A magnetic lifter is a device that utilizes powerful electromagnets for lifting and transporting metal products, materials, and scrap. They come in various types, including permanent magnets, electromagnets, and battery-operated models, each selected based on specific applications. Magnetic lifters are essential in industries such as recycling, steel mills, and manufacturing facilities handling steel. Some models can even be attached to excavators or used underwater, and they are often colloquially referred to as "Lifma" or "Lifmag."
Magnetic lifters are primarily used in steel mills for lifting and transporting steel plates and pressed products. In recycling plants, they are employed for handling metal scrap and chips from machine tools. The lifting capacity of these devices varies based on the type of magnet and the size and materials they can handle. It's important to select the right magnet type for safe and efficient operation, as the adsorption force can be affected by factors such as dust and dirt.
Magnetic lifters come in different types, each with unique features:
Each type of magnetic lifter has its specific applications and advantages, making them versatile tools in various industrial settings.
