be suspended by chains from the front bumper of a vehicle.  Some vehicle mounted sweeper magnets can also be hung from the forks of a skid loader, as well. These help by cleaning large areas in a short period of time. Therefore unlike the earlier days where the cleaning workers had to pick up debris manually from each site before moving on to the next one an efficient solution in the form of magnetic sweepers has arrived. The manual process was time consuming, costly and ineffective which led to wastage of efforts. Therefore many leading construction companies are opting for magnetic sweepers to clean their construction sites.

However, the necessary precaution that needs to be taken while using them is not to move it over the ground too quickly as it will make it ineffective in picking up magnetic debris. Thus, an effective and efficient solution for construction companies and construction site owners is available in the form of magnetic sweepers.
