sheet separators

Sheet separators were specially developed to permit easy and uninterrupted removal of steel sheets stacked horizontally or vertically. No more prying apart of greasy or oily sheets.
A sheet separator saves money. Sometimes compressed air is used as a sheet separator. Air is very expensive. Properly designed magnet sheet separators do the same job free from ongoing costs.

Choose the right type of sheet separator

Rough Indication
Maximum Sheet Thickness (mm)	Cross Section of Magnet(mm)
0.7	73 x 28
1.0	103 x 28
2.0	104 x 49
3.0	155 x 47
4.0	179 x 88
5.0	279 x 94

Selection of the best type and quantity depends on the following factors:

Stack height
Flatness of the sheets
Surface condition
Thickness and dimensions of the sheets

The sheet separator must be higher than the stack to obtain correct separation. Add the width of the magnet to the stack height.

By applying above rules to normal dry steel plates, a sheet separator can separate approx. 30 dm² sheet area and under unfavourable circumstances, such as oil, 15 dm². The number of sheet separators required depends on whether sheet removal is mechanical or manual.

Sheet separators for automatic sheet feeders

Sheet separators for thin sheets up to 0.25 mm specially made for automatic sheet feeders to avoid double sheet feeding.

Also special sheet separators

As we are specialist in magnetism, we are able to design and build special and extra powerful sheet separators. If you have a problem with sheet separation or separation of other steel products, please do not hesitate to contact us.
