Eriez Suspended Electromagnets

The Suspended Electromagnet provides tramp metal collection from conveyed materials. The electromagnet is typically mounted or suspended over a conveyor belt to remove large pieces of tramp metal that represent a hazard to downstream crushers, mills, pulverizers and grinders. Suspended electromagnets also remove sharp metal that can damage or tear expensive conveyor belts, especially at transfer points. Product purity is enhanced with the separation power of the suspended electromagnet.

Eriez Magnetic Humps and Round Pipe Separators

Eriez’ Magnetic Hump and Round Pipe Separators provide a simple and effective way to remove tramp iron contamination from gravity or pneumatically conveyed dry, free flowing products such as feed, grain, wood ships, food stuffs, sand or plastic.

The housing is “dog-legged” on two sides at 45 degrees from a flat plane. Each leg contains a plate magnet hinged and latched to the housing, one on the up stream side and one on the downstream side.

Material enters the magnetic Hump and is forced abruptly to change direction against the face of the powerful plate magnet. As the material tumbles in the housing, it again changes direction and is forced against the face of the second powerful plate magnet. The Hump takes advantage of the ferrous material density because the heavier metallics are more likely to work their way to the face of the magnet, increasing the probability of capture.

The ferrous contamination remains on the face of the magnets until an operator swings the magnet out of the product flow and physically removes the metal.

Features & Benefits:

• Quick release clamps for easy operation and maintenance
• Minimized overall height for difficult retrofit installations
• All welded construction
• Mild or stainless steel construction
• Available for gravity, horizontal or vertical pneumatic installations

Eriez Grate Magnets

Powerful, permanent magnetic protection against fine and tramp iron contamination. Designed for simple installation in steep-sloped hoppers, odd and irregular shaped hoppers, floor openings, vertical closed chutes, and ducts.

Standard Grate Magnets

For many years Eriez permanent magnet grates have used ceramic or Alnico magnet materials as their energy source. When built with Eriez–designed circuits, these separators provide good magnetic fields for a nominal cost and satisfactorily remove both tramp and fine iron contaminants in most applications. They continue to be the magnets most frequently used to improve the product purity of dry bulk materials.

Xtreme® Rare Earth Grate Magnets

The Xtreme® RE separators available from Eriez remove weakly magnetic or very fine iron contaminants. They have more strength at a greater distance than conventional permanent magnets, higher gradients, and increased holding force. This means they can reach out and attract weakly magnetic or very fine iron contaminants and hold them so tightly that wipe-off by product flow is virtually eliminated.

Sanitary Grate Magnets

Both standard and Xtreme® grate magnets are available in sanitary construction. These units are stainless steel throughout and are carefully manufactured to contain no pits, cracks or crevices in accordance with accepted standards of sanitation for food processing.

Wet Drums for Heavy Media Duty

Wet drums in heavy media applications provide continuous recovery of magnetite or ferrosilicon. Eriez has set the industry standards in the heavy media industry developing both the design criteria of the magnetic circuit and the benchmark of operation. The 750 gauss Interpole magnetic element, developed by Eriez, is the most acclaimed magnet of engineering standards in the industry. Eriez has also set the benchmark for wet drum performance. The culmination of various in–plant tests has demonstrated that the separators will achieve magnetite recoveries in the 99.9+ percent. (This is based on magnetite losses of less than 1 gram/gallon of non–magnetic effluent).

Two basic tank styles are offered. The drum rotates in the same direction as the slurry flow in the concurrent tank style. The slurry enters the feedbox and is channeled underneath the submerged drum. The slurry then flows into the magnetic field generated by the drum. The magnetite is attracted by the magnetic field, collected on the drum surface, and rotated out of the slurry flow. This tank style results in a very clean magnetic product.

The counter–rotation tank style is preferred for heavy media applications. The drum rotates against the slurry flow in the counter–rotation tank style. The slurry enters the feedbox and flows directly into the magnetic field generated by the drum. The magnetite is attracted by the magnetic field, collected on the drum surface, and rotated out of the slurry flow. Any magnetite that is not immediately collected will pass through to a magnetic scavenging zone. The short path that the magnetic material must be conveyed between the feed entry point and the magnetics discharge lip, combined with the magnetic scavenging zone, results in high magnetite recoveries.
