A recycling yard in the West Midlands recently sent their over band magnet in for repair which required the bottom manganese plate replacing after years of service. Our works removed the old one and cleaned all windings, replacing damaged insulation and re-varnishing coils. Then we folded the new 6mm plate to match the original non magnetic plate. This was then followed by fully welding the plate back into position. All bearings on the tail and head drum were replaced as well as rewinding the drive motor and servicing the gearbox. The completely refurbed unit was returned to site where we assisted in it’s installation.
Drum Skin Replacement On Site Service
This particular Steinert drum magnet had its skin replaced on site over the 2013 August bank holiday. EPMS2010 personnel and equipment were on site over 3 days, firstly we manufactured a new skin in our Birmingham works then delivered it to site with all the equipment to remove end flanges and change skin at our customer works.
Apart from changing a badly worn skin we also replaced both bearings, supplied and fitted a new duplex drive sprocket and cleaned the windings before re-assembly.
The fact that we could refurbish this drum magnet all at the customer’s site saved the need for expensive low loader transport costs and minimised plant down time.
Our customer was so pleased he now plans to have his 2nd drum magnet out to be serviced as well. We offer this on site service to all drum magnet users throughout the UK
