Lifting magnets for steel industry include scrap handling magnets as well as billet handling magnets. For scrap handling, we offer
aluminium coil electromagnets from 700 mm dia to 2000 mm dia. Aluminium coil magnets are lighter and cool down faster. They are also economical compared to copper coil magnets. Copper coil magnets can also be supplied. They can be customized as per the order. Some of the features are:
- We can offer cold as well as hot magnets.
- Completely sealed with thermal conductive compound and protected terminal box.
- Self-coiling spring operated cable reeling drum.
- Heavy duty control panel.
- Rectangular magnets for billet handling are available.
- Electromagnets can be used for hot billet handling. Generally two electromagnets with spreader beam are used for handling long billets.
For cold billet handling we can electro permanent magnets, which have following advantages:
- No battery back up required – load will not fall even if power fails.
- Power is used only at time of magnetising and demagnetising. Hence power consumption is negligible.
- Due to negligible power consumption, life of magnet is very long and spares requirement is minimal.
- Also magnets can be used continuously unlike electro magnets, which need OFF time to cool down.
