Coal-Based Power Plants
Equipments Used:
- Overband Magnetic Separators, Magnetic Pulleys, Plate Magnets
- Vibrating Feeders – for feeding coal to crushers and boilers
- Bin Vibrators – for maintaining flow from bunkers and silos
Areas of Use:
Coal conveyor systems, feeders, bunkers
Problems Solved:
Coal-fired power plants rely on steady fuel flow and machinery protection to maintain uninterrupted power generation. A significant challenge is the presence of **tramp iron** in coal, which can damage crushers, feeders, and boilers if not removed. Electro Flux offers **Overband Magnetic Separators**, **Magnetic Pulleys**, and **Plate Magnets** designed to remove iron particles from coal during transportation through conveyor systems. Positioned strategically at discharge and feeding points, these magnets provide real-time protection for high-value equipment.
Unplanned shutdowns due to equipment failure can be costly and disrupt entire power grids. Our magnetic separators prevent such failures by removing metallic debris before it enters critical systems, reducing maintenance costs and improving plant safety. **Magnetic Pulleys** offer continuous separation at belt ends, keeping processing systems clean and enhancing throughput. These technologies are especially valuable in large coal yards and bunker loading zones where contaminants are difficult to control manually.
By integrating Electro Flux magnetic systems, coal-based power plants benefit from reduced downtime, increased equipment life, and better combustion efficiency. These advantages ensure reliable energy production, improved safety, and lower total cost of ownership.
Additionally, Vibrating Feeders manage consistent coal delivery to crushers and boilers. Bin Vibrators prevent bunker clogging and support smooth fuel handling operations.
