Safely separate steel sheets with fail-safe magnet
The fail safe magnetic separator automatically separates steel sheets of almost any shape, length or width up to a thickness of approximately 4 mm.
Also round and asymmetrical shapes.
The extremely safe - hence the name 'fail-safe' - sheet separator automatically switches to the off position even if the compressed air supply is interrupted.
Even at full load at maximum stacking height.
The separator is equipped with very powerful neodymium magnets and can be switched on and off pneumatically using a new patented system.
The permanent magnetic force does not degrade and is guaranteed for decades.
