Magnetic rolls are found in recycling and gravel pits. Magnetic rolls separate materials. They are manufactured with electric coils internally. When the electrical coils are energized, they produce an electric field. CMT can evaluate coils for integrity and can rewind like new.
Lifting magnets can be repaired and remanufactured
Lifting magnets move tubing, coils and plate in steel mills. Lifting magnets move scrap in scrap yards. However a lifting magnet is used, lifting magnets are designed to live in extreme hot and extreme cold conditions with constant exposure to shock. Do the lifting magnets you use in your industry provide weak productivity? Dropped loads? […]
Ohm’s law — How a lifting magnet work
Industrial Lifting Magnets are very simple machines. They are nothing more than a string of wire wrapped around a magnetic core. This string of wire has resistance (ohms) that govern what current (amps) flows at a given voltage (volts). All DC magnets obey Ohm’s law. A magnet at room temperature, or ambient temperature, has the […]
Sometimes you just can’t help but buy new lifting magnets
As we anxiously await the MythBusters Jr episode starring our lifting magnet, let’s chat about new lifting magnets. Sometimes, magnets are so badly damaged that they are deemed uneconomical to repair and are replaced with new, rebuilt or used magnets. At CMT’s magnet production facilities, we offer: -Conductor straightening and reprocessing -Electrified core magnet rewinding […]
Scrapyard lifting magnets back home from the White House!
It was an honor and a privilege to be at the nation’s stage — The White House — showcasing our American-made scrapyard lifting magnets. We’ve compiled a list of media items focused on this event; check them out below! Electrical Apparatus emailed newsletter Recycling Today USA Today Check […]
Big, yellow and new: Reasons to buy a new scrap magnet
While CMT tries first to repair a scrap magnet, sometimes magnets are so badly damaged, they are deemed uneconomical to repair and are replaced with new, rebuilt or used scrap magnets. City Machine Technologies, Inc. brought its own unique line of newly designed scrap magnets to market in 1998. Our design supplies the customer with […]
Save money and increase the life of an industrial lifting magnet
In our last blog, we talked about how doing predictive maintenance can save you significant amounts of money in the long run. Today would be a good day to start another new year’s resolution: Take a few simple steps to extend the life of an industrial lifting magnet. By keeping your magnet operating properly, you […]
