Ferrous fragment ‘sweeper’ from Eriez

It can be a costly business for scrap firms when metal fragments damage the tyres of vehicles operating in the yard. To this end, Eriez Magnetics Europe has developed a Magnetic Sweeper which, once attached to a vehicle tow bar, uses its high-strength magnetic field to pick up and hold nails, wire, welding rod ends, bolts, ferrous chips and all kinds of potentially damaging pieces of metal - all in one sweep.

Eriez supplies both Permanent Magnetic and Electromagnetic Sweepers: both types offer a high speed and powerful solution to troublesome tramp metal, with the electromagnetic version enabling users to unload the accumulated debris simply by turning off the magnet. For its part, the lightweight permanent magnetic option has the benefit of attracting metal without the requirement of a power source.

When cleaning the permanent magnet, the non-magnetic housing serves as a stripper pan for the magnet; moving a lever raises the magnet inside the housing and allows the tramp iron to drop to the ground.

The sweepers can either be supplied to suspend from a fork-lift truck or can be offered as a trailing model with puncture-proof tyres and a tow bar for quick attachment to the towing vehicle.
