Walker Magnetics has extensive experience designing magnetic sweepers, demagnetization devices and magnetic brakes. We work with customers anywhere from food processing to railroads and the government. Walker’s magnetic material handling technology extends beyond traditional industries. We offer equipment that will provide years of fast, reliable service which allows mining operations to work at peak efficiency. Walker Magnetics designs and builds a range of magnetic separators that will clean magnetic material from many types of mining discharge. MiningĪdvanced separation equipment is critical to mining operations around the world. We love to be challenged by our customer’s requirements, and we have the know-how to deliver. Customers rely on our magnetic workholding chucks to finish their work to the highest precision possible. Our designs range from simple rectangular chucks to the largest and most intricate rotary chucks. Walker Magnetics invented the first magnetic chuck over 120 years ago, and we remain the #1 brand for ultra-precise magnetic grinding and milling chucks. Precision machining has become essential in modern manufacturing. Walker’s scrap magnets are designed to be tougher than the rest, with many standard sizes available for immediate shipment. This means running equipment that is tough and reliable, with fast turnaround of new magnets, and those magnets must endure the rigors of scrap handling, with minimal downtime. Today’s scrap and recycling handlers are under a lot of pressure to keep costs down.
Steel is the premier type of recyclable material.
#INDUSTRIAL MAGNET HOW TO#
We know how to listen to the specific needs of your operation and deliver a system that handles your material with reliable speed for many years. Walker custom-engineers magnets capable of lifting steel product in a wide variety of shapes, from complex tubes to large flat sheets. Steel Distributionĭistribution of bulk steel materials presents a handling challenge that requires careful attention to detail. We can custom-engineer a solution for any steel-production application. Our magnets have proven to be the most robust and dependable magnets in steel mills around the world. The complicated and demanding environment in which these magnets operate demand critical engineering know-how to safely and efficiently move material from the start of the process through delivery. Walker’s industrial lifting magnets are an essential tool throughout the steel manufacturing process.
#INDUSTRIAL MAGNET SERIES#
CE Series Electromagnetic Lifting Magnets.Should the safety label(s) be damaged, dislodged or removed, contact Eriez for replacement. Exposure to the magnetic field may result in malfunction or permanent damage to such items.Ī safety label must be affixed to every Eriez product. Credit Cards and Electronic Devices: Keep electronic devices, credit cards, computer disks, and other magnetic storage devices away from magnets.Employees should contact their physician and the device manufacturer to determine a safe distance between the worker and the magnet. Medical Devices: Some medical devices (such as pacemakers) can be adversely affected by strong magnetic fields.Although the magnetic field will pass through these non-ferrous (non-magnetic) materials, they will decrease the holding strength by creating barriers between the magnet and the carbon steel. Wood, plastic or other non-ferrous containers can be used to create barriers around the magnet for safe transportation or storage. Transportation and Storage: Before transporting a magnet, pre-inspect the route for any potential carbon steel dangers.By doing so, you will limit the danger to the person handling the magnets. Pr oper Magnet Handling: Assure that no two magnets come in close proximity to one another when handling, and prevent magnets from coming in close proximity to carbon steel or other ferrous (magnetic) metals.This is accomplished by providing “strong magnet” warnings/labels on the magnets themselves and also in the area that the magnets are installed. Awareness: Make sure employees are aware that there are strong, potentially dangerous magnets in a given area of the plant.If not handled properly, injuries have ranged from the minor pinched finger to the more serious crushed hand or the loss of extremities.įor these reasons, plant managers are putting more emphasis on Magnet Safety Training for the protection of their workers. If handled properly, they are a safe, efficient way of removing unwanted ferrous contamination from a valuable product. Industrial strength Magnetic Separators play a very important role in manufacturing facilities across the world.
