Inline Magnetic Separator - Inclination

Posted in: , on 5. Mar. 2009 - 10:33

We are having problems in erecting a inline magnetic separator in a 800mm belt wisth conveyor above the head pulley.

a. Degree of Inclination angle of the inline magnetic separator at the discharge(head) pulley, By installing it at an inclination, whether any advantages?

b. Distance between center of magnet to center of pulley.

Whether centre of pulley shall always coincide with centre of magnet? Or shall I have to keep in offset.

Surely your magnet supplier should be specifying this??

In the position shown your diffusion cleats seem to be dangerously close to the belt.

How come the magnet drums are bigger than the conveyor drum?

At 2.8m/s your tramp iron chute is going to interfere with the discharge trajectory.

The item seems rather large for an 800mm belt, OVER THE TOP, which intimates that a used tramp iron magnet has been aquired, hence exit the magnet supplier.

We manufacturer inline magnetic seperators in two configurations: Flanged type Inlet and outlet connections are provided.

It Pays To Adver...

Unless..

A nice bit of cheap advertising.However, if you read the thread you will see that your compatriot has already had a, probably used, magnet for over 3.5years. So it is definitely used by now.

Hello Shyam Prasad,

Firstly the subject issue is contractual in nature. So, follow the instructions from the magnetic supplier for doing needful. The solution could be something like this:

1) Plot the trajectory of the material at pulley discharge. This will be in one of the two versions i.e. A) High speed conveyor where material gets discharged immediately entering on pulley. B) Conveyor is not of higher speed and material travels for some angle on pulley periphery, prior to its release.

2) Place the magnetic separator bottom face approximately parallel to the chord of trajectory curve. Chord length will be approximately some proportion of bottom face dimension along curve.

3) The magnet will be somewhat closer to trajectory at approach and will be getting adequately away from trajectory at the exit end, so that the removed tramp iron is clear of material path, and can be dropped into tramp iron chute.

4) Above are primary considerations to start with and then adjust / refine the positioning of magnetic separator so that tramp iron gets subjected to maximum influence of magnetic flux (intensity and time), for efficient removal. Its placement is an engineering art and cannot be described in simple manner.

5) The magnetic separator support should have provision (bolt-nut or turnbuckle, etc.) to shift (adjust) the magnetic separator horizontally, vertically and also to choose inclination.
