Goudsmit targets recycling plant dust

Goudsmit targets recycling plant dust
<![CDATA[

Netherlands-based Goudsmit Magnetic Systems says it will be displaying recently developed over-belt magnets designed to remove iron particles in recycling and biomass plants at stand #316 in Hall C2-316 at the 2016 IFAT trade fair in Munich May 30-June 3.

Goudsmit says the magnets are suitable for ATEX (atmosphères explosibles) zone 21 and 22 explosive dust environments. As defined by the European Union’s ATEX directive, zone 21 includes workplaces with dust particles present and where “an explosive mixture is likely to occur in normal operation.”

Goudsmit says its new over-belt models are “suitable for removing iron particles from recycling, bulk-handling or biomass material flows such as wood, household waste, RDF (refuse-derived fuel) as well as coal or cement.”

The conveyor belts around the magnet are made to be extra tough and wear-resistant so they can capture and cast off the separated iron particles properly, says the company. An auxiliary magnet is used to remove the separated iron particles from the magnetic field.

The electrical parts, connections and cabling are installed in accordance with ATEX guidelines, says Goudsmit, plus the bearings are protected and the magnetic system is completely covered. As an extra option, the magnet contains a cooling system, with a heat exchanger and pump, to provide regulation of oil cooling “and ensure proper operation,” according to the company.
