Sheet separators - ferrite
Ferrite sheet separators are a cost-effective solution for steel sheets that do not adhere strongly to each other. These separating magnets are particularly suitable for dry and thin sheets that come apart quite easily.
- For sheets up to 4 mm thick
- Ferrite magnet
- Compact, easy installation
- No compressed air or energy supply required
- Available in various sizes
Application of a ferrite sheet separator
Sheet separators, constructed with ferrite magnets, are permanently magnetic and suitable for sheets from <1 to 4 mm thick and a stacking height of 45 to 490 mm. The magnetic field automatically forces the sheets apart and separates them one by one from the stack below. Even when they are stuck together due to oil. When the upper sheet is removed, the next one rises immediately.
Ferrite sheet separators have a steel housing, are affordable, corrosion resistant and also perform at high temperatures. Ferrite sheet separators are easy and quick to assemble and they do not require an energy supply. You can easily place them on a pallet or welding table and thus easily separate your sheet metal.
Connection/commissioning
Permanent magnetic sheet separators are easy to install. When they have been measured and positioned in the right place, they do their job flawlessly. This is precisely this product’s function: to position sheet material simply and targeted or to present it for further processing. Please note that this type of sheet separator with a permanent magnetic field is always ‘on’.
There are different types of magnetic sheet separators on the market, but Goudsmit fanner magnets stand out thanks to their construction quality. These sheet separators do their work smoothly, without malfunctions and require very little maintenance.
Installation examples
Positioning sheet separators is a precise job. When the sheet separators are properly positioned and fixed, they are extremely reliable in separating your workpieces. With the right setup, the magnetic fields of sheet separators can complement each other and separate your products reliably. Incorrect positioning can result in unstable sheet metal or conflicting magnetic forces.
Be careful when positioning and fixing your sheet separators! It is a dangerous job and you always want to avoid being trapped between the two fanner magnets or metal in the surroundings.

Working principle
Permanent magnetic sheet separators are available in various sizes. Depending on the size, longer or shorter magnets are incorporated. Due to the fact that the sheet metal is temporarily magnetically charged, the sheets repel each other. Since the strength of the magnet is the same over the entire length, this always happens with the same force. This way, permanent sheet separators do their work very predictably.
