Strip Magnet

At A Glance

Protection: Primary

Feed Type: Conveyor

Material Type: NdFeB

Cleaning Type: Manual

Rare Earth strip magnets are versatile and can be used in various processes. These units are usually installed above transfer conveyors and vibratory feeders to attract 'tramp' type contamination and any loose machinery that has fallen off during the manufacturing or packaging stages. The unit consists of two rows of magnetic material running the full length of the unit. These generate high intensity magnetic flux fields, which reach approximately 85mm from the units front face. Magnetism is only present on one face ensuring that no surrounding sensitive process machinery is affected. 'Tramp' contamination can be attracted from the conveyor surface even when trapped underneath the product e.g. biscuit etc.

The strip magnet is highly visible once installed and any attracted contamination can be easily seen. In most cases this contamination can be removed by hand. In high collection installations a simple scraper can be used. Working with the maintenance department, any attracted machinery parts can be quickly identified and corrective maintenance carried out.
