Conveyor Belt Demagnetisation System
The FLUXRITE mkII Belt Demagnetisation System is the first of its kind, designed to enhance tramp metal detection on steel cord conveyor belts by reducing residual magnetism. This system, installed permanently beneath the belt, reduces magnetic flux in the belt's splices by up to 95%, preventing false trips and undetected tramp metal incidents that can result from magnetised cords. The FluxRite mkII is Essential for conveyors exposed to tramp metal magnets, scanning equipment, or strong electrical currents, the FLUXRITE mkII ensures optimal detection performance and operational reliability, addressing a critical need in heavy-duty material handling environments.
Eliminate your TMD false trips with the FluxRite
Why Install a FluxRite System
The FluxRite Belt Demagnetisation System is essential for maintaining the accuracy of tramp metal detectors (TMD) on steel cord conveyor belts. Magnetism introduced into the steel cords by tramp metal magnets, belt scanning systems strong electrical currents can reduce the TMD effectiveness, leading to false trips or missed detections. Magnetised cords may trigger the TMD without any actual tramp metal present, or operators may decrease TMD sensitivity in an attempt to stop the false tripping, allowing tramp metal to pass undetected. By eliminating residual magnetism, FluxRite ensures reliable detection and prevents costly operational disruptions.
How It Works
The FluxRite Belt Demagnetisation System is engineered to effectively reduce intense magnetic flux pockets in steel cord belt splices. Using multiple conditioning heads positioned beneath the belt’s carry side, the system leverages belt speed to rapidly reverse magnetic polarity, normalizing and attenuating flux levels. As magnetized splices pass over the conditioning heads, the swift polarity shift and gradual increase in head distance complete the demagnetisation process, achieving up to a 95% reduction in magnetic flux. This enhancement optimizes the performance and accuracy of tramp metal detectors, boosting overall operational efficiency.
Magnetic Flux Leakage Reduction
The comparative Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) results highlight a significant reduction in magnetic flux achieved by the system. Before installation, the highest peak measured 4496.1 mG, while after installation, it dropped dramatically to 431.1 mG. This substantial decrease demonstrates the system's effectiveness in reducing magnetic flux levels.
