nnnnHANDLING OF FERROUS MATERIALS
nnnnGAUSS MAGNETI designs and manufactures special
nnnndeep field electromagnets for handling of 6 to 24
nnnnmeters long ferrous bundles and packs. In design the
nnnnmagnet and beam weights are carefully calculated in
nnnnorder to use at best the lifting device capacity.
nnnnThey are mainly used for the following applications:
nnnn• Unloading of wire rod, rolled, drawn and profiled
nnnnparts, pipes (also hot materials)
nnnn• Loading and unloading of lorries, rail containers,
nnnnships.
nnnn• Stocking in stores or warehouses
nnnnThe use of electromagnets makes the handling
nnnnof these long materials more rational, with low
nnnnrequirement of personnel and greater safety, as the
nnnnoperators no longer have to approach the load neither
nnnnto climb on it. No spacer between the bundles or the
nnnnsingle product is any longer needed with consequent
nnnnbetter exploitation of the available stock space.
nnnnThe electromagnets are hung under a beam
nnnnby means of chains allowing them to fit on the
nnnnbundles irregularities. Depending on the need, the
nnnnelectromagnets are designed with more active
nnnnpolarities and then higher safety degree.
nnnnMain technical features of our deep fields
nnnnelectromagnets are:
nnnn• Magnetic circuit in deep welded high magnetic
nnnnpermeability steel plate
nnnn• Outside frame in % manganese steel.
nnnn• Coil in electrolytic aluminum or copper band designed for a very low current density and consequent
nnnngood Joule heat dispersion.
nnnn• C class insulation (220 °C)
nnnn• Double bottom plate (only high-temperature magnets) in 12% manganese steel.
nnnn• Thermal insulation (only high-temperature magnets)
nnnn• Hanging by means of 4 branches chains in grade 8 steel,
nnnnThe magnets are arranged under a fixed or an extensible beam allowing the magnets distance to be
nnnnadjusted according to the bundles dimensions.
nnnnAs handling with a single hook would be particularly difficult requiring also the presence of a second
nnnnoperator on ground, it is advisable to handle these loads with a 2 hooks crane, granting the load to lay
nnnnhorizontally and hampering also possible oscillations.
