EPM Plate Handling System

East Coast Magnets offers Electro Permanent Magnetic (EPM) Plate Handling System. Features: EPMs are suspended from fixed length spreader beam so that the maximum range of plates are covered; optimises the available work area by elimination of dunnage; electronic control panel along with standby PCB card; double mag cycle – this ensures the safe lifting of the load; power control – magnetic power can be varied in 4 steps; magnets can be selectively switched according to the length of the plate being handled – smaller plates – only internal magnets are switched On, larger plates - all the magnets are switched On; safety interlock key – to magnetise/demagnetise 2 buttons are to be pressed simultaneously – this eliminates the chance of accidental operation of the magnet; and "Inching" feature – when the magnet is switched On, it might lift more than a single plate. Inching is a feature, which when invoked reduces the magnetic power slowly such that additional plates, if lifted, are dropped. This is used to make sure that only one plate is handled at a time. The system also has ADPREM – Accidental Demagnetisation Prevention Mechanism. It disables the demagnetisation cycle when carrying load; and lamp block – displays the systems present state, chain and hanging arrangement – made of grade 80 high strength steel along with bull ring. Optional units: radio remote control – operates from a convenient distance all the functions, i.e., Mag/Demag/inching/telescopic contraction and expansion (if provided). Application: for loading/unloading plates from railway wagons/trucks, for storing in plate yards, for feeding plates onto a flame/plasma cutting machine table, one at a time, can be used with EOT/gantry/mobile cranes, etc.
