Magnetic Equipments-Plate Magnets
Below material flow: |
Where material is thin: |
In chute, or spout, keep the magnet angle below 45 degree and keep the magnet near top of chute to permit optimum time for magnetic force to work.</td> |
If angle of flow is between 45 degree and 70 degree Multiple pole magnet is advised. |
If angle is more than 70 degree or if the flow is vertical use Star Trace Hump |
For maximum effeciency magnet is placed beneath rather than above because iron settles down due to force of gravity. |
Fix magnet at a location where material thins out so that magnet face will be in close proximity to iron. |
Flush Face Star Trace Plate Magnets deliver optimum tramp metal separation performance when used in above-the-flow chute or belt application. When installed over the material flow, the powerful Flush Face plate magnets deliver continuous magnetic protection for down stream processing equipment by lifting ferrous tramp out of the product flow stream.
Star Trace's Exposed Pole plate Magnets are engineered to deliver high performance tramp metal separation in low volume applications. These applications are for below-the flow installations where the product flows over the magnet face.
Star Trace diverter Spout Magnets provide maximum ferrous tramp metal separation in high volume chute applications where wash-off can be a problem. Spot Magnets employ a primary diverter to prevent tramp metal "wash-off". A secondary diverter reduces product degradation by ramping the product over the downstream chute edge.
Star Trace's Self - Cleaning Spout Magnet provides ferrous tramp metal removal, in chute applications, with remote cleaning. Air cylinders are used to swing magnet and spout face away from chute. While the cylider is moving the Self-Cleaning Spout Magnet, the spout face stops. separating it from the magnet. Once the magnet is separated from the spout face the collected tramp iron is discaded. Air cylinders return both magnet and spout face back to operating position.
Fine particle size separation is now available in a plate magnet. This magnet is substantially stronger than conventional plate magnets. Located in chutes, this rare earth ,magnet can capture weakly magnetic iron in dry or wet product flows. This magnet features two liquid tight diverters to prevent captured tramp iron wash-off. Manufactured in two different strengths and in widths to match your chute.
Ideal for wide conveyors, this plate magnet can be manufactured to match your conveyor width. Available in several thicknesses and strengths to effectively remove tramp metal that has fallen on the conveyor. Located prior to packaging machinery. this plate magnet is currently being used for single layer products such as: cookies, crackers, chips, pretzels, textiles, fiberglass, etc. This magnet measures 6-3/16" long, with the product flow, by 1-5/16" thick. Manufactured in widths to match your conveyor.
