Alliance, Ohio

At Winkle Industries, we understand the pivotal role scrap magnets play in industrial settings, particularly in scrapyards and metal recycling businesses. To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your investment, proper maintenance is crucial. In this blog post, we'll guide you through essential tips on maintaining and extending the lifespan of your scrap magnets, helping you get the most out of your equipment.

Understanding the Importance of Maintenance:

Regular maintenance not only enhances the performance of your scrap magnets but also prevents downtime, reduces repair costs, and extends the overall lifespan of the equipment. Let's delve into some key maintenance practices to keep your scrap magnets in top condition.

Inspection and Cleaning:

Conduct regular inspections of your scrap magnets to identify any signs of wear, damage, or debris buildup. Clean the magnet surfaces to ensure optimal contact with materials. Winkle Industries offers scrap magnets designed for easy cleaning, facilitating efficient maintenance.

Lubrication:

Proper lubrication is essential for the moving parts of your scrap magnets. Regularly check and lubricate bearings, joints, and other components to minimize friction and reduce wear. This simple step can significantly extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Electrical Components Check:

For electric scrap magnets, inspect the electrical components regularly. Ensure that connections are secure, and there are no signs of damage or corrosion. Winkle Industries' scrap magnets are built with durable electrical components, but routine checks are essential for optimal performance.

Adjustment of Controls:

Periodically review and adjust the controls to ensure they are calibrated correctly. This ensures precise and efficient operation, preventing unnecessary strain on the magnet and its components.

Environmental Considerations:

Be mindful of the operating environment. If your scrap magnets are exposed to harsh conditions, consider additional protective measures, such as covers or enclosures. Winkle Industries' magnets are designed to withstand challenging environments, but extra precautions can enhance their durability.
