.jpg) | Permanent Magnetic Sheet Fanners Our standard permanent and electromagnetic Sheet Fanners and Separators are designed to separate steel sheet stock. As sheets are placed against the sheet fanner, the powerful magnetic field automatically forces the sheets apart and separates them from one another. Manually prying apart sticky, oily sheets is no longer necessary and die damaging double blanking problems are eliminated. The flexible mounting design gives you more options to match your application needs. Use the handle and base plate for portable applications or use the tapped holes to bolt the fanner to your equipment or tooling. Note: Choose a fanner with a height 2-3 inches taller than your maximum stack height. Typical Magnetic Sheet Separator Installations: For best results, locate the magnetic fanner at the corner(s) of large sheets and in the center of the width of length on smaller sheets. Fanners placed opposite each other on small sheets will actually float the sheet. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=64 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Drum Separator IMI's Magnetic Drum Separators provide ferrous metal removal from dry, bulk products in free-flowing processing systems. Due to the nature of their design, magnetic drum separators are continuously self-cleaning units, and can be provided as the drum only or as a complete assembly with the housing and drive included. Material to be processed enters the top of the magnetic drum separator and flows across the surface of the drum. As the drum shell rotates around the stationary magnetic field, all non-ferrous product, which is unaffected by the magnet, falls free from the drum into the cleaned material flow. Any ferrous tramp metal is captured by the magnetic field and held on the drum's surface. As the drum rotates, the metal is carried past the diverter and released outside of the magnetic field. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=81 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Extractor & Split-Flow Magnet The Extractor Magnets are designed for ferrous metal separation in high volume dry processing applications. These continuous operation, high performance separators feature powerful parallel permanent magnets to capture ferrous tramp metal from direct material flow. As material enters through the Extractor's inlet, it passes over a diverter which angles the product flow towards the magnets. Ferrous metal that is mixed in with the product flow is then captured and held by the powerful magnetic field. Standard models are equipped with a EZ-clean stripper drawer to easily remove collected metal from the housing. Also available is an air-actuated self cleaning unit for automated or remote cleaning. The Split-Flow Magnet provides excellent separation for free-falling or choke flows in vertical chute applications. As a product enters the Split Flow magnetic housing, a center wedge magnet splits the flow and diverts the streams towards two extra high intensity parallel magnets. These three magnetic contact points offer excellent attraction and holding power. The housing is constructed of all welded stainless steel for a long, noncorrosive life and is available in both EZ-Clean and Self-Cleaning models. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=84 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Hump Magnet Ideal for ferrous tramp metal separation in gravity systems, IMI Hump Magnet separators are adaptable to either round pipe or rectangular chute transfer lines. The Hump magnet employs two heavy duty diverter-equipped Spout Magnets, which are positioned so that the offset flow of product flowing through the hump is forced into the magnetic fields. The hinged magnets are gasketed and clamped tightly to the hump housing for maximum product and dust containment during processing operations. They also swing open for easy removal of captured tramp metal. Ruggedly constructed from stainless steel with a welded flange mounting system to fit either chute or pipe applications, IMI Hump separators are available in nine standard sizes with Custom sizes available upon request.

.jpg) | Electromagnetic Sheet Fanners Electromagnetic Sheet Fanners eliminate die-damaging, double-blanking problems in automated sheet handling operations. A powerful electromagnetic field automatically separates the sheets. As fast as the top sheet is removed, the next sheet instantly moves up. The on/off capability of the Electromagnetic Sheet Fanners provide operator safety during steel blank stacking and un-banding. This on/off control makes cleaning around magnets easier when sheets are not fanned. For automated presses, the electromagnetic fanners are controlled to operate simultaneously with other destacking equipment. Electromagnetic Sheet Fanners require conversion from AC to DC voltage. IMI power supplies are designed to properly convert voltage and provide for operation of single or multiple fanners. IMI power supplies (see Tech Sheet AG-09A) can be equipped with a variable output to adjust the magnetic strength to handle a variety of metal thicknesses.

.jpg) | Magnetic PinFanners™ Our Magnetic PinFanners™ are designed to separate stacks of steel sheets or blanks on "Hex", "Round" or "T-Slot" pallets. These fanners have dual functionality; they act as guides for aligning parts as they come off the blanking press and also as magnetic sheet fanners that fan or separate multiple sized or shaped blanks for the manual or automatic loading of a press. Multiple magnet positions ensure direct contact with the blank for maximum fanning ability, and since they are mounted directly to the pallet, there's less down time and maintenance on the line.
Note: PinFanners™ must be used in pairs. Each part number below includes 2 pin fanners, one of each polarity (North & South pole). Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=66 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Magnetic SheetSeeker® IMI's new lightweight SheetSeeker® fanner is a breakthrough in magnetic sheet separation technology! First, the permanent magnetic circuit is lifted and locked into place for introduction to a stack of steel sheets. Then, once the materials are in place, the sliding magnet is unlocked and automatically centers on the top of the stack and fans the sheet stock. As each sheet is lifted off the stack, the magnet indexes down automatically and will fan to the bottom of the stack. Features & Benefits
Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=67 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Air Cylinder Sheet Fanners Air Actuated Sheet Fanners have an air release system that pulls the magnet inside back away from the face of the fanner, This allows you to easily and safely remove the fanner from the stack.
Permanent Magnetic Fanners handle steel sheets of almost any length, width or shape. The sheets near the top of the stack seperate instantly from a 3/4" to 1-1/2" gap, depending on sheet thickness and size. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=68 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Air Knife Fanners Permanent Magnet Sheet Fanners with Air Knives allow for ferrous and non-ferrous sheets to be separated in stacking/destacking applications. While the magnet force will work with all ferrous metals, the air knives separate all non-ferrous metal by pushing air in between the sheets causing them to rise up from one another.
Permanent Magnetic Fanners handle steel sheets of almost any length, width or shape. The sheets near the top of the stack separate instantly. Additional Info: http://www.magnetics.com/product.asp?ProductID=69 | ||||||||
.jpg) | Air Spring Sheet Fanners Air Spring Fanners have an air spring system that pushes the magnet inside toward the face of the fanner when air pressure is present. When the air pressure is turned off or disconnected the air spring will defl ate and the magnet will move away from the face of the fanner creating air gap that in essence turns the magnet off. This removes the risk of having metal accidently attracted to the fanner during transportation or stack changeovers.
