What to know about Magnetic Ferrous Traps

A liquid that is passed through the pipes may contain metal impurities. Hence, magnetic ferrous traps were invented to maintain the purity of these liquids, as these remove all iron and other magnetic materials that may be present in the liquid. The trap is normally fixed in the piping system and ensures that all liquid of the processing firm passes through it. Any impurity that is contained in the liquid is filtered, leading to quick purification of the liquid. This is not only important for purification, but also serves a great role in the prevention of tearing out of the machines by the metal irons.
 
Features of a good Magnetic Ferrous Trap 
  • It should be well made using the highest level of raw materials. This will make it durable and serve for longer periods of time. The magnets used should have a high magnetic power that will lead to capturing of maximum number of the iron metals in the liquid.
  • These machines should be made in a using an efficient design so that these can be opened easily. Permanent magnets should always be used in their making to avoid regular maintenance.
  • These machines should be easy to install. Their dimensions should therefore be accurate and precise according to customers’ needs to ensure that they fit in the required place without any problem. They should be well made to occupy a very small space.
  • Stainless steel should be used in its making to ensure that it remains durable and its efficiency is regularly maintained. This will make it serve for longer durations without any drawbacks of reduction in efficiency. Strong steel will also make it more resistant to harsh conditions.
  • Ferrous traps should be easy to maintain. They should not be demanding and must be made in a way that these are easy to clean, without any problem. It should also be easy to inspect and must easily diagnose any problem that might be present.
All the above features can only be met if professionalism has been deployed while manufacturing the traps. Any liquid processing firm needs to be well advised on what to buy to observe outstanding results. The better, if the magnets used posses high magnetic fields and strength.

Permanent Lifting Magnets – Can Increase Productivity

Where there is frequent lifting and movement of iron and steel items and tools, like a construction site, Permanent Lifting Magnets, come to the rescue of the workforce. It helps pick up materials in a variety of shapes, especially around and in the form of tubes. The use of Permanent Lifting Magnets helps you reduce the manual lifting work for the workforce and thereby increase productivity. Equally important, in remote construction sites, it might not be feasible to use overhead travelling cranes to shift heavy stuff. In many work sites, there may not be space enough for the OHT cranes as well. In such locations, these lifting magnets could be a very useful material handling equipment.

Capacity and Safety

Though there are various capacities for which the lifting magnets are manufactured, the normal lifting capacity ranges from 120 kgs to 2 tons. And the magnets fitted in the lifting equipments, are generally of a rating, much higher, around 2 to 3 times the machine’s lifting capacity. To make it simpler, if a lifting magnet has a rating of 500 kgs, the magnet inside is actually capable of lifting up to 150 kgs. This is done to ensure that the safety of the people in the workplace is protected and no room for risk is given.
  
Many Advantages

Permanent Lifting Magnets are also advantageous in the sense that they are dependent on power, or they don't run on batteries, which need recharging. In a typical powered lifting arrangement, there is a threat of the object falling if there is a sudden power disruption, though some of them do come into an arrangement to hold it for a few minutes before a standby power is restored. However, here no such risk exists.

What’s more, being a permanent magnet, its magnetic power lasts a very long period and gives you very little worry in maintaining it. The lifting magnet has a very simple mechanism and even semi-skilled  operators in your factory can handle it. An on/off handle is all it needs to operate or disengage the magnet. For example, if a steel plate is to be shifted, you place the lifting magnet on it and shift the lever to ‘ON’ and if the hook is lifted, slightly, it will show the plate being lifted. Once you reach the destination where it is to be placed, the lever is pulled in the reverse direction to ‘OFF’

One of the aspects, you might want to check with the manufacturer of these lifting magnets, is the basic material with which the magnets are constructed. Rare-earth magnets are the most popularly preferred ones.

All About Plate Magnets

Removal of unwanted metal impurities, such as nails, nuts, bolts and other ferrous substances from the mother feed in various process industries, like coal handling plants, cement manufacturing, food grains processing and in other similar industries, is very critical. This is so because the impurities can cause harm to the substance if it is meant for human consumption. They can even damage the machinery, such as roller surfaces, while the grinding process is underway. So a magnetic-field  arrangement is usually provided on the conveyor belt to pull away and remove these ferrous tramps. Plate Magnets offer one of the most convenient and effective methods of removal of ferrous particles on conveyors or chutes.

Types and Specifications


These magnets are of two types; a) where the plates are encased in a box arrangement normally termed as flush face separator and b) where the plates are directly exposed in the arrangement. In fixing the magnetic separator arrangement, you can opt for any angle, in the same direction as the material is flowing, in the direction opposite to the angle in which the material is flowing or in a directly vertical angle where the material flows vertically down, and the magnet will pull the ferrous contaminants onto its surface and retain it on the surface, to be cleaned periodically.

The next specification the buyer must turn his or her attention to is the application for which the Plate Magnet is being ordered and whether it is a light duty or a heavy-duty  application. This will be decided by the width of the conveyor and how much material is flowing through the conveyors and at what speed. The light-duty  magnets might not be very effective if the distance to be covered to attract the iron particles is over 2 inches. On the other hand, the heavy-duty  magnets can be powerful enough up to even 5 inches. The material of construction, such as rare earth or ceramic materials, also determines whether the application is for light or heavy duty.

