Suspended Permanent Magnetic Separators

Suspended permanent magnetic separators are positioned over moving conveyor belts or in a chute for the purpose of removing ferrous contaminants from bulk product flows.

CP and OP
Eriez offers two permanent magnetic field configurations, CP and OP, providing different field strengths and depth of field.
Applications Quarry industry Recycling industry Any other industry where dry ferrous contamination is found on a conveyor belt or chute system Magnet Cleaning Extracted ferrous metals must be removed from the magnet face - the unit's separation efficiency would otherwise be reduced by an accumulation of metals on the magnet face. There are two available options for cleaning the magnet. Manual Cleaning (MC) For low levels of ferrous contamination, the magnet can be manually cleaned by wiping the magnet face. This can be easily done with a stripper plate (optional extra). Self Cleaning (SC) A moving continuous belt surrounds the magnet box. Ferrous material attracted by the magnet is held on the belt, as the belt moves clear of the magnetic field, ferrous materials fall away under gravity into bins for collection and disposal.

Suspended Electromagnets

Electromagnets have automatic removal of tramp iron from material flows on belt conveyors or in chutes.

MC and SC
Eriez offers two types of electromagnets: MC (Manual Clean) and SC (Self Clean).
Highlights Automatic removal of small or large volumes of tramp iron Reliable and durable construction Robust design to withstand harsh conditions and heavy-duty applications Manual or self-cleaning models available, depending on amounts of iron contamination expected Installation across the conveyor belt or over the discharge head pulley Custom-built to suit a particular belt width and/or achieve a specific separation objective Special designs for explosion proof applications, suitable for underground installation All possible sizes MC and SC Models Manual Clean (MC) units must be periodically turned off in order to discharge iron accumulated on the face of the magnet. They are suitable for applications where only occasional tramp iron is expected. These magnets are usually suspended from a traveling trolley so that they can be swung clear of the conveyor before the iron is released. Self Clean (SC) suspended electromagnets provide continuous, automatic removal of tramp iron and feature a heavy-duty belt, a channel frame for supporting the pulleys, adjustable belt take-up and drive. They are recommended where a large amount of tramp iron is expected or where there may be limited access to the magnet for cleaning purposes. Techical datasheet : Suspended Electromagnets.pdf

Magnetic Grates

Complete range of powerful permanent magnetic grates to protect against fine and tramp iron contamination found in dry and free-flowing materials.

Permanent Magnetic Grates
Magnetic grate is available in either rectangular, oval or round designs to fit any size or shape of hopper.
Highlights Various magnet strengths: Ferrite, standard and mega strength rare earth magnetic materials Flexible design Sanitary options available Vibratory models for powdery materials Easy clean designs Low profile housings Simple installation Benefits Preserve product purity by removing small particles of magnetic scale, rust and fine iron contamination Protect valuable machinery Eliminate downtime Techical datasheet : Magnetic Grates.pdf

Plate Magnets

Powerful, dependable magnetic protection against the dangers of fine iron and tramp iron contamination.

Ferrite and Rare Earth Plate Magnets
Company offers Ferrite and Rare Earth permanent plate magnets.
Highlights Superior strength-to-weight ratio Seven-year warranty on workmanship Lifetime warranty on magnetic strength Designed for positioning in chutes, ducts, pipelines and for suspended applications Choose from a complete range of five different magnet strengths Greater flange offset to match thickness of heavier chutes or provide for gasketing available Liquid-tight face plate Stainless steel construction (optional) Sanitary construction (optional) Stepped face plate offers a higher barrier than standard strip to retain spherical types of tramp iron once removed from direct material flow. This feature also provides superior removal and retention of fine ferrous contamination. Available in single or double step design Rare Earth KJB - For use in chutes or suspended over belt conveyors for removal of fine iron and weakly magnetic contaminants from dry and wet free-flowing product. Particularly suited to shallow burdens and for use in the food/pharmaceutical industries where product purity is paramount. Ferrite Brutepower KJF - Designed to handle wood-chip, sugar cane and other extremely difficult tramp iron separation applications. Maxipower KJD - For extra heavy duty applications. Superpower KJC - For heavy duty applications where medium to large tramp metal contamination occurs. Techical datasheet : Plate Magnets.pdf

Magnetic Traps

From magnetic traps Eriez Magnetics offers: stainless steel traps and ceramic traps.

Stainless Steel Traps
Permanent magnets for the removal of ferrous metal contamination from liquid lines.
Highlights Available in ferrite, standard and megas trength rare earth magnetic materials High quality body construction Sanitary models Easy clean design available Pipe sizes from 50mm Water jacketed models Only the highest grades of magnetic and body materials are utilised to provide optimum protection for wet separation Integral sump in all models to help trap larger non-magnetic items as they settle out into the bottom of the body Benefits Preserve product purity by removing small particles of magnetic scale, rust and fine iron contamination Protect valuable machinery Eliminate downtime Applications Food Paints and inks Engineering Ceramics Paper Chemicals Techical datasheet : Stainless Steel Traps.pdf

Ceramic Traps
The Eriez Ceramic Magnetic Trap has been designed to optimise iron removal from ceramic slurries.
The unique ceramic trap is part of an extensive range of magnetic equipment that Eriez supplies to the ceramics industry. Highlights The ceramic trap is designed to remove fine and coarse iron from ceramic glaze The design enables the separation of tramp iron, fine iron and stainless steel that has been introduced from the abrasion of process equipment The system incorporates high intensity, Rare Earth magnetic tubes in a unique configuration. The Rare Earth magnetic tubes have magnetic field readings of between 9,000 to 10,500 Gauss Five, ten and twenty tube models available depending on throughput requirements The unique design allows ceramic material to be gravity fed from the top or pumped up from the bottom Can be installed at many locations: prior to spray drier, prior to screening, recycling glaze lines, prior to glaze spraying Benefits By improving the removal of iron, the number of product rejects is reduced The ceramic trap is proven to provide better iron separation than systems such as standard magnetic traps and small electromagnetic filters Despite enhanced separation, the cost of the Ceramic trap is lower than standard systems Simple and cheap to install Easily removable magnetic tubes ensure that cleaning of ferrous contamination is quick and simple Can be easily moved from one location to another Option to modify design to increase Trap size and number of magnetic tubes for larger throughputs Techical datasheet : Ceramic Traps.pdf

Pulleys

Powerful magnetic pulleys are used to automatically separate heavy tramp iron and fine iron contaminants from conveyor transported materials.

Magnetic Pulleys
They are ideal to help solve even the toughest iron separation problems involving high speeds, heavy burden depths and hard-to-separate materials.
Highlights Powerful uniform magnetic field over the pulley surface Robust (fully welded) Suitable for large and small tramp iron removal Suitable for variable belt speeds and burden depths Easily installed or retrofitted Applications Recycling Food production Mineral processing Chemicals Glass Coal Foundry sand Other dry product streams Techical datasheet : Magnetic Pulleys.pdf

Magnetic Sweepers

Designed for clean sweep removal of dangerous tramp iron from highways, airports, parking lots, terminals, warehouses, quarries, machine shops, factory aisles and parks.

Electro and Permanent
Eriez's electromagnetic and permanent magnetic road and floor sweepers are the fast, efficient, practical way to rid large surface areas of hazardous pieces of iron. In one quick sweep they prevent costly tire damage, reduce equipment downtime and eliminate many safety hazards.
