Magnet Feeder

The introduction and use of vibratory feeders has been a large step forward for many industries, Their use results in faster processing times, less workforce, and the ability to transfer larger items with lower energy consumption. Magnet feeders process ASR scrap from electronic equipment for recycling operations and are composed of stainless steel to prevent the magnetization of the material leading to adhesion to the floor or walls of the feeder. BPS offers magnet feeders for bulk processing and recycling operations that can be customized to existing plant schematics of all sizes.

    Operational Efficiency

    Driven by a robust vibratory motor, the Between Magnet Feeder keeps materials in constant, evenly distributed motion. This consistent flow optimizes metal separation by preventing clumping or bridging. Simplified operator controls further streamline the process—making it easy to adjust feeding parameters on the fly without halting production.

    Safety and Compliance

  • Minimal Dust Generation: Vibratory action helps confine materials to the feeder deck, improving air quality in the work area.
  • Sturdy Construction: Made from heavy-duty materials that withstand impact, abrasion, and continuous operation.
  • Compliance-Ready: Aligns with typical industrial safety standards; optional guards or enclosures are available for extra operator protection.
  • Installation Tips

  • Evaluate Magnet Placement: Position magnets at optimal distances and angles to maximize metal capture.
  • Level and Secure Mounting: A stable foundation prevents unintended vibrations and ensures accurate flow control.
  • Check Clearances: Allow room around the feeder for maintenance access and potential future system upgrades.
  • Tune Vibration Settings: Start with recommended parameters, then fine-tune speed or amplitude based on material flow and metal recovery rates.
  • Regular Inspections: Monitor wear points—like the feeder deck and any contact areas—and promptly address any signs of damage.
  • Integration and Compatibility

    The Between Magnet Feeder fits seamlessly into various setups, including:

    • Recycling Lines: Place it between conveyor belts for mid-stream metal extraction.
    • Material Handling Systems: Incorporate with hoppers or discharge chutes to maintain continuous flow.
    • Metal Recovery Operations: Synchronize with additional metal detection or eddy current separation units for a comprehensive sorting process.

    Durability and Maintenance

    Crafted for rigorous use, the Between Magnet Feeder’s vibratory drive requires minimal upkeep. Routine checks of the feeder deck, magnets, and drive components help ensure extended service life. Cleaning is straightforward—particularly in systems with easily removable magnets—keeping your operation running smoothly with minimal downtime.

    Industries and Applications

  • Scrap Recycling: Recovers ferrous materials from shredded scrap before or after other sorting steps.
  • Mining Operations: Removes unwanted iron content for purer ore outputs.
  • Manufacturing & Processing: Ensures metal-free product streams, vital for food, chemical, or pharmaceutical lines.
  • Waste Management: Improves overall sorting efficiency by separating ferrous contaminants before landfill or further processing.

    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can this feeder handle both fine and coarse materials?
    Arrow
    Yes. The vibratory design manages a wide range of particle sizes, from powders to chunky scraps, ensuring an even distribution under the magnets.
    How do I optimize metal separation?
    Arrow
    Proper magnet placement and correct vibration settings are key. Adjust amplitude, frequency, and magnet distance based on your material’s size and density to maximize recovery rates.
    What routine maintenance is required?
    Arrow
    Regularly inspect the feeder deck for wear, check magnet surfaces for accumulated debris, and ensure that vibration components remain well-lubricated and free of obstructions.
    Absolutely. The Between Magnet Feeder integrates easily with other sorting machinery, such as eddy current separators or screening units, to form a comprehensive recycling or processing line.
