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.
