Inline Magnetic Separators for Slurry and Pneumatic Lines: Real Process Integration Examples

Image
In many industries, the materials are transported through the pipeline in slurry form or through pneumatic conveying. During the handling or transportation of the materials, sometimes small metal pieces may get mixed into the system, thereby damaging the equipment. To mitigate this kind of risk, different industries use magnetic separation systems in their processing lines. One of these is an inline magnetic separator , which is placed within the pipeline. The materials pass through it, allowing magnetic particles to be filtered out as the rest of the materials continue moving. Inline Magnetic Separation in Continuous Flow Systems In the case of slurry pipelines and pneumatic conveying lines, the material is commonly transported in closed tubes at a constant rate. Even small pieces of metal can, over time, cause damage to the pumps and other equipment. However, the use of an inline magnetic separator can help remove the metal pieces without causing disruptions to the production. The s...

Lifting Magnets for Steel Plate Handling: Real Load Capacity, Safety Limits and Daily Operating Practice

Image
Steel plate handling is a simple task until the weight, balance, and surface begin to influence the lifting performance. In many workshops and yards, the magnetic lifting system is used to handle steel plates efficiently, eliminating chains and clamps from the lifting process. The performance of the lifting operation is based on the understanding of the loads, the safety limits, and daily practices. Operational mistakes can create serious safety hazards. In heavy fabrication units, lifting magnets are used to lift steel plates from the storage rack and place them on the cutting tables and the loading areas. However, the actual lifting capacity of the lifting magnets is determined by the thickness, the condition of the surface, and the contact between the magnet and the steel plate. Knowledge of this ensures that the machines are used in the right way and accidents are prevented on a daily basis. Real Load Capacity of Lifting Magnets The actual load capacity is usually not the same as ...
