PERMANENT MAGNETIC PLATES

ELEKTROMAG Plate Magnet is

so flexible you can lay the trap for tramp iron almost
anywhere!

ELEKTROMAG Permanent Plate Magnet can be installed

in any position, in any condition - in hot, cold or wet
locations, on vibrating equipment to trap tramp iron from a
wide range of dry, wet, solid materials.

ELEKTROMAG Plate Magnet is a powerful, dependable

permanent protection of costly machinery and products
against tramp iron and fine iron contamination. It is
designed for easy installation in ducts, feedtables and
housings, and also for suspension over screens, moving
conveyors etc.

IDEAL for so many process industries: Grain Feed,

Chemicals, Fertilizers, Foundry Sand, Foodstuffs, Plastics,
Pesticides, Minerals, Textile fibers, Wood chips, Clay-
products or whatever iron can contaminate!

WHERE TO INCORPORATE ELEKTROMAG PLATE MAGNET

Below material flow: For maximum efficiency magnet is

placed beneath rather than above because iron settles down
due to force of gravity

Where material is thin: Fix magnet at a location where

material thins out so that magnet face will be in close
proximity to iron

Where material is slow moving: In chute, or spout, keep the

magnet angle below 45 degree and keep magnet near top of
chute to permit optimum time for magnetic force to work.

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

ELEKTROMAG HUMP.

TYPICAL ARRANGEMENTS

ELEKTROMAG Plate Magnet is easily installed in ducts,

spouts, feed trays on belt conveyors or screens and in chutes
constructed of any type of steel or other material

PERMANENT MAGNETIC CHUTES

FOR EXTRACTION OF FINE IRON CONTAMINATION

FROM DRY FREE-FOLLOWING MATERIALS SUCH
AS CEREALS, CHEMICALS, FOOD-STUFFS, SMALL
COAL, PLASTIC GRANULES ETC.
FOR THE TREATMENT OF POWDERS CONTAINING
SMALL PERCENTAGES OF FINE FERROUS
CONTAMINATION.

ELEKTROMAG Permanent
Magnetic Chutes have been specially designed to give
extremely efficient separation in the above applications. A
special feature of this type of magnetic separator is that the
magnetic impurities actually come into direct contact with
the raw edges of the magnetic poles.

The Chute Type Separators are of all-metal construction

with non-ferrous metal sides.

The capacity depends on several factors such as chute width,

flow rate and material characteristics. The efficiency of
separation depends upon the number of magnetic poles.

Chute type separators are available in standard width, of 200

mm 300 mm and 400 mm and 4 pole units are generally
used. Wider units for higher capacities and a larger number
of poles for higher efficiencies can also be offered.

Standard stationary chutes are supplied without hoppers or

with hoppers as required. Where material does not flow
easily on the chute, mechanical agitation by means of
vibrating action can be provided. Where precise steplessly-
controlled feed is required, the chute can be provided with
electromagnetic vibrating feeders.

Totally enclosed dust proof designs are also available.

Chutes can also be provided with totally enclosed patterns
and flanged inlet and outlet for connection to trunking.

Other designs to suit customers specifications can also be

offered.

PERMANENT MAGNETIC HUMPS

ELEKTROMAG Permanent Magnetic Humps

are used where the flow of material is vertical through ducts
and pipes and where material is conveyed along horizontal
pneumatic lines.

The unit incorporates two permanent magnetic plates

positioned so that tramp iron contained in the flow of
material is directed towards the poles of both the magnetic
plates ensuring maximum magnetic extraction. The tramp
iron pieces usually have a greater density than the feed
material and hence increases the tendency for them to move

towards the magnet.

The two permanent magnetic plates are hinged type and can
be easily opened for manual cleaning.
