Electromagnets are simple. Electromagnets consist of a length of conductive wire wrapped around a piece of metal. Introduce an electric current from a battery or other source and the electromagnet comes to life. A magnetic field around the coiled wire magnetizes the metal as if it were a permanent magnet. The ability to turn the magnetic…

Based on the experience of designing, engineering, installing and servicing scrap shaker systems, we have found most failures of shaker systems have root causes in four key areas. 1. Uneven pan loads Basic physics suggests that uneven pan loads can stress shaker systems designed for more balanced loads. Operators should ensure that an equal number…
