Recently, we have received a lot of inquiries from our customers regarding the lifting of steel plates. For example, is it safe to lift steel plates with an electro-permanent magnetic lifter? What is the voltage of the EPM lifter? How to lift single and multiple sheets when lifting steel plates?
Many customers initially use hooks for handling, which requires more labor and low work efficiency and cannot guarantee safety. There is a significant security risk problem. As people’s awareness of efficiency and safety continues to rise, customers want to replace them with electro-permanent magnet spreaders. Still, they don’t know if the electro-permanent magnets are suitable. For example, for a machinery company in Shandong that mainly do construction machinery, environmental protection equipment, and construction materials. the customer often needs to carry the steel plate: the width of the steel plate is 1500-2500mm, length 6000-12000mm, thickness 2-30mm, the heaviest steel plate up to 7 tons, and the customer in addition to single handling sometimes also need to carry two sheets of steel plate.
The customer’s difficulty is mainly handling single and multiple sheets, so how can the electro-permanent magnetic lifter meet this requirement?
There is a difference between single and multiple handling electro-permanent magnetic lifters. Single sheet handling electro-permanent magnetic lifter has a shallow depth of permeability. It can be used to carry only the uppermost steel plate each time when the steel plates are stacked together. The large poles of the multi-sheet lifter have a very deep magnetic permeability so that when handling multiple steel sheets, the magnetic force will hold on to each steel sheet below without the risk of the steel falling off. In this way, we can meet the working conditions’ requirements, whether handling single steel plates or multiple steel plates, and the sales engineers will give professional advice on how to choose the spreader to be more cost-effective.
I hope it will be helpful to you. No matter how unique your working conditions are, we can provide you with professional solutions.
