Overview: Gauss Magneti specializes in the design and manufacture of magnetic ducts and sorting machines for the extraction and discharge of ferromagnetic intrusions from granular or dusty inert materials with low humidity. These products are applicable across various sectors including food, livestock, foundries, glassworks, chemicals, plastics, and wood.
Specifications: The magnetic sorting machines process materials ranging from 1 to 30 mm in size using permanent magnets made from neodymium, iron, and boron, or ferrite. The equipment is designed to handle high temperatures up to 300°C and features a very deep magnetic field.
Applications: The technology is used in the food sector for products like wheat, corn, and coffee; in the livestock sector for feed and animal meal; in foundries or glassworks for sands and fluxes; in the chemical-plastic sector for PVC granules and rubber; and in the wood sector for chips and sawdust.
Advantages: The high magnetic induction and coercive force make these magnets suitable for separating small materials, materials incorporated in inert substances, or slightly magnetic steel. The magnets are also resistant to high temperatures and have a deep magnetic field.
Process Description: Process material enters through a flange at a constant flow rate and is dropped onto a rotating non-magnetic casing. A metering valve controls the material layer thickness. The magnetic drum inside attracts ferromagnetic intrusions, which are then released into a rear discharge for collection. The purified material falls into the front discharge. All parts in contact with the material are made from AISI 304 stainless steel, with polarities typically in ceramic magnets, though neodymium magnets can be used for more powerful drums.
Certifications: Gauss Magneti offers ATEX 20, 21, and 22 certified versions for dusty and fire hazardous environments.
