Self-Unloading Separators

DEMZ® PS Series Suspended Self-Unloading Separators

Self-unloading separators — suspended self-unloading separators are designed to extract and automatically remove ferromagnetic impurities and items from bulk materials. They are installed over conveyor discharge pulleys (preferred installation method) or suspended directly over the conveyor belt. Extracted ferromagnetic objects are discharged beyond the main conveyor into a receiving hopper by an integrated cross-belt conveyor. The separator design achieves a high extraction depth without an increase in power consumption due to an original distribution of magnetic flux. The core magnetic system features plate-type DC electromagnets (PSh type) and permanent magnets (P type, magnetic system material: Nd-Fe-B, (BH) max > 320 kJ/m3).

* Depends on the magnetic properties, shape, dimensions, and movement speed of the extracted inclusion. Recommended for installation over conveyor belts operating at speeds up to 2 m/s. The extraction zone depth and mass of extracted inclusions are calculated based on transporting dry fine-grained bulk material containing dense ferromagnetic inclusions and standard conveyor belt operating speeds. Separator designs are subject to continuous improvement; therefore, technical parameters may differ from the values specified in the table. Table data are specified for a cylinder Ø20 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The lifting capacity of an electromagnet is the maximum load weight permitted to be lifted and moved by the magnet. It typically equals 0.5 of the breakaway (tear-off) force, providing a safety factor for secure operation.

The lifting capacity depends on the magnitude of the magnetic flux in the core. The flux increases as the magnetomotive force increases and as the magnetic reluctance of the circuit decreases.

Copper coils cost twice as much as aluminum ones; copper has 1.7 times higher conductivity than aluminum; copper density is 3.3 times higher than aluminum; copper’s specific heat capacity is 3 times lower than aluminum’s; copper coils offer more repair cycles and a longer service life than aluminum.

Welded steel housings are simple and cost-effective to produce. The advantages of a cast magnetic core over a welded one include cooling fins, greater operational durability, solid structural integrity, and the complete absence of internal air gaps.

Overheating, lower density of scrap metal, switching to metal stock with larger air gaps, and malfunctions in the control cabinet (voltage converter).

Improper operation (faulty control cabinet, overheating, moisture exposure, overvoltage), coil-to-housing breakdown (ground fault), open-circuit/broken conductors, and inter-turn short circuits within the coil.

General-purpose, underwater, heat-resistant.
