Steinert 1.6 metre wide electromagnetic over band repair
Date published: January 17, 2022
A recycling yard in the West Midlands recently sent their over band magnet in for repair which required the bottom manganese plate replacing after years of service. Our works removed the old one and cleaned all windings, replacing damaged insulation and re-varnishing coils. Then we folded the new 6mm plate to match the original non magnetic plate. This was then followed by fully welding the plate back into position. All bearings on the tail and head drum were replaced as well as rewinding the drive motor and servicing the gearbox. The completely refurbed unit was returned to site where we assisted in it’s installation.
Drum Skin Replacement On Site Service
In August 2013, EPMS Limited provided a full drum skin replacement service for a Steinert drum magnet, conducted entirely on-site over the bank holiday weekend. Our team of experienced personnel, along with specialized equipment, worked efficiently over three days to complete the repair.The process began with the manufacturing of a new drum skin at our Birmingham facility, which was then delivered to the customer site along with all the necessary tools to remove the end flanges and replace the worn skin. In addition to the skin replacement, we also replaced both bearings, supplied and fitted a new duplex drive sprocket, and cleaned the windings before reassembling the drum magnet.By completing the refurbishment on-site, we helped the customer avoid expensive low loader transport costs and minimized plant downtime, ensuring that operations resumed quickly.The success of this service left our customer so satisfied that they are now planning to have their second drum magnet serviced as well. EPMS Limited is proud to offer this on-site service to all drum magnet users across the UK, providing a convenient, cost-effective solution that keeps equipment running smoothly.
