Suspension Magnets

Erich Magnetics offers Suspension Magnets that are widely used to remove tramp iron from raw or finished products conveyed on belt conveyors. The magnet body is fabricated from high permeability steel. The bottom surface of the magnet is made of non-magnetic stainless steel to withstand wear and tear during operation. Four eyebolts are provided to enable installation of the magnet. The permanent magnet is built up of anisotropic strontium ferrite magnets suitably oriented and assembled. The magnet assembly is cannistered in a stainless steel shell to prevent it from damage or breakage. The magnet is of bi-polar nature with field intensity uniformly distributed across the magnet surface. A permanent magnet requires no rectifier or wiring to be done, its installation cost is minimum while operating cost is nil and lastly it functions regardless of power failure. A wide range of Erich electro suspension magnets and overband magnets is also available. The ideal position for the installation of a suspension magnet is over the free trajectory of the material discharged from the head pulley of a belt conveyor. The company manufactures permanent suspension magnets suitable for standard belt conveyor widths of 400, 500, 650, 800, 900, 1000 mm and up to 1800 mm. Operating height ranges from 100 mm (4") to 450 mm (18"). However, for operating height above 450 mm only electro magnets are recommended. For selection of the right magnet, following information is required: material description, size, bulk density and burden depth; belt conveyor width, capacity and speed; tramp iron size, shape, weight and percentage; type of separation – whether equipment protection, purification, reclamation or salvage; and type of magnet either permanent or electro magnet.
