MSI - Suspended Electromagnets for Conveyor Systems
MSI's suspended electromagnets are engineered for settings that require a stronger magnetic field due to factors like suspension height, belt speed, or specific customer needs. These magnets are integral for protecting downstream equipment in conveyor systems, including crushers, bark hogs, and conveyor belts. Each electromagnet features oil-filled construction, advanced anodized aluminum coils, expansion tanks, and solid core construction for optimal durability and performance. Only premium-grade components such as bearings, motors, and reducers are used to ensure minimal downtime and extended service life. Available in manual clean and self-cleaning varieties, these electromagnets can be mounted cross-belt or in-line with conveyor belts. For those opting for self-cleaning units, MSI offers a variety of belting and drive system options. The power supplies, designed for global compatibility, come with multiple cabinet and voltage input choices. MSI provides free testing of customer samples and custom solutions for non-standard applications. Notably, the anodized aluminum coils come with a 10-year warranty against burnout.
MSI’s electromagnets are used in applications where a stronger magnetic field is required due to suspension height, belt speed, or customer preference. These magnets are especially popular for protection of downstream equipment in conveyor systems, including crushers, bark hogs, and even the conveyor belts themselves.
All of our suspended electromagnets are oil-filled and utilize state-of-the-art anodized aluminum coils, expansion tanks, and solid core construction for maximum performance and longevity. MSI uses only top-of-the-line components (bearings, motors, reducers) to improve service with minimal down-time.
Our electromagnets are available in both manual clean and self-cleaning designs, and can be mounted cross-belt or in-line with the conveyor belts they protect. As with our permanent magnets, we offer a range of belting and drive system options for our self-cleaning units.
In the majority of applications, customers choose to take advantage of MSI’s robust power supplies. These, too, are available in a number of options, including various cabinets (Nema 4 standard) and voltage inputs for our customers around the world.
As with all of our products, MSI offers FREE TESTING of customer samples and provides custom solutions for applications which do not fit into our standard offerings.
Manual Clean
Suspended electromagnets are easily cleaned by placing a drop cloth or tarp under the magnet and turning the magnet off.
Self-cleaning
To increase magnet effectiveness, suspended self-cleaning magnets are used for high tramp metal volume to prevent ferrous build-up on the magnet face. These magnets are available with a number of options for the drive, belt, and even tramp discharge.
