Using Magnom technology for the protection of heavy industrial transmissions has generated major savings by preventing transmission failures that can cost as much as $70,000 a time.
Using Magnom technology for the protection of heavy industrial transmissions has generated major savings (typically preventing transmission failure at a cost of $70,000 as evidenced by case studies on numerous applications).
The Magnom has become the only cleanable fine filtration solution applicable to the suction side of the pump in any viscosity transmission fluid, protecting both the critical pump and the transmission.
Typical markets reaping the benefit of the technology to date include: cement (kiln drive/coal pulverising), sugar (pulp presses/diffuser towers), power stations (coal pulverising), paper and pulp industries, metal rolling industries, mining industries, rubber industries and pharmaceutical industries.
The Magnom is a revolutionary product comprising a series of annular magnets and innovatively designed formed steel plates.
Through its patented design, the Magnom removes ferrous (and other) contaminant of less than 1um from a variety of transmission fluids, including those of viscosities up to 6000CSt.
This includes the smallest and most abrasive of particles that are responsible for the destructive chain reaction of wear, thus lending the technology to enhanced system protection and process performance.
Magnom is designed to allow a 100% pass of fluid through wide flow channels thus ensuring virtually zero pressure drop which is subsequently maintained as the unit fills with contaminant.
As the fluid flows through the highly focussed field effect areas, ferrous contaminants are drawn into special collection zones.
These zones hold significantly more contaminant than a conventional filter without obstructing fluid flow or risking "wash-off" commonly associated with other magnetic separation devices.
In today's commercially sensitive culture, an ever increasing drive to continually improve plant performance and eliminate cost with particular reference to plant failure, down time and ongoing spares, has ensured an unparalleled opportunity for the Magnom in the diverse field of industrial transmission protection.
Already many forward-thinking global organisations are incorporating the product into their future strategies and pushing the concept down to OEM suppliers for newly specified equipment.
FCS is fully committed to supporting this drive and to further develop the application of the technology through strategic partnerships.
