Magnetic Slide Conveyor
Our Magnetic Slide Conveyors are ideal for use in stamping processes, screw manufacturing, disposal of metal waste and swarf as well as heat treatment of small and sharp “hardened” stock. We deliver Magnetic Slide Conveyors specifically designed for use in stamping presses, punching machines, and chipping machine tools, as well as under floor transport to central scrap disposal stations across long distances. Stamping products (stamped and pressed parts, scrap, nails, swarf etc.) are elevated and conveyed over an anti-magnetic sliding surface as if by an invisible hand, resulting in the conveyor also being known as the “ghost-conveyor”.
Functionality
Steel parts are elevated and conveyed over an anti-magnetic sliding surface using magnets. The permanent magnet system that circulates under the sliding surface features grouped magnetic field lines, making it highly effective. It grabs hold of the steel parts, pulls them across the sliding surface and conveys them to the discharge end in the same circulating frequency speed.
All moving parts of this unique transporting system are located within the body of the machine where they are greased for life and hermetically sealed against any external intrusion. This all-round seal makes these Magnetic Slide Conveyors ideal for the use in cooling oil, quenching, and emulsion baths as well as continuous-flow washing machines. The strict separation of drive components and conveying material guarantees an extremely reliable and safe transporting system.
By using different sizes of magnets and permanent magnet systems, even flat scrap or scrap strips can be conveyed. The configuration of the magnets is chosen based on the material to be conveyed and required throughput. Options include hard ferrite or neodymium magnets, also in various combinations. To ensure maximum reliability, the magnets are glued to each other and to their carrying frame using high-strength epoxy in addition to a specially designed, spot-welded stainless-steel cover. Low conveyor frame heights enable use in areas that are limited in space.

Fields of Application
Magnetic slide conveyors are primarily used in stamping and forming technology. They are ideally suited for transporting screws, small hardware, and stamped parts that adhere magnetically. The contact-free conveying process ensures gentle, clean, and low-maintenance material handling. Their compact design and high reliability make them an efficient solution for automated production processes.

Optional Features
To ensure that every magnetic slide conveyor is optimally matched to the respective process, a wide range of optional features and configuration possibilities is available – functionally well-engineered, durable, and flexibly combinable.
Control Box
Control boxes enable safe intermediate storage and controlled batch transfer within the production process.
Demagnetizing Coil
Demagnetization coils remove residual magnetism using a strong electromagnetic alternating field.
Castors
Castors enable easy maneuverability and precise positioning of the magnetic slide conveyor.
Multi-Track Switch
Chutes enable targeted distribution of the conveyed material into multiple containers – controlled manually, electrically, or pneumatically.
Advantages
Magnetic slide conveyors impress with a compact, enclosed design and maximum operational safety. The low-maintenance systems allow individually configurable routing and, thanks to their sealed construction, are suitable for a wide range of applications. Durability, precision, and safety make them a reliable solution for automated parts conveying.
