Material handling covers many tools and techniques, each with strengths and weaknesses. Traditional lifting methods have served us well, but as our needs evolve, so does technology. Traditional lifting techniques offer reliable lifting power and are often considered the right choice for heavy-duty material handling. Electro-permanent magnets are a relatively new player in the field. But how can steel handling be done easily when electricity is not readily available? You can choose the battery powered lifting magnet from HVR MAG.
What is Battery Powered Lifting Magnet?
Battery Powered Lift Magnets are self-contained lifting magnets, remotely controllable, are free of restricting cords and wires and have the further advantage of being usable in areas where electric power is not available – inside or outside the plant.Battery operated lifting magnets, can not only be used as single unit but also be integrated on a spreader beam, for the easy handling of flat and round steel parts, single sheet, profiles, in various industrial applications in:
- Material storage • Steel fabrication
- Warehouse • Metallurgical plants
- Dispatch departments • Machine shops
Features of Battery Powered Lifting Magnet
- Thanks to the integrated rechargeable battery group, this revolutionary electro permanent lifting magnet functions completely autonomously.
- A power supply cable is not required.
- Electric current pulse is only used to invert the magnet molecularly; the effective force is generated by permanent magnets.
- No power consumed during working, energy saving.
- Due to the low power consumption, the battery has an autonomy of over 700 cycles.
- Charging the battery by means of the built-in charger (220V / 50Hz) takes about 5 to 8 hours, depending on the model.
Examples of HVR MAG’s Battery Powered Lift Magnet used in structural steel handling
This is a battery powered lift magnet designed for the handling of structural steel. The built-in battery eliminates the need for an external power supply and allows for a wide range of handling tasks. When fully charged, it can perform over 600 lifts. The remote control allows the operator to perform all movements alone. The safety lock function prevents the steel from being dropped due to operator error.
This is a battery powered lift magnet that we have installed for our customer, the slim shape designed for handling structural steel makes it easy to grip long and slender steel such as rectangular tubes, H-beams and channels. There are 6 sets of magnet modules, spaced according to the length of the customer’s workpiece to maintain balance. The customer uses it to palletise and load channels, which is 80% more efficient than manual handling.
In conclusion, the HBEPS series battery powered lift magnet can be used indoors and outdoors without the need for a power supply. HVR MAG magnetic spreaders use electro-permanent magnet technology, which uses electricity only at the moment of mag and demag, resulting in low power consumption. This means that the battery can be used for a long time after being fully charged, meeting the demands of frequent handling operations. HVR MAG‘s battery powered lift magnet help you to achieve efficient, safe, energy-saving and convenient steel handling. If you need a battery powered lift magnet for steel plate, the HBEPP series is available.
