In many industries, raw materials go through various stages of processing, such as conveying, crushing, screening, and sorting, before they are processed for the final stage of production. During transportation, small metal fragments may be mixed with the raw material. The fragments may come from worn-out parts of machines, rivets, or scrap metal, among other…
The recycling of scrap metals has become a vital part of the modern metal industry. The steel factories, foundries, and manufacturing industries rely on recycled metals as a source of raw materials. Every day, a large quantity of discarded machines, structural steel, vehicle parts, and industrial waste is available in the scrap yards. They are…
In heavy industries, the safe transfer of large pieces of metal is a daily activity. Industries such as steel plants, fabrication yards, ports, and scrap yards require efficient systems to lift steel plates, billets, and mixed scrap materials. Hooks and chains are used to lift these materials. However, in situations where lifting is to be…
Industrial processing plants deal with raw materials that are not always clean. Whether mining, crushing, grinding, conveying, or recycling, there is always a possibility that small metal pieces enter the material stream. This could be due to worn-out equipment, damaged equipment parts, conveyors, and mixed scrap. Unless these metal pieces are removed at the appropriate…
Metal contamination in bulk material handling is one issue that different industries have to deal with, although this may not be immediately apparent. For example, a piece of iron mixed in raw material could lead to machine damage or higher repair costs. For certain industries that require high product purity, such as the food or…
Industrial bulk-handling systems work under constant pressure. They are required to move heavy volumes every hour while keeping the material clean. Conveyor-mounted magnetic systems are a key part of this process because they remove stray metal before it causes breakdowns or contaminates finished output. Today’s customers are presented with many options, varying magnet strengths, cooling…
Industrial production lines will only function as efficiently as the systems that control the flow of material from storage through processing and packaging. Whether the facilities are processing minerals, aggregates, food ingredients, etc, unstable material flow will lead to bottlenecks, uneven machine utilisation, and early equipment degradation. Plant operators are being challenged to improve productivity…
