Problem:
Raw materials used to produce finely granulated aluminum powders for paints, printing inks, high explosives and lightweight concrete must be purged of ferrous tramp to protect machinery and equipment. Assuring a quality finished products are also of upmost priority.
Solution:
At International Bronze Powders Ltd., Valleyview, Quebec, Canada, raw materials in the form of aluminum foil trimmings pass over an Eriez
Maxi Power Plate Magnet. When iron is present the magnet activates a micro-switch and shuts down the conveyor. Granulated aluminum passes through three
Magnetic Humps and an HI-Filter to remove all of the fine iron contamination.
