The bigger the gap - The cleaner the scrap

Designed to be fed from underneath, Steinert’s MTE Axial Pole Electromagnetic Drums are the best in-line solution for superior ferrous metal recovery and quality at high production rates. In addition to strong drum shells, limiting ring, bearing housing and adjustment arm designs, the MTE (Q) Axial Pole System flips and cleans the scrap before releasing it.

The MTE’s ANOFOL anodized core provides cooler temperatures for higher performance during extended run times in a sealed system. The result is a machine perfectly suited to precede Steinert’s NES, ISS and XSS Series Sorters or your current system.

Features:

• Unique Aluminum anodized foil cores made by Steinert run cooler longer.
• No insulated wire core to trap heat and destroy magnetism.
• Modular coil design allows easy replacement.
• Drum supports are Ringfeder Clamps
• Larger bearings and housings are made user friendly.
• Strong axial cores allow bigger working gaps and extra flipping of ferrous for better cleaning action.
• Ferrous losses are very low, reducing tramp iron levels
• Replaceable Wear Covers protect and extend drum shell life.
• We have the biggest drum size selection in the industry
  • 800 mm wide x 800 mm diameter (32” x 32”)
  • 3400 mm wide  x 1800 mm diameter (130” x 72”)
• 35 years of successful application experience
• 70 units in North America alone.

Applications of the Steinert Magnetic Drum

Magnetic Drums are a good idea whenever the production is high, or if the belt of your over band magnet is over burdened or wearing out quickly. STEINERT’s robust core adjustment arm only hints of the huge magnetic core inside.

Applications such as pre-separation of ferrous before Eddy-Current separators and recovery of slightly magnetic material found in crushed batteries or electronic scrap take advantage of the drum design to recover ferrous in line without reducing through-put.

Removal of tramp iron from coal or glass is also done easily. STEINERT axial pole (Q) electromagnetic drums out perform all other drums on the market. STEINERT drums give years of trouble free service. Working Principles Overfed Drum Bulk material is distributed evenly with a feed system onto a rotating magnetic drum. Any magnetic piece is attracted to the drum shell and is carried to the point where the magnetic core ends. The non-magnetic particles have fallen off before this point. With material and drum going in the same direction, the flow is easy to handle and ferrous losses are small. Even when the material is large, small or mixed, the size of the particles usually determines the diameter of the drum.

Technology

STEINERT offers electromagnet and permanent magnet drums. All of the drums feature an adjustable magnet system. This makes it possible to precisely select the point where the magnetic field is applied. This feature represents a major enhancement of the respective products. Both of the magnet systems are available as a disc pole or transverse pole.In the electromagnet drum with the MTE Q transverse pole, there are several poles. The first pole generates an especially far-reaching, strong field in the direction of the material feed, ensuring reliable separation of small pieces of scrap metal. Other poles hold the material on the drum housing. By reversing the poles, the scrap is cleaned and led to the discharge. This classic shredder drum contains an iron core with specially formed poles and high-performance coils made of ANOFOL, the anodised aluminium strip made by STEINERT.

The STEINERT electromagnet drum with disk pole MTE S removes iron particles from bulk material. The magnetic field is generated by a disk pole system that consists of semicircular cast steel bodies with ANOFOL field coils between them.

The compact, extremely powerful coils generate such high attractive forces that the strength and material of the drum housing conform to these high requirements in terms of wear and deformation.

The permanent magnet drum MTP operates using permanent magnets, including some neodymium iron boron magnets which generate a strong magnetic field, especially in their immediate vicinity. The MTP S is equipped with a disk-shaped magnet system that utilizes the same polarity in the direction of rotation in order to generate strong holding forces.

Like the MTE Q, the MTP Q with transverse pole generates its magnetic field transverse to the direction of rotation, which promotes the self-cleaning of the iron.

The worldwide success story of STEINERT magnet drums is a result not only of their robust design but also of their evenly strong magnetic field over the entire working width.

Models

There are a number of designs available, depending on the material size and task to be done.

MTE Q Axial Pole Electromagnetic Drum

Designed to be underfed, the MTE Q can recover very clean ferrous material, depending on the volume and size of material. STEINERT offers widths from 800 mm to 2800 mm (32” – 110”) and diameters from 800 mm to 1800 mm (32” – 72”).

MTE S Radial Pole Electromagnetic Drum

The MTE S produces a deep attraction field. The ferrous particles once attracted, remain attached to the drum until reaching the end of the magnetic field.

MTP Permanent magnetic Drums

Available in axial (Q) or radial (S) design, this drum is suitable for medium to fine bulk material. Working widths from 220 mm to 2000 mm (9”-80”), and diameters from 200 mm to 800 mm (8” – 32”).

Magnetic Separator Systems

The best separation results are achieved by a coordinated feeding system with discharge chute and a fly integrated support system from STEINERT. As a pre-separation a magnetic drum separator system eliminates ferrous, reduces burden depth and increases down stream efficiency.
