Definitions
- This invention relates to magnetic removal of ferrous metal objects from non-ferrous material.
- Conveyors are used to transport various materials. As one exam-
- a vibratory or "shaker" conveyor may transport non-ferrous material such as wood chips.
- the non-ferrous material may be commingled with ferrous metal objects (e.g. screws, nuts, broken machinery parts, spikes, nails, steel filings, steel chips, etc.), which if not separated from the non-ferrous material could be ingested into other processing machin-
- Figure 1 is an oblique perspective view of a magnetically fastenable magnetic wedge separator in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a top plan view of the Figure 1 apparatus.
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional side elevation view of the Figure 1 apparatus in operation on a shaker conveyor. 25
- the invention provides a wedge-shaped separator 10 having a leading edge 12 and a trailing edge 14.
- One or more fastening magnets 16 are embedded within separator 10 to removably magnetically fasten separator 10 atop the ferrous metal surface 18 of a conveyor such as a shaker conveyor, without the need for structural modification or adaptation of the conveyor to receive or retain separator 10.
- the body of separator 10 is preferably a non-ferrous material such as polyurethane formed in a wedge shape to provide an inclined surface 19 extending upwardly from leading edge 12 to trailing edge 14.
- Protective caps 20, 22 can be fitted over leading edge 12 and trailing edge 14 respectively.
- One or more separating magnets 24 are embedded within separator 10, adjacent trailing edge 14.
- Trailing edge cap 22 is made of a non-ferrous material to minimize interference with the magnetic field 32 of separating magnets 24.
- Conveyor surface 18 transports a moving stream of non-ferrous material 26 (e.g. wood chips) in the direction indicated by arrow 28 (i.e. from right to left as viewed in Figure 3).
- Non-ferrous material 26 may be commingled with some ferrous metal objects 30 (e.g.
- Commingled non-ferrous material 26 and ferrous metal objects 30 are transported along conveyor surface 18, initially encountering separator 10 's leading edge 12 which diverts commingled non-ferrous material 26 and ferrous metal objects 30 from conveyor surface 18 onto separator 10's inclined surface 19.
- Separator 10 is formed such that its width dimension "W" ( Figure 2) in only slightly smaller than the width of conveyor surface 18, so that substantially all material transported along conveyor surface 18 will be diverted onto separator 10's inclined surface 19.
- the shaker conveyor's vibratory (shaking) action transports the diverted commingled non-ferrous material 26 and ferrous metal objects 30 across inclined surface 19, toward and over trailing edge 14 which abruptly intersects conveyor surface 18.
- Commingled non-ferrous material 26 and ferrous metal objects 30 encounter the magnetic field 32 of separating magnets 24 as the commingled material and objects are transported over trailing edge 14.
- substantially all ferrous metal objects 30 are magnetically attracted toward separating magnets 24 and magnetically retained on separator 10 near trailing edge 14, without substantially impeding transport of non-ferrous material 26 along the conveyor.
- non-ferrous material 26 is unaffected by separating magnets 24, drops off trailing edge 14 onto conveyor surface 18, and is transported along conveyor surface 18 away from separator 10 in the direction of arrow 28 for further processing (not shown).
- any ferrous metal objects 30 magnetically retained on separator 10 can be removed, for example by scraping such objects off separator 10 with a non-metallic scraping tool (not shown).
- metal backing plates can be embedded in separator 10 to facilitate welding, bolting, clamping or other attachment of separator 10 to the conveyor. This may however require structural modification or adaptation of the conveyor to receive or retain separator 10.
- fastening magnets 16 allow rapid removal and replacement of separator 10.
- the tip of a pry bar— not shown— can be inserted into one of leading edge recesses 34 (or into another recess— not shown— in trailing edge 14) and force can then be applied to the pry bar to break the magnetic bond between separator 10 and conveyor surface 18.
- Other techniques known to persons skilled in the art, such as use of a jacking bolt— not shown— can be employed to break the magnetic bond between separator 10 and conveyor surface 18.
- the capability to rapidly remove separator 10 from the conveyor also simplifies removal of ferrous metal objects 30 magnetically retained on separator 10, after which separator 10 can be quickly returned to service on the conveyor.
- Fastening magnets 16 also allow separator 10 to be rapidly removed from one conveyor and placed in service on a different conveyor.
- Fastening magnets 16 further allow separator 10 to be rapidly removed from one location on a particular conveyor and replaced in service at a different location on the same conveyor. This enables optimization of separator 10's capability to remove ferrous metal objects 30 from non-ferrous material 26, which may be affected by factors such as the particular type of non-ferrous material being conveyed; and, the size, volume or consistency of ferrous metal objects 30 typically commingled within non-ferrous material 26.
