Eriez ‘Charging’ Into 2007 with Stronger Magnets

Eriez Magnetics Europe Limited has purchased the world’s largest industrial magnetiser in order to handle their increasing order volume. The major investment of £140,000 follows a period of continued expansion by Europe’s leading magnetic separation equipment supplier, part of the global Eriez Manufacturing group.

The charger will be used to magnetise permanent magnetic assemblies such as the Overband Suspended Permanent Magnets commonly used on mobile crushers. Eriez manufactures over 1,400 Overbands annually and as orders for the products continue to increase, this extra demand can be met .

The key benefit for customers is a 20% increase in magnetic pull without an increase in the selling price. This has been achieved by radically reviewing the magnet design in terms of magnetic materials and charging techniques. These new stronger Overband magnets are available for shipment within one week of order.

Andy Lewis, Managing Director at Eriez Europe, said following the installation: ‘The investment in the charger strengthens our commitment to providing customers with optimum performing products at the greatest value possible. As the company continues to grow, we are constantly looking at ways to improve our products and to sustain our position as market leaders’.
