General Information

Dings Model:
Dings Part Number:
Dings Serial Number:
Permanent overhead magnets are non-electric type magnetic separators. They are used to
separate tramp iron (unwanted, damaging metal) and ferrous impurities from nonmagnetic
materials conveyed in bulk form.
Standard models are designed to be installed in a suspended position over belt conveyors.
During operation, tramp iron contained inside material conveyed under the magnet is
magnetically attracted. Magnetic force lifts the ferrous metal to the face of the magnet – the
bottom surface of the magnet. Metal attracted by a permanent stationary overhead magnet
must be manually removed from the magnet face.
Warnings:
Magnetic separators can project magnetism through a considerable distance and exert
much pulling force on magnetic metals. Be cautious when working with tools near the
magnet.
CAUTION: STRONG MAGNET
Strong magnetic field may have and affect on pacemakers and other electrical devices.
Please contact the device manufacturer for further information.
Operating Temperature:
Ceramic magnets: -40°F through 482°F (-40°C through 250°C).
Rare earth magnets: 176°F (80°C) or less.
NOTE: Extreme temperatures may affect the performance of the magnet.
Refer to Bulletin 1214T.
