Lifting Magnet for Cast Iron Pipes
People use cast iron pipes generally in the municipal units of the construction site. We bury them under the ground as water pipes, sewage pipes, gas pipelines, etc. Most of them are made of large-diameter ductile iron pipes. Lifting is essential in the production and transportation of cast iron pipes. We need to know the magnetic permeability of cast iron pipes is not as high as steel pipes if we choose magnet. So we need to increase the magnetic force according to the working conditions.
Traditionally, people lift cast iron pipes with slings and hooks at both ends, together with the overhead crane. And two pipes are lifted at most each time. But the tedious and repetitive work cannot keep up with the time, because of the high labor intensity and low production efficiency.
With the electro-permanent lifting magnet, we lift the pipes without having to worry about safety. That is when the electric current was cut off, the workpiece will not fall off. So it is safer. What’s more, we can operate it by remote control, which is more convenient. For post-maintenance, it just needs some daily visual checks and care.
In addition, the electro-permanent lifting magnet has the following advantages:
- The lifting magnet is equipped with an auxiliary mechanism on the side to prevent the cast tube from sliding during the process of handling.
- Optional rotating mechanism is to achieve the correct positioning of the cast tubes while lifting and transferring.
- It needs only an electric current pulse to magnetize or demagnetize the magnet, which means it does not consume electricity during the lifting process. So it is not only safe but also energy-saving.
