Operation

ECS Std Schematic

A high frequency high intensity magnetic rotor inside the head drum of the ECS conveyor induces a magnetic field into non-ferrous metals on the belt surface. These magnetically induced metals react with the magnetic field of the rotor which causes them to be propelled forward further than the other material on the belt. The performance is determined by a combination of flux density and frequency – to find out why the Magnapower ECS is an industry leader then please ask.

Eccentric Rotor

A key advantage of the eccentric rotor is that ferrous metal is significantly less damaging than it would be to a concentric rotor. Ferrous metal heats up very rapidly on an ECS and needs to discharge quickly before causing damage. The eccentric rotor allows ferrous to discharge easily from the rotor. On a concentric rotor it discharges less easily and causes significant wear and damage. The Magnapower eccentric rotor is also designed to give a higher separation force to provide greater performance and reliability.

Key Features of the Magnapower ECS include:

  • Maximum separating force with eccentric rotor which also minimises the damage that can occur from ferrous metal reaching the ECS
  • High powered Rare Earth Neodymium (non-deteriorating) magnet system
  • Protection of rotor and bearings with labyrinth seals
  • Higher throughput with variable high speed conveyor
  • Prevention of product ingress due to sealed belt and frame arrangement
  • Simple belt changing system – approx 1 hour
  • Motorized drive drum with internal bearings to prevent material trapping 2/ damage
  • Easy access to tracking and lubrication areas using hinged access doors
  • Maximum strength and wear resisting carbon fibre rotor cover
  • Simple splitter adjustment & inspection doors

Optional Equipment:

  • Base Frame: Heavy duty support structure for incorporating into your framework or floor mounting to suit your height requirements
  • Rare Earth Drum Magnet to remove ferrous metal prior to ECS
  • Control panel available including inverter driven controls for the belt and rotor
  • Vibratory feeders are available when required
