Manual Load Transfer Systems

Parts cleaning and metal treatment processes often require multi-stage processes. Magnus tanks are modular and may be arranged in a line to provide multi-stage process systems. Stages may include:

  • pre-wash
  • electro-clean
  • etch
  • phosphate
  • rust protection
  • ultrasonic wash
  • rinse
  • pickle
  • seal
  • spray stages (standard and high pressure)

 

These stages may be combined with Magnus dryers or blow offs as well as other operations such as demagnetizers, detail booths, inspection booths, dip coaters, etc.

Features:

  • parts movement through these systems is facilitated by use of roller conveyors on the platforms and interconnecting sections
  • operators manually transfer the load from stage to stage over roller conveyors
  • sequentially moving baskets, allows all stages to be used at the same time for maximum system capacity
  • conveyor turns may be configured into an "L" or "U" shape where space prohibits a straight line system
  • stages can be equipped using optional cycle timers to notify the operator when a stage is completed
  • roll over lids are available so that a basket may pass over an occupied stage if desired
  • systems may be provided with partial tunnels to provide ventilation and exhaust control

 

Since the machines are modular in design, stages may be added or rearranged as needed at a future date.

Automatic Load Transfer Systems

Fully automatic load transfer systems are available for large production volumes in situations where labor reduction is warranted or where process control is critical. These systems may be configured with all of the stages and options available for manual load transfer systems.

Features:

  • fully automated operation from point of load to unload
  • each stage may be programmed separately with sequences including soak, agitation short stroke, agitation long stroke, drain, ultrasonics (if included), electro-clean (if included), and rotation (if included)
  • pusher beam design accomplished transfers (Magnus has 35 years experience with pusher beam transfer)
  • smooth and reliable operation, PLC control and supervision with proximity switches monitor position of all key elements to prove condition before transfer
  • automatic queuing of baskets at entry available for unattended operation
  • parts are simultaneously processed in each stage to provide maximum system capability
  • process is completely enclosed in a tunnel to provide ventilation control and guarding
  • available for aqueous and compliant solvent processes
  • tumbling or restrained rotation available

Options:

  • dryers, blow-offs, spray, high pressure spray, demagnetizers, additional stages available in addition to immersion agitation stages
  • return conveyors
  • data collection packages
