Stacked steel plates can be separated with spreading magnets. As shown above the separation of plates can be done by different arrangements of the spreading magnets at the pile of sheets. Only steel with magnetc conductivity can be separated.

The size and the amount of spreading magnets that should be used depends on the following conditions:

1. Thickness of the steel plates
2. Size of the steel plates
3. Thickness of the pile
4. Surface conditions (dry, oily, damp, rusty...)

Dry and smooth steel plates having a thickness of 0.7 to 2.0 mm will be spread using only one single spreading magnet in the middle of the pile. Please ask for our assistance when using thicker steel plates. Steel sheets with a size over 0.6 m2 - depending on the thickness of the sheets - require two magnets at opposite sides or magnets at all four edges of the pile. To calculate the required length of the magnets to be used, add 15 to 20% to the thickness of the pile of sheets. Always double the amount of magnets when having oiled sheets.

Just send us details about your application telling us the surface conditions of the plates used. We will offer the best possible solution. When using spreading magnets please pay attention to the very high magnetic attraction between two magnets and between magnets and steel parts. When using them careless injuries may happen.

Design: Equipped with anisotropic ferrite magnets (SrFe). Housing made of stainless steel. Backside stable plate with threaded holes for fastening. The SrFe magnets are stable against demagnetisation for a lifetime.
