Eriez continues to elevate industry standards for material handling solutions with the expansion of its air-operated Full-Coverage Lift Magnet product line. This underscores the company’s ongoing dedication to innovation and performance within the metalworking industry. 

Eriez Full-Coverage Lift Magnets have proven their efficacy among customers, quadrupling the output of burn tables while ensuring operational safety. Recent upgrades to this line include: 
 

• New Size Options: Eriez has introduced a variety of new sizes specifically designed for high-volume cutting applications. This caters to a broader range of industrial needs, ensuring that more clients can benefit from the highly specialized capabilities offered. 
• New Features: Customized air-operated models are now available, enhancing usability and efficiency. With simplified operational setup, users can realize the full potential of lifting magnets without the need for additional equipment. 

 
Eriez Full Coverage Lifting Magnets streamline an otherwise time-consuming process by utilizing a large, full-contact magnetic surface area that can move multiple cut parts from the burn table in a single lift. Because the magnetic circuit design eliminates gaps on the surface, these magnets can also handle skeletons with ease. 

By maximizing the contact area with metal loads, the full-coverage design significantly improves handling capacity and operational speed. Incorporating this equipment also reduces the risk of operators breaking protocol by walking or climbing on the burn table surface—an extremely dangerous practice that puts workers’ safety in jeopardy. 

Another key benefit of Eriez’ Full-Coverage Lift Magnets is their ability to pick up single sheets of thinner material from a stack for table loading, down to 3/16” sheet, which eliminates the need for spacers between sheets and improves process speed.  
 “This product line expansion demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhanced productivity and safety in the metalworking industry,” says Andy Kloecker, Eriez-USA Metalworking Market Manager. “Far more than just a lifting device, our Full-Coverage Lift Magnets are a critical production component in optimizing workflow and maximizing output on burn tables.” 

Requiring only an overhead hoist and an air supply, the operation of the system is simple and straightforward. The lift magnet’s solenoid valve can be wired into existing crane controls—whether it is a wired pendant control or hands-free radio control—while the air source can flow from shop air, a dedicated compressor on the crane bridge, or the new on-board compressor. The permanent magnetic circuit eliminates costly lift magnet controllers and production interruptions caused by power failures. The system is also very energy-efficient, needing only a small amount of air to cycle fully. 
 
The modular design of Eriez’ upgraded Full-Coverage Lift Magnet product line is customizable in a wide range of sizes for businesses seeking to streamline their metalworking operations.
