Drawer magnets are used in a variety of industrial applications to remove ferrous metal contaminants from materials that are processed in a production line.
How to prolong the service life of Drawer magnets?
1. Regular Cleaning and Maintenance: To extend the life of drawer magnets, it is crucial to clean them regularly to prevent the build-up of ferrous materials. The recommended cleaning interval is at least twice in an 8-hour shift to ensure that magnetic build-up does not exceed 1mm of fines covering up to 50% of a magnetic surface.
2. Inspection of Components: Drawer magnets should be inspected for any damage, residual tramp metal, or if they are pulling away from the mounting surface. This includes checking wiper seals every three to six months to verify the integrity of the seal and replacing them if necessary.
3. Proper Handling and Storage: To prevent demagnetization and physical damage, magnets should be stored in cool, dry environments and handled carefully. Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields and extreme temperatures, which can cause demagnetization and degrade the magnetic strength.
