Plate Magnets
TYPICAL APPLICATION
| Below material flow: For maximum effeciency magnet is placed beneath rather than above because iron settles down due to force of gravity. | Where material is thin : Fix magnet at a location where material thins out so that magnet face will be in close proximity to iron. | Where material is slow moving : In chute, or spout, keep the magnet angle below 45 degree and keep the magnet near top of chute to permit optimum time for magnetic force to work. | If angle of flow is between 45 degree and 70 degree Multiple pole magnet is advised. | If angle is more than 70 degree or if the flow is vertical use Star Trace Hump. |
PLATE MAGNETS
FLUSH FACE
Flush Face Star Trace Plate Magnets deliver optimum tramp metal separation
performance when used in above-the-flow chute or belt application. When
installed over the material flow, the powerful Flush Face plate magnets
deliver continuous magnetic protection for down stream processing equipment
by lifting ferrous tramp out of the product flow stream.
EXPOSED POLE
Star Trace's Exposed Pole plate Magnets are engineered to deliver high
performance tramp metal separation in low volume applications. These applications
are for below-the flow installations where the product flows over the
magnet face.
Spout Magnets
Star Trace diverter Spout Magnets provide maximum ferrous tramp metal
separation in high volume chute applications where wash-off can be a problem.
Spot Magnets employ a primary diverter to prevent tramp metal "wash-off".
A secondary diverter reduces product degradation by ramping the product
over the downstream chute edge.
Self - Cleaning Spout Magnet
Star Trace's Self - Cleaning Spout Magnet provides ferrous tramp metal
removal, in chute applications, with remote cleaning. Air cylinders are
used to swing magnet and spout face away from chute. While the cylider
is moving the Self-Cleaning Spout Magnet, the spout face stops. separating
it from the magnet. Once the magnet is separated from the spout face the
collected tramp iron is discaded. Air cylinders return both magnet and
spout face back to operating position.
Rare Earth (Neodymium) Spout Magnet
Fine particle size separation is now available in a plate magnet. This
magnet is substantially stronger than conventional plate magnets. Located
in chutes, this rare earth ,magnet can capture weakly magnetic iron in
dry or wet product flows. This magnet features two liquid tight diverters
to prevent captured tramp iron wash-off. Manufactured in two different
strengths and in widths to match your chute.
Flat Conveyor Plate Magnet
Ideal for wide conveyors, this plate magnet can be manufactured to
match your conveyor width. Available in several thicknesses and strengths
to effectively remove tramp metal that has fallen on the conveyor. Located
prior to packaging machinery. this plate magnet is currently being used
for single layer products such as: cookies, crackers, chips, pretzels,
textiles, fiberglass, etc. This magnet measures 6-3/16" long, with
the product flow, by 1-5/16" thick. Manufactured in widths to match
your conveyor.
