Sheet Separators

IMG_7197

MPI’s Standard Sheet Separators (SS Series) meet the needs of demanding manufacturing environments. They are designed to improve productivity and employee safety in sheet handling operations. These magnets can also provide significant benefits in reducing costs by eliminating “doubles” when handling oily, sticky, or pre-finished sheet stock in an automated stamping, forming, or shearing operations.

Stack Tracker

STSS-CUTOUT

Available in a Standard and Safety version, MPI is proud to offer the safest manually operated Sheet Separator on the market. With the operator in mind, these units properly separate sheets while eliminating pinch points during operation. MPI’s Stack Tracker is manufactured to meet the demanding needs of metal forming production environments. The Stack Tracker significantly increases uptime by eliminating the possibility of double sheets when handling oily, sticky or pre-finished blanks in automated stamping, forming and shearing operations.

Pneumatic Automated Fanner Magnet

PAFM-No-Bracket

Automated fanner magnets are designed for high-volume, PLC-operated production lines. Unlike traditional sheet separators, our exclusive system retracts the magnet away from the unit face, eliminating any residual magnetic field and allowing for safer and more consistent movement of metal sheets. MPI’s pneumatic automated fanner magnets significantly increase uptime by eliminating “double sheets” when handling oily, sticky or pre-finished blanks in automated stamping, forming and shearing operations.

  • Eliminates residual magnetic field when off, improving operator safety
  • Increasing productivity and efficiency
  • Enables easier handling of oily, sticky, polished sheets
  • Powerful rare earth permanent magnet for fanning large sheets

Magnetic Rails and Pulleys

BR

MPI’s Magnetic Rails and Pulleys are designed for easy installation into new or existing belted conveyors or other material handling equipment. Magnetic Box Rails are used to hold and position ferrous or partly ferrous parts. They are ideal for use in “can handling” conveyor systems. The rail’s strong magnetic field is completely contained within the working surface and is extremely effective in applications which require a high “reachout” magnetic field. Magnetic Box Rails are used to:

  • Save floor space by elevating parts up steep inclines or vertically
  • Change direction of moving parts quickly
  • Control the speed of moving parts to accelerate or decelerate
  • Stabilize and hold parts in position
  • Magnetically separate ferrous parts from non-ferrous materials in conveying and processing lines

Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter

PMPL-Large-Unit

MPI’s Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter PMPL Series is designed for ferrous parts and the direct replacement of vacuum cups located on ferrous parts transfer systems.

MPI’s exclusive “Fail Safe” feature is built into each magnet. Once the powerful permanent magnet is engaged, only air pressure in the reverse “off” direction will disengage the unit, even if the airline is disconnected or loses pressure. This process ensures a positive connection between your parts and the working surface of the Permanent Magnetic Parts Lifter.

Vibratory Feeder Conveyors

VibratoryFeeder

MPI’s pneumatically driven vibratory feeder conveyors offer an efficient and affordable way to feed materials. They are available in a variety of models and are designed to handle product volumes up to eight (8) tons per hour.
