Control panel
Cleaning cycle time and duration is controlled from the control panel or
by PLC. From the control panel cycle time can be set to between 1–45
minutes, cleaning duration from 1–10 seconds. Timings are determined
by contamination levels.
Fluid flow configuration
A unique two chamber flow configuration ensures that maximum
filtration efficiency is achieved. Fluid is slowed in the Automag and
evenly distributed around the magnetic cores.
Magnetic cores
The magnetic cores are made using ‘rare earth’ neodymium iron boron
– currently the strongest permanent magnet material available. When
configured with pole concentrators, high-intensity magnetic fields
are generated which are capable of attracting even sub-micron sized
particles.
Each core is housed inside a stainless steel sleeve. The cores are held
together in a moveable ‘shuttle’ unit. Cleaning is triggered by a small
amount of compressed air moving the shuttle up out of the these
sleeves. The contamination, which has been held to the surface of the
sleeve by the magnetic field, is then released, allowing it to be purged
from the unit.
Purging
The purge valve is automatically opened as part of the cleaning
process. This redirects the fluid into a contamination collection tank.
A fixed amount of fluid is allowed through the Automag, purging the
contamination into this tank where it can be recycled and reclaimed.
