Newmagnetic separator

▲ ▲ Woywod’s magnetic separators are available in three different sizes

Dies and tools play a crucial part in the wire and cable industries. For 40 years, Ajex & Turner has been developing future- oriented in-house PCD die polishing and grinding machines that can repeat the drill, grinding and machining sequence as many times as required. performs grinding and polishing of angles and bearing in one operation, saving time and energy. At the completion of the program, sensors make the drill head rise and the next die can be worked immediately, with the same or a modified program. The machine operates at very high speed and can recondition dies in a short time The company’s SAU-150 Woywod Kunststoffmaschinen GmbH & Co has introduced new products for dosing and mixing. Along with the new dosing unit range with the Plasticolor 3500, maintenance-free motors, new hopper loader series and compact Venturi hopper loader, the company has developed a range of ferromagnetic metal separators. The magnetic separators offer reliable and safe protection for the production machine, as they catch metallic foreign objects and ensure a perfect material flow. The stainless steel housing is corrosion- resistant, and the large sight glass allows easy visual control. The housing geo- metry was shaped by the company’s decades of experience in the plastics processing industry. The separator can be easily cleaned by pulling out the magnetic cassette and safely removing the magnets from the stripping sleeves outside the system.

period. It provides accurate and precise angles on re-cut dies. Customers can achieve a mirror polish using Ajex diamond powder and steel pins with compressed air pressure. Needle changing is simple, and up to 20 dies can be worked with a single needle. The 150V ultrasonic generator works at a very high speed. The machine is suitable for die hole sizes of 0.1 to 4mm. It runs on 220/240V and is air cooled, and uses a European design, developed in India. Ajex & Turner www.ajexturner.com Metallic foreign objects are caught on scraper rings when the magnets are pulled out. The magnetic separators are available in three sizes to suit different production lines. All models are suitable for granules and free-flowing powders, and can be installed between the intake of the processing machine and the machine hopper or on the existing dosing system. Woywod has been manufacturing dosing units, volumetric and gravimetric mixing stations, hopper loaders and drying systems for granular, free-flowing and non-sticky material for nearly 50 years. Areas of application are all manufacturing processes of extrusion, blow moulding and injection moulding. The Plasticolor system is used by plastics processors and manufacturers of extrusion and injection moulding machines worldwide. Woywod Kunststoffmaschinen GmbH & Co Vertriebs-KG www.woywod.de
