Steel plates are a common raw material found in almost any manufacturing company. But how do you lift large steel plates, which can weigh several tons? Is it a steel wire rope, steel plate hooks, vacuum lifter or electromagnetic lifter, permanent magnetic lifter, or electro-permanent magnetic lifter? Today, HVR will tell you how to choose a suitable steel plate lifting device.
To determine the suitable lifting device for your steel plate, first of all, you must understand its material and its flatness.
If the material is magneto conductive, such as carbon steel, the priority is to choose an EPM lifter, then an electro-permanent, permanent magnetic lifter. If the material is aluminum alloy, the focus is to select a vacuum lifter, hooks, and ropes.
Secondly, according to the size specification of the steel plate, choose the specific lifting device. Suppose the workshop needs to lift a wide range of steel plates. In that case, you can select the HVR magnetic telescopic beam electro-permanent magnetic lifter or use a multiple steel plate unique electro-permanent magnetic lifter to carry the steel plate.
Furthermore, choose the correct lifter for the steel plate according to the specific environment in which the steel plate is to be lifted. Suppose it is convenient to connect to electricity indoors; you have many choices. While connecting the electricity outdoors is complex, a battery EPM lifter is recommended.
Finally, according to the specific working conditions of lifting and their own budget, there are different choices. Small manufacturers tend to choose hooks, steel wire rope, and steel plate hooks because they are cheap. For high-frequency enterprises, selecting HVR electro-permanent magnetic lifter is a good choice. In addition, permanent magnetic lifters are suitable for handling small steel plates with magnetic workpieces; electromagnetic lifters are ideal for lifting scrap steel and bundles of magnetic conductive workpieces;. In contrast, vacuum lifters are suitable for lifting stainless steel plates, as well as flat steel plates and steel plates with neat and unpolluted surfaces.
In addition, among all the steel plate lifting devices, I am most optimistic about the electro-permanent magnetic lifter because it has all the advantages of both the electromagnetic lifter and permanent magnetic lifter. On the one hand, the magnetic force is strong enough, safe, durable,energy-saving, and environmentally friendly. On the other hand, the magnetic force can be controlled, which is convenient for users to adjust the magnetic force size flexibly. It can save more than 95% of electrical energy, is not accessible to damage, and will initially lift efficiency greatly improved to promote the growth of the workshop capacity.
