Available in Electro are Self-Cleaning Overhead Magnets and Suspension Magnets, among others. These are available for conveyors that are deeper troughed, moving faster and respectively carrying deeper burdens of a wide range of materials or when tramp iron to be separated is extremely heavy. All Self-Cleaning Separators or Suspension Magnets are designed for installation over conveyors where tramp iron contamination exists and needs to be removed for protection of subsequent processing machinery or providing cleaner product. They are capable of operating in different environments throughout the world.
Magnets can be air or oil cooled, whichever is more suitable for the application.
Oil cooled magnets are fitted with expansion tanks to ensure the coil is always immersed in oil and is furnished with breather and sight glass. Larger separators to 30 tons are built in sections and can be assembled on site. In certain applications, when site conditions dictate, an overband can be fitted in a diagonal position using the better features of both applications, but not obtaining the perfection of true 'in-line' position. Suspension units are cleaned merely by turning off the magnet at point of control. Sizes for all width conveyors and material burden depths are available to suit any application.
