Intended use/user instructions
Products
The Non-Ferrous separator magnetic installation is suited for separating and regaining non-
ferromagnetic metals, like aluminium and copper, out of non-sticky materials flows.
Fe parts
The NF separator is NOT suited for separating ferromagnetic particles.
GOUDSMIT Magnetic Systems B.V. recommends separation of tin and ferromagnetic materials, before
feeding it through the NF separator. This improves the results of non-ferro separation. Also, feeding a
material flow containing Fe particles over the NF separator, increases wear, especially on the conveyor
belt.
Temperatures
Suited for outside temperatures of -20°C to 40°C.
Suited for product temperatures up to 60°C with (standard) Neoflux
®
magnets.
The magnet has to be protected against higher temperatures than prescribed, because the magnet will
lose magnetic force
(permanent) when exposed to higher temperatures.
Free space
Make sure that there is sufficient free space around the device to perform and ease the cleaning,
inspection and maintenance operation. To make it possible to exchange the belt, the free space must
be at least 1.5x belt-width (non-motor side).
Noise level
The device produces less than 70 dB at delivery. When it becomes more, check the device for faults.
Vibrations
The NF separator causes vibrations itself by the very fast rotating magnet roller and the vibratory
feeder, if applicable. Damp out these vibrations by the frame and/or floor.
If the vibrations increase in time, check for faults and or wear.
The magnet is to be protected against strong external vibrations, because the magnet will
lose
magnetic force permanently
and/or the brittle ceramic magnet material will break.
Cleaning
Make sure the device is clean for an optimal separation result, and to prevent accumulation of dirt and
possible fine Fe-parts (like dust) near the magnet roller.
