Malfunctions/Service
CAUTION!
Improper handling of the magnet device may lead to damages.
Potential damage to body and property!
•
Any repair to GOUDSMIT magnet devices may be performed by qualified personnel only.
•
Be aware that permanent magnetic material attracts ferromagnetic material with great force
when it gets in reach of the magnetic field

Malfunction
Possible cause
Possible remedy
Magnet does not separate
ferromagnetic (Fe) particles, or
separates them badly.
magnet bar is overloaded with Fe
particles.
Clean the magnet bar more often.
Not-attracted objects are not
ferromagnetic.
Check if particles to be separated are
ferromagnetic, using a permanent magnet.
Fe parts in the neighbourhood of the
magnets lessen the Fe separation
capacity.
Check the installation parts in the neighbourhood
of the magnets on magnetic behaviour by holding
an iron part close to them. If there are magnetic
reacting parts, then they should be replaced by
non-magnetic parts, like SS.
Motor makes more noise than
presumed normal, or has a
higher nominal current [A].
Magnet bar tube is overloaded with Fe
parts.
Clean the magnet bar tube.
An object ‘sticks’ between rotor and the
housing.
Remove the object from the system and clean the
extractor.
Rotor is not turning.
Electrical connection is not executed
properly.
Fix the electrical connection.
The safety latch switch box is not
activated.
Make sure that the safety latch makes good
contact with the safety latch switch box.
Door is not closed properly.
Close the door with securely plugged in safety
latch and closed safety lock mechanism.
Magnets are hard to remove out
the magnet bar tubes.
Dents in the magnet bar tubes.
Fix the magnet bar tubes if possible or else order
a new magnet bar tube. Replace the rotor only
with an undamaged magnet bar tube.
