Electromagnets for sorting systems

In the industrial world, proper classification of products and materials is essential to ensure productivity and optimize logistics processes. From distribution centers and recycling plants to automated production lines, classification systems allow for the organization, separation, and direction of elements quickly and precisely.

Within these systems, electromagnets play a fundamental role, facilitating the handling and control of various materials using electromagnetic force. Thanks to their ability to operate quickly, these devices have become an indispensable solution in this sector.

How Are Electromagnets Used in Classification Systems?

Electromagnets convert electrical energy into controlled motion, activating classification mechanisms with precision. Depending on the case, they can be used for:

  • Conveyor belt diversion: Electromagnets enable the activation of gates and diversion mechanisms on product transport lines, ensuring that each item reaches its destination.
  • Positioning and holding: In industries such as food and pharmaceuticals, electromagnets help keep products in place during processing and packaging.
  • Reverse recycling systems: In this application, the electromagnet is responsible for pushing the previously identified material to its designated location.

The Most Commonly Used Electromagnets in Classification Systems:

At NAFSA, we offer a wide range of electromagnets designed to optimize classification systems across various industrial sectors. Among the most commonly used are:

ER Series – These single-acting linear electromagnets are ideal for applications requiring fast and controlled movements. They include an optional spring to facilitate return to the initial position after activation.

ERC Series – High-performance linear electromagnets with an open-frame design. Thanks to their robust construction and ability to handle heavy loads, they are used in classification systems requiring continuous and highly precise operation. They also feature an optional return spring for greater versatility.

CU Series – High-performance linear electromagnets with a square housing offer excellent stability and durability in demanding environments. Their IP40 protection rating makes them resistant to particles and external agents, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh industrial conditions.
