General Information Magnet Dings Model: Dings Part Number: Dings Serial Number: Warnings: The magnet must be positioned or guarded so that no contact can be made with moving parts while the magnet is in operation. CAUTION: STRONG MAGNET Strong magnetic field may have an affect on pacemakers and other electrical devices. Please contact the device manufacturer for further information. Operating Temperature: Ceramic magnets: -40°F through 250°F (-40°C through 120°C).
Installation Procedures Unpacking and Handling Upon receiving, check all packaged material for shortage of parts and possible damage. Report shortages and damage to the carrier who delivered shipment. The magnet was shipped fully assembled, ready for operation. If a material deflector was supplied, it was shipped separately and must be bolted on before operation. Magnet This Dings self-cleaning permanent magnet was shipped using 4” x 6” wooden beams as supports under the two sides of the magnet.
Recommended Storage of Overhead Magnets 1) On a self-cleaner, remove tension from drive belts and conveyor belts. 2) The following precautionary procedures are recommended: a) Store magnet indoors in a low humidity, even temperature environment if possible. b) Keep water and any other form of moisture away from the magnet while in storage. 3) This is a procedure for indoor storage only. Outdoor storage is definitely not advised and will null and void our warranty on the magnet assembly.
INSTALLATION A Self-Cleaning permanent overhead magnet is built in 2 types: Inline and Crossbelt. An Inline type is installed over a conveyor head pulley so that the cleaning belt runs parallel to the travel direction of material falling off the conveyor. The head pulley must be made from non-magnetic material. A Crossbelt type is installed over a conveyor so that the cleaning belt runs at a right angle to the travel direction of the material on the conveyor.

LOOKING AT THE TAKE-UP END OF THE MAGNET: 2 PULLEY DESIGN: TO MOVE BELT LEFT, TIGHTEN THE RIGHT TAKE-UP TO MOVE BELT TO RIGHT, TIGHTEN THE LEFT TAKE-UP Belt track and tension should be checked at least every three hours for the first two days of operation.
PROCEDURE TO REPLACE DINGS HINGED SPLICE BELTS ON OVERHEAD MAGNETIC SEPARATORS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. After the removal of the original or damaged belt, both take-ups should be taken in as far as they can go. The new replacement belt should d be laid out flat underneath the separator, cleats facing down. Draw both ends of the belt together so that the splice hinge pin can be installed.
