How to operate lifting magnets effectively and safely?

During everyday production, accidents can happen at any time. To eliminate safety hazards in heavy-load steel handling, the operators need to follow strict safety rules while using the magnetic lifters (here refers specifically to the electro-permanent magnet). So HVR MAG here introduces how to safely and effectively operate lifting magnets during daily usage.

Operation rules or reminders for lifting magnets:

1. Before each use, we have to check the magnet visually. We need to check whether the magnet looks good from the outside. Then we check if the controller parameters are well adjusted, or the wire is well connected, or if the magnetization and demagnetization are normal or not.
2. The operator of the magnet must read the instruction manual before usage. And they should be clear about basic safety knowledge. Any personnel who isn’t authorized should not operate the magnet.
3. Observe the load, and do not handle loads that exceed the lifting capacity of the lifting magnet, since HVR MAG custom the capacity for you.
4. Pay attention to the working temperature. HVR MAG sometimes custom-made the magnet to your specific temperature requirement. Use the magnet in the allowable temperature range, because the higher the temperature, the more the magnetic force decay.
5. Avoid impact or vibration during operation.
6. Try to keep the load balanced and keep the weight of the load evenly distributed under the magnet.
8. Make sure there is full contact between the load and the magnet, and do not magnetize the magnet before this.

Lifting magnets are now widely used for lifting and handling steel plates, pipes, coils, and ferromagnetic materials of automatic production lines. For structural steel fabrication, construction machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, and logistics, enterprises put much emphasis on safe operation. On how to operate lifting magnets effectively, there are some more instructions, reminders, and suggestions. They are all for your profit maximization.
