Submersible Magnetic Conveyor for Coolant-Saturated Environments
Standard chip conveyors—even magnetic ones—aren’t designed to operate while submerged in coolant, water, or cutting fluid. The Endura-Veyor Magnetic Slide Conveyor is. Its watertight 11-gauge steel frame is built to be completely submersible, making it the right choice for applications where the conveyor must sit inside a coolant tank, collection sump, or filtration system and pull ferrous chips and fines out of the liquid rather than just transporting them across a dry surface.
With no external moving parts, the Endura-Veyor eliminates the jamming, wear, and maintenance issues that other conveyor types create in these wet, submerged, and contaminated environments. Material rides on a 12-gauge 304 stainless steel slider bed, held in place and moved forward by ceramic #8 permanent magnets beneath the deck. The internal drive chain runs through oil-filled UHMW guides that require no external lubrication—a critical advantage when the conveyor operates in coolant or water.
How the Magnetic Slide Conveyor Works
Permanent ceramic #8 magnet assemblies are enclosed in stainless steel housings and mounted on 12½” centers beneath the stainless steel slider bed. Optional magnet spacing is available in 1¼” increments for applications requiring tighter or wider coverage. As the internal #50 heavy-duty oversized roller chain moves through the oil-filled UHMW chain guides, it carries the magnet assemblies along the underside of the slider bed. Ferrous material on top of the deck follows the magnetic field, traveling along the stainless steel surface to the discharge point.
An automatic die spring take-up device maintains proper chain tension without manual adjustment—reducing maintenance in environments where access to the conveyor may be limited by tanks, guards, or other equipment. The 1″ tall slide guides on each side of the bed keep material centered during transport.
Specifications
The frame is watertight 11-gauge steel, available in widths of 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″, 16″, and 18″ with a frame height of 4¾”. The slider bed is 12-gauge 304 stainless steel. Standard incline angles include 30°, 45°, and 60°. Drive options include shaft-mounted reducers with 3-phase 230/460V motors at ¼ HP (25 FPM), ½ HP (50 FPM), and ¾ HP (80 FPM), with other speeds available on request.
Magnetic Slide Conveyor vs. NLECO Model 700
Barron Equipment offers two magnetic conveyor products for ferrous scrap. The NLECO Model 700 uses a precision roller hi-radius deck with a self-cleaning discharge head and is designed for dry or lightly coolant-wet applications where chips ride on top of the deck surface. The Endura-Veyor Magnetic Slide Conveyor uses a watertight submersible frame with a stainless steel slider bed and is designed for applications where the conveyor must operate in or through liquid—inside coolant tanks, collection sumps, or filtration systems.
Choose the Model 700 for above-surface magnetic conveying of fine ferrous chips and grinding fines. Choose the Endura-Veyor when the conveyor must be submerged, when the frame must be watertight, or when the application involves collecting ferrous material from inside a liquid environment.
Accessories and Options
The Endura-Veyor supports a wide range of accessories for specialized applications: rigidized slider beds for added durability, lifting lugs for crane installation, discharge chutes, special paint, impact plates, high-temperature chain guides, start/stop controls, leg supports, emergency stops, special incline angles, hoppers and special-height side guides, de-magnetizers for material release at discharge, extra-strength rare earth magnets for finer or lighter material, 110/230V single-phase motor options, coolant recycling tanks and hoppers, and high-temperature oil-filled frames for hot-chip applications.
