Multiple self cleaning Drawer Magnets

The Amalgamated Sugar Company has been processing sugar for well over a century. They produce over 2 Billion pounds each year. The sugar needs to be protected in the final step of the rail load out to ensure any product that leaves the facility is free from tramp metal and is safe for consumption. Accessing the magnets is difficult, especially if the rail car has been removed. The self-cleaning option on a standard drawer magnet ensures that the cleaning is done after every load and frees up the maintenance team to focus on other tasks.

Client Needs: Ability to regularly clean high-capacity magnets in a harder to access space

Solution Proposed: MPI Self Cleaning Drawer Magnet

Result: Magnets are regularly cleaned without the maintenance team needing to access them

Special Features: Actuators connected to the PLC and programmed to "self-clean" the magnet after a batch has run

“Annik has always been our ‘go to’ for magnets and other needs. They have always been very helpful, and this project went smoothly as expected.”
