Magnetic Head Pulley
Electro Flux Magnetic Head Pulleys are a versatile solution for removing tramp metal from conveyor belts. These pulleys are available in two varieties: electromagnets and permanent magnets.
Electromagnets
Electromagnets are powered by electricity and can be adjusted to provide the desired level of magnetic field strength. This makes them a good choice for applications where the amount of tramp metal varies or where the material being conveyed is particularly abrasive.
Permanent Magnets
Permanent magnets do not require electricity and are therefore a more cost-effective option for some applications. However, they cannot be adjusted to provide different levels of magnetic field strength.
How Magnetic Pulleys Work
A magnetic head pulley is utilized within a conveyor system to continuously extract ferrous impurities from bulk materials. At the discharge end, the magnetic pulley conveyor draws and holds iron particles while clean material freely flows on. The non-magnetic material follows the normal flow path, while impurities get attracted away, creating an uninterrupted process of separation.
Electro Flux has engineered magnetic conveyor pulleys with the use of high-strength permanent magnets offering symmetrical magnetic fields. The drum shell revolves around a fixed magnetic system, thus the process is energy-efficient and highly reliable. By replacing a standard head pulley with a permanent magnetic pulley, companies have constant and automatic separation without interrupting material flow.
Features
Both electromagnets and permanent magnets offer a number of features that make them effective at removing tramp metal, including:
- High-powered magnetic fields: The strong magnetic fields generated by these pulleys attract tramp metal from conveyor belts, even if it is small or embedded in other materials.
- Continuous operation: The pulleys operate continuously, removing tramp metal 24/7. This helps to protect downstream processing machinery from damage and ensures that products are free of contamination.
- Easy installation: The pulleys are easy to install and require no special tools or expertise.
- Low maintenance: The pulleys require very little maintenance, making them a cost-effective option in the long run.
Applications Across Industries
Magnetic pulley separator finds wide application in industries demanding high-purity raw material. Some of the prominent industries are:
Mining
Coal
Foundries
Benefits
Electro Flux Magnetic Head Pulleys offer a number of benefits, including:
- Improved safety: The pulleys help to protect downstream processing machinery from damage caused by tramp metal.
- Increased efficiency: The pulleys help to improve the efficiency of production processes by removing tramp metal from the conveyed materials.
- Cleaner products: The pulleys help to produce cleaner products by removing tramp metal.
- Reduced downtime: The pulleys are easy to maintain and can be quickly repaired if they do break down. This helps to reduce downtime and keep production running smoothly.
- Cost-effectiveness: The pulleys are a cost-effective solution for removing tramp metal from conveyor belts.
Advantages of Electro Flux Magnetic Head Pulleys
Electro Flux Equipments designs heavy-duty magnetic conveyor pulleys for long life and high efficiency. Key advantages are:
- Permanent and automatic separation of ferrous metal
- Low power usage and zero maintenance run
- Consistent magnetic field across the drum surface
- Heavy-duty stainless steel housing for corrosion resistance
- Dry and wet handling of material
- Simple integration with existing conveyor lines
These benefits ensure that firms are in a position to ensure product quality as well as equipment safety with fewer stoppages.
Customisation Options
Every industry demands variations, and that is why Electro Flux is able to offer tailored solutions. Our permanent magnetic pulleys can be manufactured in various sizes, diameters, and magnetic strengths to suit specific conveyor widths and applications. Customers are also permitted to choose between ferrite magnets of standard strength and high-strength rare earth magnets depending on the intensity of the separation required.
We also provide lagging, mounting arrangements, and shell material choices to provide that each magnetic pulley separator is compatible with the customer’s process line.
