Model 336 Magnetic Furnace Unloader

The Model 366 Magnetic Furnace Unloader provides an automatic method for unloading metal (ferrous) parts from any furnace belt or other moving conveyor. Contact us today to speak to an engineer about your application.

How Does It Work?

When a row of parts is detected, the unloader lowers to the pick position, where the parts are then magnetically attracted to the unloader belt conveyor. Once the parts are on the belt, the mag unloader raises and then the belt conveyor turns on conveying the parts onto an integrated transfer conveyor. Note: Parts must be presented to the unloader in a straight line. The line of parts may be at a right angle to the belt or at an angle.

The sinter plates travel down vibratory brushed conveyors where they are returned to the front of the sinter furnace and the parts travel down steel tabletop chain conveyors where they are further processed.

Also, note the narrow width of the Model 366 Magnetic Unloader allows it to be positioned on furnaces with short unload tables.
