Mount the unit at an angle over the material discharge
point, or parallel to and above the conveyer line. There is no need
to modify the existing conveyer installation.
The best position for the Magnet is at an angle over
the conveyer head pulley, or at the discharge point of the feeder. Here
the materials are loosening up and fanning out, thus the tramp iron
literally leapes out and on the magnet face.In this position the magnet
will more iron from deeper burdens from belts traveling at faster speeds.
From the cost point of view, this installation provides the best tramp
iron removal and at economical investment. They are an ideal choice
where the contaminant iron content is low
The installations are made with the Magnet suspended
parallel to and over the conveyer, where it is not feasible to locate
the magnet at an angle over the discharging pulley. In this cases as
the tramp iron must be pulled through a fairly sizable bed of material,
it is usually necessary to install a larger and stronger Magnet. In
either installation, discharge of accumulated tramp iron from the Magnet
is fast and easy. Operator has to just move the magnet away from the
conveyer, and turn off the current. The tramp iron will be dropped.
