magnetic components
introduction
The
pressure on production and engineering departments of modern
canning, canmaking and component manufactures to run their
line speeds ever faster increases the need for top quality,
well designed conveying.
Walker Magnetics specializes in manufacturing magnet aided
conveying systems as turnkey projects, individual magnetic
conveying devices and magnetic components to be built into
the customer's own constructions.By using our magnetic components it is possible to build
production proven conveyors which will transport a large
range of products, some at very high speed, for example
empty beverage cans at 2000 cpm.Walker Magnetics produce three main types of magnetic systems:
- permanent
magnets electro-permanent
magnets
- electro
magnets
Mostly
in conveying, Walker Magnetics use permanent magnetic systems
but in special circumstances both electro and electro-permanent
could be used.
Cleverly designed and well manufactured permanent magnets
built into a good elevator, lowerator, overhead transfer
unit etc. will guarantee production requirements across
a wide range of products from slow to high speed.
The
permanent magnetic system designed by Walker Magnetics is
very cost effective because the correct magnet strength
is available therefore not causing unnecessary wear or power
wastage.
Also permanent magnetic units do not consume electricity
or need maintenance and as the magnetic material used by
Walker Magnetics is of the highest standard they will never
lose their power unless subjected to severe damage or excessive
heat.
There are many other advantages of high quality magnetic
conveying, such as, side rails can be eliminated to avoid
damage to the decoration on a can, diameter and height changes
without change parts, low noise level and a minimum of component
to component contact.
