High performance electromagnetic and permanent magnet drums

Drum magnets are robust and highly durable, offering a long service life. Their proven design and strong magnetic fields enable the precise sorting of fine, medium and coarse materials. Available as electromagnetic and permanent magnet drums, they come as axial pole or radial pole models. A magnetic drum with a radial pole system removes iron particles from bulk material. The electromagnet drum features several axial poles, and the drum is suspended above the material feed unit. A permanent magnet drum uses neodymium-iron-boron magnets to generate a uniformly strong magnetic field over the entire working width.

Powerful magnetic fields for efficient separation

The constant magnetic field pattern in electromagnetic drums changes in the direction of rotation. Scrap is removed by reversal of the polarity. To ensure the reliable separation of small pieces of scrap metal, the first pole generates a strong field. The other poles hold the material on the drum housing. The scrap can be cleaned and guided to the discharge unit by reversing the poles. Semi-circular cast steel bodies with ANOFOL field coils made from anodised aluminium generate powerful holding forces. Easy optimisation can be achieved using the magnetic application point, which allows for adjustability of the magnet system.
