Mining equipment is an indispensable part of mining machinery that is widely used in the mining industry. Drum pulleys comprise of ceramic magnets, a rim of stainless steel and are used with conveyor belt. Magnet should be arranged in proprietary pattern projecting the flux density several inches from rim. Magnetic drum pulley is an ideal magnetic product that can be used in conveyor belts as head pulley. Such pulleys are multifunctional that offer the most superior removal of nails, spikes, cans, wire or ferrous contamination. Unwanted metals can be removed at low costs through magnet pulley. Ferrous fines are attracted by the magnetic effect of the pulley that is held by the belt till it reaches underside. Ferrous materials then pass out from the magnetic field and then get collected into the bin or chute. Cleaned materials are discharged over the vertical top of the pulley.
What are the applications of drum pulley?
A drum pulley is used for a variety of purposes. Pulleys are used for waste recovery, mining, for recycling applications, salt industries, manufacture of glass and paper, in coal and cement plant.
What are the features of magnetic pulleys?
There are various features of a magnetic pulley:
There are various features of a magnetic pulley:
- Such pulleys are easy installable over conveyor discharge.
- Magnetic pulleys offer magnetic protection completely that in turn helps in the removal of ferrous contamination.
- Differently sized magnetic pulleys are available for different conveyors.
- Such pulleys might use earth magnets or even ceramic magnets.
How to install the pulleys?
It is fairly easy to install the pulleys. There is the presence of four bolts over block bearing pillow that holds the pulley in place. The user simply needs to loosen the belt (conveyor), and replace the old pulley with magnetized new pulley. There is no need for electricity while installing the pulley.
How to buy the magnetic pulley?
There are certain buying tips which the buyers need to follow prior to the buying of magnetic pulley:
There are certain buying tips which the buyers need to follow prior to the buying of magnetic pulley:
- The buyer must see that the width of the equipment used by the buyer must match with the pulley width.
- The diameter of shaft and pulley must match with equipment’s diameter.
- The pulley must fit into the conveyor system well.
Magnets are placed into stainless steel that is nearly 304/316 drum shell over the shaft. Shafts are comprised of steel that is properly supported to handle the load. These pulleys are also termed as self-cleaning magnetized pulleys for they help in separating fine and large particles from the material.
