ERIEZ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ERIEZ from 3G Electric.
What types of magnets does ERIEZ offer for industrial separation?
ERIEZ manufactures plate magnets, grate magnets, and tube magnets for ferrous contamination removal. Plate magnets are used in chutes or ducts, grate magnets in free-flowing materials, and tube magnets in pneumatic lines. They are available in rare earth (neodymium) or ceramic (ferrite) materials, with pull strengths ranging from 80 oz to over 100 oz, depending on the model. Frame materials include stainless steel for durability in wet or corrosive environments.
How do ERIEZ coolant proportioners work?
ERIEZ coolant proportioners, such as the venturi-type model 84-1420, mix water and concentrate at a specified ratio. The venturi design uses water flow to draw concentrate, achieving a maximum mixing ratio of 1:4 and a dilution range of 2% to 15%. They have a flow rate of 5 gpm and include a pipe connector for 3/4 in GHT fittings. These units are used in machining operations to maintain consistent coolant concentration.
What is the maximum magnetic pull strength of ERIEZ rare earth magnets?
ERIEZ rare earth magnets, such as those in plate and tube models, offer maximum pull strengths up to 100 oz for plate magnets (e.g., MPN 129910P) and 80 oz for tube magnets (e.g., MPN 130919P). Pull strength varies by magnet size and configuration. These values are measured under standard conditions and indicate the force required to detach a ferrous test piece from the magnet face.
Are ERIEZ magnets suitable for food-grade applications?
ERIEZ manufactures magnets with stainless steel frames that can be used in food processing environments where ferrous contamination removal is required. However, specific models should be verified for compliance with food safety standards such as FDA or USDA. The company provides magnetic separators designed for sanitary conditions, but buyers should check individual product specifications for certifications.
What is the difference between ERIEZ plate magnets and grate magnets?
Plate magnets are flat, rectangular units mounted in chutes or ducts to capture ferrous tramp metal from material flow. Grate magnets consist of magnetic tubes arranged in a grid pattern, installed in hoppers or free-flowing material streams. Plate magnets offer a larger surface area for contact, while grate magnets provide multiple collection points. Both are available in rare earth or ceramic materials.
Can ERIEZ tube magnets be used in pneumatic conveying systems?
Yes, ERIEZ tube magnets are designed for installation in pneumatic lines or gravity-fed chutes to remove ferrous contaminants from dry, free-flowing materials. They are available in lengths from 4 inches to 22 inches (e.g., MPN 126734P and 135684P) with rare earth magnets. The cylindrical shape allows for easy integration into existing piping with minimal pressure drop.