Applications and Advantages

Typically, industries such as food processing, chemicals and plastics and other manufacturing industries find magnetic separators as an integral part of their raw material preparation for removal of impurities. The manufacturers and suppliers of permanent magnets work closely with their customer industries, in designing better and more efficient magnetic separators. The design of the magnet has to be properly integrated with the design of the customer’s plant and equipments. The great advantage of these magnets is that they do not need electricity to operate and are easy to clean and maintain and also last for long, keeping the costs under control. The end user has to select the best in the business so that they get the magnetic separator that does the perfect job for them.

Suspension Magnets and their Applications

Suspension magnets are used for removal of tramp iron from conveyers. The magnets are also for processing applications, quarrying and recycling to make sure the machineries and products and clean. Today, the magnets are made using latest technology to meet the industry standards.

The magnets are designed to extract occasional iron tramp from materials carried by gravity chute, vibratory feeder and conveyer belt at a speed of about 200-300 feet every minute. The magnet is suspended over the material to be conveyed. Ferrous material is held against and extracted from the face of the magnet. The amount of tramp iron goes on increasing before necessary cleaning.

Application of The Magnets:

The magnets are used to remove iron from fertilizers, coal, ores, stones and other materials where iron tramp depositions are common. The standard operating height ranges between 100mm-300mm.

Features of Magnets:
  1. The magnets offer high performance with the help of deep magnetic field.
  2. The magnets are designed keeping in mind requirements of the clients.
  3. These come with robust industrial design.
  4. There is no need of power.
  5. These can be installed easily.

Operation of the Magnets:

The large magnet plate consists of a support frame inside that is suspended over conveyed product stream. To ensure optimal removal of iron tramp, the receiving belt magnet is suspended at a height of 5 inch to 8 inches above product stream. The magnet is located in such a position that it can be easily cleaned. Additionally, it is operated in a belt area where integral parts of the conveyer do not get magnetized like the belting support plates or idler rollers. The reason behind this is, it can cause too much of wear and tear on the conveyer system. The collection pan is turned to clean the magnet. Tramp materials are retained in the pan and removed from magnet. The pan is emptied and re-installed at the back of the far side of the magnet.

So, you need to get in touch with the suppliers for suspension magnets that most of the industries cannot do away with. The reputed suppliers ensure you get complete satisfaction from the products supplies. Reputed suppliers engage into long term relation with the clients by delivering high quality products. The equipments are tailored to suit individual needs of the clients. Renowned suppliers have been catering to the ever growing demands of the sugar, coal, chemical, glass and cement plants.

Evolution Of Overband Magnetic Separators

The basic concept of magnetic separators lies in their use of magnetic properties of one material to separate ferrous impurities from other materials. The concept was first innovated by Orange F. Merwin, who used a plain magnetic plate for separation of ferrous impurities. This was particularly popular amongst farmers in the 1940s, as it proved very useful for eliminating metallic impurities from grains.

Magnetic separators work on the basic principle of varying magnetic properties of different constituents. The way a ferrous material reacts to the magnetic field around it, is different from the way plastic, wood, or glass would react to the same. This simple, yet useful, functionality of magnetic separators led to a good amount of research and development of their functionalists. In addition, this has made them an essential component of many large, as well as small-scale, industries.

Magnetic separators can also be used to sort various types of metals, by employing a series of separators, varying in intensity, to pull out strong and weak magnetic materials, at different times. There are different types of magnetic separators available in the market, such as:
  • Permanent magnetic separators
  • Overband magnetic separators
  • Single and double drum type magnetic separators
  • Magnetic ferrous traps
  • Plate and hump magnetic separators
  • Magnetic coolant filters
  • Magnetic pulleys and grids
  • Suspension magnetic separators

Overband magnetic separators, also known as cross-belt magnetic separators, are one of the most useful and common types of magnetic separators, used in various industries, related to cement, food, fertilizers, chemicals, plastics, coal handling, thermal power etc. They are also employed in various recycling plants to separate metal scrap from the clutter, in the most efficient manner.

Cross belt magnetic separators are easy to use, and can be suspended conveniently, either parallel or perpendicular to the material flow over the conveyor belts and feeders, through eye bolts. These magnetic separators automatically discard the tramp iron from the rest of the material, being carried over conveyor belts, vibratory feeders or inclined planes, and discharge it to a collection bin by the cleated belts.

Cross type magnetic separators are available with both permanent magnets and electromagnets, depending on their applications and requirements of the user. While electromagnetic separators use more power to operate, compared to permanent magnet separators, they also provide the advantage of the operation being turned off at any instance, when it becomes dangerous to keep the separator running. Besides, they don’t require maintenance frequently.

Different Models Of Plate Magnets

Plate magnets provide a dependable and economic solution of preventing metal contamination in the processing and manufacturing industry. Metal contamination is one of the commonly occurring problems that cannot only contaminate the products but also damage the machinery or equipment. Plate magnets are used in most of the industries with a ferroplate to prevent abrasion from metal contaminants. They are installed in pipes, chutes, ducts and suspended over conveyors to remove the tramp iron that can further hamper the machine performance and the product purity.

Different Models Of Plate Magnets
  • Super power- It is one of the most popular units of all. It is specially designed to remove tramp iron from several heavy-duty applications. This two-inch model can exhibit very strong magnetic field. The tapered step help to remove the tramp iron 2-3 inches deep from the material flow quite easily.
  • Maxi power- It is designed for extra heavy-duty applications. It has a magnetic field that can project into 3-4 inches of the material flow to remove both small and large pieces of tramp iron. It also has tapered step to hold out the products.
  • Brute power- It is designed to project a magnetic field into 4-5 inches deep material flow. It is designed for extremely tough tramp iron separation in applications like wood chip processing and sugar cane processing.
