PLATE MAGNETS (brochure.pdf)
                             
Permanent plate magnets can be easily incorporated into existing installations and cater for the removal of metal particles from diverse raw materials (for example, food products, plastics, chemicals, wood, stone and ceramic materials). Plate magnets protect processing equipment in a reliable and economic manner, which prevents production processes coming to a standstill.

PLATE MAGNETS SUSPENDED OVER THE PRODUCT

In such a situation it is important to let the magnetic field lines penetrate the product as deeply as possible, thereby increasing the chances of capturing a metal particle. In order to achieve this, Goudsmit attaches an extra magnet between the magnetic poles. This extra magnet pushes the magnetic flux deeper into the product. We call this flux control. Hereby, with the same size, approximately 20% more capture power is achieved.

PLATE MAGNET ATTACHED UNDER THE PRODUCT

If the product flows over the magnet, the removal of metal particles is easy. During the design phase, we do not pay attention to the depth penetration but to a magnetic field on the poles that is as powerful as possible. As a result even stainless steel particles can be captured. A wedge stops the now-captured metal particles being dragged along, and they are left behind it.

PLATE MAGNET IN A PNEUMATIC TRANSPORT PIPE

In a pneumatic transport pipe the product moves at a great speed. That is why it is necessary to place a Neoflux® magnet in it. The products touch the magnet and the powerful magnetic system firmly holds the metal.

CHOICE BETWEEN FERROXDURE OR NEOFLUX® PLATE MAGNETS

All plate magnets can be equipped with Ferroxdure or Neoflux® magnets. The differences are listed below:

FERROXDURE

• Cheaper (in reality, depending on the position of the magnet)
• Have good penetration (up to max. 400 mm) and can be employed up to approximately 250^o.
• Application: in the recycling or cattle-feed industry, for the protection of mills
• Value at magnetic poles; 2800 Gauss
• Not suitable for capturing stainless steels particles

NEOFLUX® PLATE MAGNETS

• As a result they can be constructed in a light and compact manner
• Standard model can be employed up to 80^o. Special model to 220^o
• Model is completely of stainless steel and is completely waterproof (IP67)
• Especially suitable for the food industry
• Are approximately four times as powerful, but more sensitive to temperature than Ferroxdure magnets
