Application

MPI's Standard Sheet Separators (SS series) meet the needs of demanding manufacturing environments. They are designed to improve productivity and employee safety in sheet handling operations. These magnets can also provide significant benefits in reducing costs by eliminating “doubles” when handling oily, sticky, or pre-finished sheet stock in an automated stamping, forming or shearing operations.

Construction:

Powerful ceramic magnet material is enclosed in an all-welded 100% stainless steel housing to provide durable designs, able to withstand de-magnetizing (actual loss of only 1/2 of 1% over 100 years, under normal operating conditions, can be expected)

Operation:

SS series sheet separators utilize the basic laws of magnetic “like poles” repelling characteristics in their use and operation. By inducing “like” magnetic fields into a stack of steel sheets or plates, repelling forces are created from sheet to sheet, forcing them to separate from each other.

Standard features:

• Rugged all-welded construction
• Powerful ceramic 8 permanent magnet material
• 100% stainless steel housing

Optional features:

• Special mounting brackets
• Removable wear strips
• Optional sizes
• Powerful rare earth magnet material

Selection:

MPI builds four series of standard sheet separators, each with its own specific advantages. This enables you to design a solution that fits both your application needs and your budget.

Important:

It is recommended that the sheet separator be at least 2 inches taller than the stacked steel height, for optimum operation.
