Why is magnetic lifters for structural steel fabrication? In a steel structural fabrication plant, everyday happenings include cutting, bending, welding, and assembling steel to create different products. But all these happenings need one thing to support, that is a lifter.
Why magnetic lifting systems rather than mechanical lifting devices for structural steel fabrication?
People who work with steel know the restrictions of mechanical lifting devices. Conventional lifters such as hooks, and clamps, can often cause difficulty and waste time. What’s more, manual work in a restricted space has a high risk of injury. Not to say, in some cases, the surfaces of the steel are easily damaged or marked with the hooks and clamps on. Fortunately, lifting magnets have been making clamps, slings and chains obsolete these days.
Why electro permanent magnetic lifters rather than electromagnetic lifters?
Both kinds of lifters can be called magnetic lifters. And both are designed and manufactured to load and/or unload steel sheets/plates from pallets, racks, cutting tables, shears, etc. But they are not the same. Actually, they have some obvious differences.
1. About safety. The electro permanent magnetic lifters don’t have to use electricity except during the “MAG”(magnetization) and “DEMAG” (demagnetization) phases. While electromagnetic lifters have to use electricity during the whole working process. If the power outage happens in the middle of work, it is very easy to cause severe accidents. Even with an (expensive) power outage protection system, the frequent exchange is needed.
2. About the post maintenance. Unlike the electromagnets, the electro permanent lifting magnets don’t need post-maintenance so frequently. One big reason is that it doesn’t need power during the holding process, and the internal coils do not heat up. It is of high durability.
3. About the energy efficiency. Needless to repeat this point because the electro permanent magnetic lifters can maximize the sheet material loading and/or unloading efficiency and reduce the energy consumption.
HVR MAG is pleased to offer many structural fabrication plants with our EPM lifting magnets. Established in China in 2010, and started technical research and tests about 8 years before that, HVR MAG is a nationwide leader in the design and manufacture of lifting magnets using double magnets technology. We basically focus on electro permanent magnets. Our EPM (electro-permanent magnetic) lifters have a lot of series, including HM/HS/HB/HC/HT series. For example, HM Series are usually for steel plate lifting, HS Series are for profiles, HB is for slabs, HT is for tubes, and HC is for coils. Now for ferrous material handling such as steel plates, coils, strips, profiles, pipes, billets, round bars, rails, etc, HVR MAG can provide you with professional tailored design, manufacturing, and after-sales services. If you are confused about what kind of liters to choose or still don’t know why the electro permanent magnetic lifter counts for a structural steel fabrication plant, then please feel free to contact us at: export@hvrmagnet.com.
