Steel Mills
Metal Working
Service Centers
Warehouses
Shipping and Receiving
Fabricating Areas
Shipyards
Benefits:
Handle bundles quicker
Reduce dunnage cost
Reduce manpower
Increase storage capacity
Safer working environment
Can be used with fixed beams, rotating beams and expandable beams
Billets
JOFOV provides heavy steel mill duty magnets for handling hot or cold, billets, slabs, and rail. JOFOV billet and rail handling magnets are available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate your application. Because the majority of our magnets are welded, fabricated designs, we can customize the size as well as many optional features.
There are two basic magnetic circuits that we use in the designing and building of these magnets; The well recognized “GRABBER” three-pole design and the “BI-POLAR” two-pole design.
The Grabber magnet was developed to help mills that were having difficulty lifting full layers of billets due to the air gaps between the magnet’s face and the billets. These gaps are not unusual in normal steel mill production and it was time consuming to make return trips to retrieve bent billets that were not lifted the first time. Walker engineers designed billet magnets with very high penetrating power that were able to “snap-up” the bent billets, making full, dynamic lifts.
Coils
JOFOV lift magnets are the easiest, fastest and most economical way to lift and handle steels coils. Since the magnet is in contact and holding only the top of the coil, potential coil damage is virtually eliminated. We have the ability to lift coils in the vertical or horizontal orientation.
Used in:
Annealing shops
Metal Working
Service Centers
Warehouses
Shipping and Receiving
Fabricating Areas
Benefits:
No damage to coils while handling
Only one operator is needed – freeing up man power
Less storage area is needed – reducing floor space
