EVERTZ Magnetbau – Quality is not a matter of chance

EVERTZ Magnetbau GmbH & Co. KG (which is part of the Evertz Group), has been active in the field of lifting magnets since 1986 and possesses extensive experience and expertise in the construction of electro-magnets. The company is certificated and compliant with ISO 9001:2008 and DIN EN ISO 9001:2008.

EVERTZ Magnetbau GmbH & Co. KG designs and manufactures electro-magnets, customized power supply systems compliant with DIN EN 13155 including load rectifiers and back-up batteries as well as cross-beams according to crane construction standards. Evertz supplies complete turn key solutions for the handling of ferromagnetic loads … safely, quickly and economically.

 

The magnet housings are manufactured either from castings (material GS 45) or alternatively from a robust steel structure (material S355J2G3) with high magnetic conductivity properties. The most important component of any electro-magnet is the induction coil which can be made of copper or aluminium.

 

Our lifting magnets are designed for the tough and arduous operating conditions that are commonplace in today’s heavy industries. We strive to achieve the highest levels of quality to ensure that our customers get maximum service lives from our magnets.

 

Magnet systems represent the most rational and efficient solution for the lifting and handling of ferromagnetic loads. Picking up and releasing products can be achieved more rapidly and more safely compared to conventional lifting equipment. The large load contact area prevents damage. Denser storage space occupancy and optimum working safety are further advantages.

 Evertz produces a complete range including round, rectangular, slab, coil, scrap, billet and special magnets. In addition to the EVERTZ standard magnets special one-off magnets as well as complete systems can be designed and manufactured to meet specific customer requests. All magnets are designed in accordance with certified standards and with double lifting security in order to achieve maximum safety. In each case suspension of the magnets is matched to the particular client’s environment. Once again our highest priority is given to safety and customer satisfaction.

 The result of a successful joint development with Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH

( SZFG ) and SZST ( Salzgitter Service und Technik GmbH ) produced our innovative "gentle" slab turning magnet. This magnet transports and turns slabs up to 40 tonnes and hot up to 500°C in a "gentle", jolt-free manner. In comparison with fixed hydraulic mechanical slab turners maintenance costs are eliminated and the cycle time shortened because turning can be carried out by the crane anywhere. Only a fraction of the procurement costs arise and in addition no foundation work is required. Maintenance of the turning system and disposal of the used hydraulic oil are eliminated.

 Another EVERTZ Magnetbau innovation relates to several different coil systems which can turn coils using the crane – even while it’s moving. Coil weights up to 25 tonnes can be picked up and set down either in the horizontal or vertical plane. In this way the continuously increasing capacity can be readily handled and cycle times shortened. Here again the crane movements to a fixed coil turning device are eliminated, wage costs are reduced and damage to the coils from being picked up and put down several times eliminated. In addition to manufacturing new magnets, EVERTZ Magnetbau GmbH & Co.naturally also repairs electro magnets of any make or model. During the repair period we can lend you a temporary magnet from our range of stock. No matter whether it is for handling slabs or scrap, we hold available for our customers a wide range of loan magnets. These can be provided at short notice for bottlenecks or emergency situations. In this way smooth production is guaranteed for our customer's and production stoppages avoided. These loan magnets are - like all our magnets – fully tested, approved and ready for immediate use.

Finally EVERTZ Magnetbau can offer to check your current magnets and is available to assist you at any time for the preparation of internal testing instructions and procedures.
