Hotcleat - Magnetic Conveyor Belt

An overhead magnet has a drive and reversing drum including a frame. The frame then contains the magnetic core that attracts the material. Near the core, the material is attracted (this is where the forces are strongest). The moment the material reaches the drive or reverse roller using the Hotcleat® flights, the force of the magnetic core decreases to such an extent that, in combination with the belt speed and flights, the material is released. This is then discarded sideways. In this way, the metals are separated from the remaining material.

The conveyor belt made of highly abrasion-resistant rubber is fitted with carriers. To ensure that the metal parts are captured properly, our Hotcleat® carriers are hot vulcanised on the Probelt® base belt. It is often the case that too small drum diameters make great demands on a base belt, so not all belts are suitable for a top belt magnet. The right and unique composition of the base belts and technical know-how is important to deal with the often common small drum diameters. There is also a high belt speed which exerts an additional load on the weld, making correct welding techniques and monitoring of this crucial. In addition, our Hotcleat® cleats are made of unique compounds that ensure, for example, tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant cleats. This is also because these are often sharp and abrasive pieces of metal that can quickly damage the belt and cleats when configured incorrectly. The de-icing efficiency of top band magnets ranges from 70% to 90%. This varies depending on the magnet design, product flow and placement. It is a reliable and effective method of separating large quantities of iron. This method of separation prevents also machines from being damaged by larger metal parts.

The technical complexity of overhead magnets for mobile plants is well known to our specialists. We combine our knowledge and experience of applications in various industries from Recycling, Agro and Food. We like to think along with our customers, even if the solution is completely new.

Key Benedits (USP`s) Hotcleat® magnetic conveyor belts:

• No detached cleats 
  • due to poor bonding of cleats
  • due to weather / temperature & product influences
• Less sensitive to smaller pulley diameters
  Limited width cleatbase (vs glued) results in less tension at the pulleys and less power consumption
• Improved working life of the cleats
• Environmentally friendly
  
  • no use of industrial glues needed/neccesary
• Cost saving for end-user
