Magnet plate YGML series

for automotive applicationsepoxy-coatedencapsulated

Overview
An electromagnetic excavator magnet from the YGML series is an electrically powered plate designed to pick up and release ferrous items on demand. It accelerates scrap sorting and material handling while reducing manual slinging. Units are built with sealed, moisture‑resistant housings for use in wet conditions; specific underwater models include additional potting and anti‑corrosion sealing.

How it works and operator guidance

• Powered coil generates a magnetic field that attracts steel; cutting power releases the load cleanly.
• Sealed construction enables wet‑site operation; submerged use requires the dedicated underwater configuration.
• Prolonged continuous operation heats the coil, increasing electrical resistance and reducing lift force by approximately 15–20% — plan duty cycles accordingly.
• Operator recommendations: rest the magnet flat on loose iron before energizing; avoid touching the bottom plate with bare hands immediately after power‑off due to residual heat; inspect junction box seals regularly to prevent water ingress and shorts.

Models and specifications

• YGML02 — Suitable carrier: 4–6 t; Weight: 1400 kg; Power: 5 kW; Outer Ø: 700 mm; Flow: 30–55 l/min; Pressure: 170 bar — small scrap yards, mini excavator cleanup.

• YGML08 — 17–23 t; 2000 kg; 10 kW; 1100 mm; 100–140 l/min; 200 bar — medium scrap yards, bundled steel handling.
• YGML10 — 24–30 t; 2200 kg; 10 kW; 1200 mm; 130–170 l/min; 210 bar — large scrap transfer yards, rail stacking.
• YGML14 — 31–40 t; 2500 kg; 15 kW; 1300 mm; 200–250 l/min; 250 bar — shipbreaking, steel mills, heavy loading.
• YGML20 — 41–50 t; 2800 kg; 15 kW; 1400 mm; 250–320 l/min; 250 bar — port terminals, heavy slag, oversized scrap handling.

Typical deployment sites

• Scrap yards and auto dismantlers: sweeping loose and bundled scrap, plates and shredded frames.
• Demolition and waste processing: extracting buried rebar and tie wire from concrete rubble to improve recovered steel quality.
• Railway maintenance: lifting rails, tie plates and track bolts for stacking and loading.
• Integrated site workflows: used with cutting attachments, grapples and screening buckets to streamline sorting and processing.

Control and power options

• 24 V DC control box — connects to excavator battery for smaller models and simple installations.
• Hydraulic generator (auxiliary oil‑driven generator) — provides stable voltage and higher continuous magnetic lift for heavy, continuous applications.

Frequently asked points

• Expect a 15–20% reduction in magnetic force during long continuous cycles due to coil heating; select appropriate coil grade and manage duty cycles.
• Underwater operation is possible only with certified submerged models featuring waterproof potting resin and anti‑corrosion sealing.
