HANDLING OF FERROUS MATERIALS

nnnn

GAUSS MAGNETI rectangular electromagnets for

nnnn

billets and slabs are designed according to the

nnnn

customer's requirements for in-plant handling. They

nnnn

are mainly used for the following applications:

nnnn

• Production unloading (hot material up to 600°C)

nnnn

• Loading and unloading of lorries, rail containers,

nnnn

ships.

nnnn

• Stocking in store or warehouse

nnnn

Due to their design these magnets are suitable to

nnnn

operate at high temperature. In fact the special

nnnn

thermal insulation and the double bottom plate

nnnn

hamper that the heat from the load reaches the coil

nnnn

assuring then the highest electromagnets reliability.

nnnn

The particular coil design and the very low current

nnnn

density allow handling of billets and slabs at

nnnn

temperature up to 600°C.

nnnn

Technical features:

nnnn

• Frame in deep welded high magnetic permeability

nnnn

steel plate

nnnn

• Coil in electrolytic aluminum or copper band

nnnn

designed for a very low current density and

nnnn

consequent good Joule heat dispersion.

nnnn

• C class insulation (220 °C)

nnnn

• Double bottom plate (only high-temperature

nnnn

magnets) in 12% manganese steel.

nnnn

• Thermal insulation (only high-temperature magnets)

nnnn

• Hanging by means of 2 or 4 branches chains in

nnnn

grade 8 steel,

nnnn

The magnets can be used individually or combined under a beam.

nnnn

The electromagnets are fed:

nnnn

• by the electric net through our electronic equipment with 4-quadrants digital converter allowing magnetic

nnnn

flux setting, counter-excitation for fast load release, coil temperature control by means of thresholds

nnnn

(important in high-temperature magnets), automatic switching to batteries, buffer batteries (Pb or Ni-Cd),

nnnn

automatic batteries loading system and continuous control of the batteries charge condition.

nnnn

Gauss Magneti has also successfully developed the electropermanent magnets technology.

nnnn

Electropermanent magnets hold their magnetization also in case of net failure or cable break, so they do

nnnn

not need buffer batteries or mechanical safety forks.
