We received a request from a French company that makes nougat. (The wonderful Nougat de Montélimar!) They wanted to have the magnets in their production facility measured in order to – in their own words – satisfy the quality standards and ensure that the magnets are still working optimally. This is also necessary in order to continue to meet the HACCP (Hygienic Critical Control Points) quality assurance standards.

Goudsmit recently built two magnets to be used for the production of iron-free carbon black by a large European manufacturer. These self-cleaning, rotating magnets remove iron particles as small as 30 microns from the very dry, poorly flowing conductive carbon black used for lithium-ion batteries.

The compact, strong magnetic gripper recently developed by Goudsmit Magnetics—known as the Powergripper—handles and holds heavy ferromagnetic parts such as rolled profiles, bar material as well as solid steel products in the shape of grilles, plates and milled parts, brake discs and steel wheels. The magnetic gripper, mounted on a robot or XYZ manipulator, picks up over 100 kg.

Goudsmit Magnetics will show a new generation of magnetic separators at the Solids & Recycling exhibition in Dortmund, Germany (stand C23-4). These are used to filter metal contaminations (>30 µm) from powders and granulates in the food, chemical, ceramic, plastics and other industries. The new Easy Cleanflow magnet stands out from the competition due to its user friendly semi-automatic cleaning, improved flow and an extreme high flux density (gauss value) of the magnet bars. Moreover, the device is pressure tight up to 2 bar!
