Powerful, Oil-Cooled Electromagnet
MPI's Quick-Clean Suspended Electromagnets are engineered to effectively eliminate both large and small tramp metal from product streams transported by vibratory beds or belts at speeds reaching 250 feet per minute. These powerful oil-cooled electromagnets are specifically designed to extract large and medium tramp metal from conveyed products that have significant burden depths.
The Quick-Clean Suspended Electromagnets function as robust oil-cooled electromagnetic plate magnets, positioned above the product streams. It is crucial to place the magnet in a location along the production line that facilitates easy maintenance, ensuring that no integral components of the conveying system, such as idler rollers, pulleys, or belt support plates, become magnetized during operation.
Benefits of the Quick-Clean Suspended Electromagnet From Magnetic Products, Inc
Powerful Oil-Cooled Electromagnet
The internal coil is immersed in a dielectric oil bath, allowing the magnet to operate at higher intensities and longer duty cycles without overheating—ideal for demanding, continuous-use environments.
Effective Tramp Metal Removal at High Burden Depths
Engineered to remove both large and medium-sized tramp iron from conveyed materials with deep burden layers, this solution maximizes protection for downstream crushers, grinders, and processing equipment.
Quick-Clean Design for Faster Maintenance
The manually operated quick-clean configuration enables operators to safely access and remove accumulated metal from the magnet surface with minimal downtime, requiring no tools or disassembly.
Designed for Belt and Vibratory Conveyors
Versatile mounting options make the ERBM ideal for use over both belt conveyors and vibratory beds, handling material flow rates up to 250 feet per minute with consistent separation efficiency.
Rugged, Industrial-Grade Construction
Built with heavy-duty steel housing and impact-resistant components, the ERBM is well-suited for harsh operating conditions across various industries, including mining, recycling, aggregate, and others.
Energy-Efficient Performance
While the unit requires electrical power, the oil-cooled design enhances thermal efficiency and magnetic field strength, reducing energy waste and increasing the lifespan of internal components.
Equipment and Product Protection
By removing ferrous contaminants from product streams, the ERBM prevents costly equipment damage, reduces fire and explosion risks, and helps maintain high-quality end products.
Field-Adjustable Suspension Height
Suspension Height can be adjusted based on burden depth, material size, and desired separation performance, allowing the system to be fine-tuned for specific applications and installations.
Quick-Clean Suspended Electromagnet Product Details
How It Works
MPI’s Quick-Clean Suspended Electromagnets are high-performance, oil-cooled magnetic separation systems designed to extract tramp iron—both large and small—from product streams conveyed on belts or vibratory beds. These units offer a powerful and efficient method of metal separation in material handling systems operating at speeds up to 250 feet per minute.
System Components & Setup
Oil-Cooled Electromagnetic Plate Magnet
The heart of the system is a durable, oil-filled electromagnetic coil enclosed in a steel housing. The oil cooling improves heat dissipation, allowing the magnet to maintain high field strength and operate continuously in demanding environments.
Suspended Mounting Configuration
The magnet is mounted above the conveyor or vibratory bed, suspended in a position where it can scan the entire product flow. It’s typically installed at a strategic point in the process line where tramp metal is most likely to be encountered and easily removed.
Quick-Clean Access Design
While the unit does not use a self-cleaning belt, its Quick-Clean configuration allows operators to easily access and clean the magnet face, minimizing downtime and maintenance labor.
Operational Process
Magnetic Attraction of Tramp Metal
As the product stream moves beneath the suspended magnet, the powerful electromagnetic field penetrates through the conveyed material, attracting and lifting ferrous tramp metal—including bolts, nuts, nails, tools, and fragments—from the burden.
Tramp Metal Accumulation
The attracted metal debris adheres to the magnet’s working face, accumulating across its surface. This collection continues until the magnet reaches a capacity threshold or during scheduled maintenance intervals.
Manual Cleaning Process
To remove accumulated tramp metal, the unit is de-energized (cutting the magnetic field), and the metal drops away from the magnet face. The open-access design of the Quick-Clean configuration allows operators to perform this task quickly and safely.
Installation Considerations
Non-Magnetic Support Structure
To ensure optimal magnetic performance, the unit should be suspended over non-magnetic conveyor components. Avoid placing it near steel idler rollers, pulleys, or support plates, as these components may become magnetized and interfere with separation efficiency.
Accessibility for Maintenance
The magnet should be installed in a location that offers safe and easy access for cleaning and inspection. This ensures that maintenance teams can routinely remove tramp iron and verify system performance with minimal disruption to production.
