The Heavy-Duty MagSlide Chip and Parts Conveyors remove and transport heavy loads of sharp, abrasive parts that could otherwise damage, jam or even shut down conventional belt conveyors.
The conveyors are economically built and economical to maintain. Instead of relying on a moving belt to carry cargo, these conveyors use moving magnets hidden beneath a stainless steel slider bed to move ferrous materials along the conveyor’s heavy-gauge surface. Twin-roller drive chains, which hold and move the conveyor magnets, travel in oil-impregnated Bunting SlideTrack channels that are made from ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). These efficient channels provide constant lubrication to help minimize friction, chain wear, and noise. Chain life is further extended thanks to built-in oil fittings, which allow for manual or automatic supplemental lubrication.
Although high-energy Ceramic magnets come standard with MagSlide Conveyors, Rare Earth magnets may be installed for conveying especially heavy parts, fine scrap or high-volume loads. Both types of magnets offer long-term reliability and ensure precision. MagSlide Conveyors are CAD engineered and manufactured on highly automated CNC punching, milling, and turning equipment. Models included horizontal, inclined, and angled units with both fixed and mobile bases, as well as low-profile MagSlide conveyors. Except for the conveyor’s electric motor, all moving parts are completely enclosed. Optional watertight housings are available for special applications.
- Rugged construction allows conveyors to handle the toughest jobs with ease.
- No need for labor-intensive supervision, as there are no external moving parts to fail and compromise productivity and worker safety.
- Maintenance is minimal, and except for the electric motor, all moving parts are totally enclosed.
- MagSlide configurations include horizontal, incline, and angled models with fixed and mobile bases plus hoppers, tanks, impact plates, and other options.
- Continuous chain lubrication with oil-impregnated UHMWPE SlideTrack and oil ports to allow extended chain service.
- Oil ports to allow extended chain service
- High-energy ceramic or Rare Earth Magnets implemented based on application needs
- Durable stainless steel slider beds with optional manganese add-on.
- Sealed precision drive and take-up bearings.
- Designed with 3-D solid-model technology and precision manufactured on CNC machines.
- Optional submersible housings are available.
