Dings Magnetic Group Stationary Permanent Overhead Magnet - Manual (Page 4)

Revised May 21, 2013
Installation Procedures
Unpacking and Handling
Upon receiving, check all packaged material for shortage of parts and possible damage.
Report shortages and damage to the carrier who delivered shipment. The magnet was
shipped fully assembled, ready for operation. If a sweep arm assembly was supplied, it
may have been shipped separately and must be bolted on before operation.
Magnet
This Dings stationary permanent magnet was shipped using 4” x 6”
wooden beams as
supports under the two sides of the magnet. This is done to protect the magnet surface
from damage during shipment. After unloading, the magnet should never be placed directly
on the ground. Rather, wood beams or some other means of support should be placed
beneath the two sides of the magnet box to raise the magnet above the ground.
The magnet should always be moved using the three lifting lugs or sling assembly provided.
Never use a forklift or other device to lift the magnet from the bottom.
The magnet should be stored indoors prior to installation.
Recommended Storage of Overhead Magnets
1) The following precautionary procedures are recommended:
a) Store magnet indoors in a low humidity, even temperature environment if possible.
b) Keep water and any other form of moisture away from the magnet while in storage.
2) This is a procedure for indoor storage only. Outdoor storage is definitely not advised and
will null and void our warranty on the magnet assembly.
Installation
This permanent stationary overhead magnet is shipped fully assembled and ready to install.
Dings permanent stationary overhead magnets are built in 2 types: Inline and Crossbelt.
An Inline type is installed over a conveyor head pulley so that the magnet face is parallel to
the travel direction of material falling off the conveyor. The head pulley must be made from
non-magnetic material. This location is preferred because separation efficiency is better
when the magnet is located over where the conveyed material open up during its path
through the air. Material discharging from the head pulley is not packed as tightly around
buried metal. Consequently, there is less resistance to magnetic pull.
