electromagnetic Cranes for Material Handling

These electromagnets are mounted on cranes and are designed to easily pick up and transport large quantities of scrap metal. When the Crane Electromagnet is activated, it creates a strong magnetic field that attracts and holds the ferrous materials, allowing them to be lifted and moved to desired locations within the scrap yard. This method of handling scrap metal is not only efficient but also improves safety by reducing the need for manual labour in potentially hazardous environments.

overhead crane Electromagnets Used in Scrap Yards

Electromagnets are widely used in scrap yards for sorting, moving, and handling ferrous metal materials. These devices are essentially large magnets that can be turned on and off by applying or removing an electric current. Electromagnets can be installed on various types of material handling equipment, including cranes, excavators, forklifts, and truck cranes, to enhance their efficiency and versatility when handling ferrous metal materials. These applications are particularly useful in industries such as scrap yards, recycling facilities, construction sites, and steel mills. The primary advantage of using electromagnets in scrap yards is their ability to handle heavy and bulky scrap materials efficiently, quickly, and safely.

Crane Electromagnets Working Principle

Electromagnets are a kind of principle that uses the electromagnetic principle to generate magnetic force by energizing the internal coil, and then passes through the magnetic conductive panel to tightly hold the workplace in contact with the surface of the panel, and then powers off the coil through the coil to realize the disappearance and demagnetization of the magnetic force and the principle of removing the workplace. through the wire, and greatly increase the ability to improve the waste. After power-on, the waste is stably transferred by Remote Control, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

Lifting Electromagnets Used in Scrap Yards

Here’s how electromagnets are used in scrap yards:

• Lifting and moving scrap metal: Electromagnets, often attached to cranes or other material handling equipment, are used to lift and move large volumes of ferrous scrap metal. When the electromagnet is energized, it generates a strong magnetic field that attracts ferrous materials. This allows for easy and efficient handling of heavy and irregularly shaped metal pieces, such as cars, machinery, and construction debris.
• Sorting and separating materials: Electromagnets are employed in scrap yards to sort and separate ferrous metals from non-ferrous materials. By using a magnet to attract ferrous materials, operators can separate valuable non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminium, copper, and brass) for further processing and recycling. This separation process helps maximize the value of the scrap metal and ensures proper recycling of various materials.
• Magnetic grapples: In addition to traditional lifting electromagnets, some scrap yards use magnetic grapples. These devices combine the gripping power of a mechanical grapple with the magnetic attraction of an electromagnet. Magnetic grapples are particularly useful for handling mixed materials, such as scrap metal mixed with wood or other debris, as they can selectively pick up ferrous metals while leaving non-magnetic materials behind.
• Clean-up operations: Electromagnets can also be used for cleaning up scrap yards, construction sites, and other areas with a high concentration of ferrous metal debris. By efficiently removing metal waste, electromagnets help maintain a safe and organized working environment.
• Shredding and processing: Electromagnets are sometimes employed in the processing stages of a scrap yard. After shredding and crushing scrap metal, electromagnets can be used to remove ferrous materials from the shredded mixture, ensuring a more efficient and effective recycling process.

Main Features of Lifting Electromagnets

Yuantai electromagnet is a device consisting of a soft iron core and windings or turns, and conductive wire produces a magnetic field by applying an electric current. The winding increases the size of the magnetic core thereby increasing the level of magnetic current flowing through the wire, and greatly increasing the ability to improve the waste. After power -on, the waste is stably transferred by remote control, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

• Using a fully sealed structure, good moisture resistance.
• Reasonable structure, lightweight, large suction, low energy consumption.
• Excitation coils are treated by a special process to improve the electrical and mechanical properties of the coils. The heat resistance grade of the insulation material is up to Class C, the overall insulation of the suction cups is H-class and the service life is long.
• The rated electrification continuation rate of ordinary electromagnets has been increased from the previous 50% to 60%, which has increased the use efficiency of electromagnets.
• The high-temperature type electromagnet adopts a unique heat insulation method. The temperature of the sucked object is increased from the previous 600°C to 700°C, which expands the adaptability of the electromagnet.
• Easy installation, operation and maintenance.
