Magnetic Conveyors Effectively Move Chips, Turnings, Small Parts and Stampings

Permanent Magnetic Chip and Parts Conveyors from Eriez® Manufacturing Company (Erie, PA) safely and reliably move and elevate ferrous materials such as chips, turnings, small parts and stampings. These units are practically maintenance free and innovatively designed to ensure the highest level of operator safety. Four frame sizes are available with four to five standard slider bed widths. For restricted areas under smaller machines, or where a relatively small volume of material is to be moved, the Model 6 – only 6¼ in (159 mm) deep – is ideal. For larger areas and greater volumes, the Model 9 conveyor – 9¼ in (235 mm) deep – is recommended. The Model 12 is 12¼ in (311 mm) deep and delivers the magnet power and large surface area to continuously remove large quantities of ferrous materials. Where exceptionally large quantities of chips are involved – up to 10 tons per hour – the 21¼ in (540 mm) deep Model 21 is the best choice.

The Tuf-Trac™ drive system is featured on conveyor Models 6, 9 and 12. The drive chain rides in an oil impregnated Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) track, designed to operate quietly and maximize conveyor life. Tuf-Trac eliminates the need for oil inside the conveyor housing. Besides an externally mounted drive motor, these chip and parts conveyors are self-contained with a conveyor mechanism that is completely enclosed. “With no moving external parts to jam, break or put personnel at risk for injury, our units were developed with safety and productivity in mind,” says John Mackowski, the metalworking product manager at Eriez. With a broad assortment of shapes, sizes and options, these chip and parts conveyors provide a system for virtually all application needs and requirements.
