Applications

Suspension Magnets can be used in a wide variety of applications for the removal of occasional tramp iron.

Typical Examples of applications are;

• Removal of ferrous in mining operations
• Separation of ferrous contamination in quarries
• Magnetic extraction of ferrous particles in wood processing.

Models

Master Magnets can supply Suspension Magnets to operate over 450mm - 2000mm conveyor belt width. If the belt width is below 450mm Magnets would recommend a Plate Magnet as a more economical solution.

Electro and Permanent suspension magnets are available. These consist of a tri-polar design with core, poles and backbar in high permeability mild steel. The tri-polar design has some significant advantages.

• Prevents magnetic leakage
• Produces a cleaner frame
• Achieves a slightly better extraction

The electro suspension magnet can be either air or oil cooled. An oil cooled magnet is fitted with conservator tank to ensure that the coil is always oil immersed. The magnet is also complete with breather and sight glass.

Optional Extras

Suspension magnets can be accompanied by optional extras such as heavy duty mild steel suspension lugs. The lugs are welded to the magnet to provide correct angle positioning for the customers conveyor.

Sling chains are another optional extra. The sling chains are made from high tensile steel and fitted with adjustable turnbuckles for final on-site adjustments.

Finally, a geared trolley can be provided which allows the magnet to be moved aside of the conveyor for the manual removal of ferrous materials.
