Installation and Suspension Height Configuration for Overband Separators

Operational efficiency of WAMAG ZP and EP overband magnetic separators depends on precise positioning above bulk material conveyors. Factory engineers determine optimal suspension clearance by calculating maximum burden depth and conveyor velocity.

When installed transverse to belt travel, the magnet block is positioned 150 to 450 mm above the belt to ensure unobstructed clearance for oversized materials. Heavy electromagnetic models featuring recirculating oil cooling are deployed for deep material burdens requiring uninterrupted operation.

Routine service entails tracking the cleated rubber discharge belt, inspecting drive reducers, and conducting insulation resistance testing on electromagnetic windings.

Calibration of Eccentric Rotor Speed and Splitter Position on Eddy Current Units

Commissioning WAMAG ECS and Locust eddy current separators requires synchronized adjustment of the eccentric neodymium rotor speed and downstream splitter blade geometry.

Operating at speeds up to 3000 RPM, the multi-pole rotor induces repulsive eddy currents within non-ferrous metals like aluminum and copper. Depending on material granulation, technicians calibrate trajectory curves and fix the non-metallic splitter wedge along graduated linear guides.

Preventive servicing focuses on monitoring outer drum shell temperature, inspecting the ceramic shell for abrasive wear, and checking multi-groove drive belt tension.

Angular Sector Adjustment for Bulk Material Drum Magnetic Separators

WAMAG MB and MBL drum separators achieve continuous ferrous extraction through the interaction of an internal stationary magnet segment and an external revolving stainless cylinder.

A primary operational adjustment involves tuning the angular orientation of the magnetic sector using an external indexing lever on the support journal. For fine dry powders, positioning the magnet pole 15 to 20 degrees forward of vertical prevents product entrapment and ensures clean discharge.

Scheduled maintenance includes checking radial gaps between feed trays and the revolving drum, inspecting bearing seals, and measuring stainless wear shell thickness.

Sanitary Maintenance Guidelines for Cleanflow Pipeline Magnetic Filters

Inline magnetic filters and Cleanflow traps by WAMAG operate across dairy, beverage, ceramic, and chemical processing facilities under strict EHEDG sanitary standards.

Housings are fabricated from AISI 316L stainless steel with electropolished internal fluid channels preventing bacterial accumulation. Scheduled maintenance involves withdrawing the high-intensity magnetic rods rated up to 12000 Gauss from their protective stainless guide sleeves.

As the magnets slide out, trapped ferrous particles drop into a purge compartment without manual scraping. Elastomeric seals must undergo periodic inspection and replacement to maintain pressure integrity.

Residual Magnetism Inspection and Tunnel Demagnetisation Protocols

WAMAG DT and DP demagnetisation tunnels neutralize residual fields in machined workpieces, bearings, and cutting tools following magnetic chuck grinding or testing. Parts travel through the coil opening at controlled conveyor velocities between 0.1 and 0.5 meters per second.

The decaying alternating electromagnetic field rearranges magnetic domains, reducing residual flux density below the 2 Gauss limit. Verification is conducted with calibrated hall-effect gaussmeters across three axes.

For heavy solid steel sections, dual frequency power supplies provide lower frequencies ensuring deep magnetic penetration.

Safety Inspection and Proof Testing for Magswitch Permanent Lifting Magnets

Safe operation of WAMAG Magswitch permanent lifting magnets across steel warehouses and fabrication bays follows EN 13155 European standards. Operators must inspect pole faces before handling, removing scale, grease, and debris.

Actuating the ergonomic operating lever shifts internal neodymium circuits into working position without external electrical connections, while a mechanical safety latch prevents accidental release.

Annual proof testing requires verifying breakaway holding force on a calibrated hydraulic test bench at three times rated capacity, alongside non-destructive testing of the suspension lifting lug.
