BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is a type of plate magnetic separator designed to be suspended above a conveyor belt, head pulley or a chute to trap or lift and remove ferrous tramp metals from material products that are running on a conveyor belt during the production stream. This series of suspended industrial magnets has strong magnetic flux, which is ultimately high in efficient separation of ferrous debris and has a very simple installation method that is maintenance-free. BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is designed and manufactured with either Ferrite or Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets, or both combined depending on the strength reach target. The magnetized surface is made of Stainless Steel, designed to effectively remove tramp metal from for instance a conveyer belt, vibration conveyor, electric-vibrating feeder and feeder groove; thus in the aim of protecting the crusher from getting damaged. BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet can be custom-designed and manufactured depending on the feed material type, size, flow rate, concentration and feed depth – not to forget the flow passage dimensions, width and speed of the conveyor belt on which the product materials are running. For a simple and easy installation, the BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is supplied with deep mounting tapped holes in the back of the plate, in which four eye bolts are rigidly mounted grace to their threaded bolts. After which case the Plate Magnet is suspended above a conveyor belt or the head pulley, using cable or chain systems that are inserted in the eye bolts. The cleaning method is manual, at which instance the collected tramp metals are removed from the magnetized face of plate.

PRODUCTS

BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is used for variety of conveyors to adsorb ferromagnetic material from non-magnetic materials; and can be used in a countless number of industries, amongst which are – but not limited to food processing (such as Spices, Coffee, Cocoa, Milk Powder, etc.), tobacco, chemicals, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, foundry sand, cattle feed materials, minerals, detergents, pharmaceutical, chemicals, tobacco, plastic, wood processing, cement, recycling, mining.

BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet design depends on the feed material – the size of the conveyor belt in terms of its width and speed, as well as its feed depth; in which case it can easily be installed in an existing system.

In comparison to an electromagnet, Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is not only less expensive to purchase, but is also to operate, and maintain. To the bargain, it is corrosion and moisture resistant. However, it is essential to mention that the gauss strength of a Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet cannot eventually be re-adjusted, nor can it be demagnetized to facilitate the release of extracted tramp metal as an electromagnet operates. Nevertheless, its cleaning although manual is still simple and easy; grace to its installation technique which is to suspend the Permanent Plate Magnet with the aid of rigid chains, from a mobile strong steel frame such that it can still be moved away from the conveyor to be manually cleaned.

APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS

The BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet has a wide range of applications with energy saving and easy maintenance, in which case the failure rate is very low, as it is stable and very reliable to operate even in extremely harsh environment. The Plate Magnet is designed to be suspended over the conveyor belt, typically via a pulley system or a frame, with the magnet being positioned such way to create a magnetic field across the width of the conveyor belt.

The Permanent Plate Magnet is installed using sling chains, set in the opposite direction of the magnetized face of the plate, at angles convenient enough for optimum extraction of metal tramps from the running conveyor belt. All suspension magnets are fitted with a set of durable adjustable suspension chains that are attached to suspension lugs – such that the magnetized face of the Permanent Plate Magnet can either be inclined over the head pulley or in a direct horizontal configuration compare to the conveyor belt.

Thus, as the conveyor belt moves, the magnetic field attracts and lifts ferrous metals (e.g., iron, steel) out of the material stream – And the attracted metals are then carried by the magnetic field to the side of the conveyor belt, where they are discharged into a separate collection area. The non-magnetic materials continue however moving along the conveyor belt, in which stance they get separated from the ferrous metals. This mechanism ensures efficient separation of ferrous metals from non-magnetic materials as it not only reduces contamination and improves product purity; but also protects equipment from damage caused by metal debris.

The BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is designed and manufactured with magnetic strength of up to 10,000 Gauss, in the aim of providing a turnkey solution to concerned industries with reliable and effective means of ferrous tramp metal extraction.

 

Both the belt width and the conveyor speed can be customized to best suit customer’s need – as magnets inside are strategically assembled to optimize high performance in terms of filtration of products with designs to withstand the gravity-fed through conveyors and chutes, especially within the food processing and related industries, such to meet some customer’s particular requirements.

The BJ Magnets’ Suspended Permanent Plate Magnet is very efficient in ferrous metal separation, in which case it reduces contamination and improves product purity when it’s positioned over the conveyor belt, to which ferrous metals are attracted and lifted out of the material stream.  Moreso, not only other equipment get protected from metal damage, but it also has low maintenance (no electricity required).

And to the bargain, the magnetic field strength can be designed to reach up to 10,000 Gauss, with a belt width of up to 2,5 meters of which the conveyor speed can be adapted up to 5.08 m/s. With the material handling capacity of up to 1000 tph, the temperature can range between -20°C to 200°C.

 

 


Direct Overhead Advantage

The advantage of installing the BJ Magnets’ Suspended Plate Magnet over a conveyor belt is that, not only it comes with less structural requirements, its accessibility is also eased as the installation is straight forward.
