
5

The enterprises are obligated to execute following regulations to ensure operators'
safety.
①The guard of the coupling must be mounted at any time and kept in place. It is very
dangerous when they are opened or dismantled. It may cause casualty accident.
②Keep the safety limit switches in good order. Never bypass or discard them.
③Switch the drive motor off completely to stop the equipment for inspection,
commissioning, repair and maintenance, which can be accomplished through a
full-phase cut-off and lockable switch installed near the equipment or on the
operation desk or the control panel on site. It is not enough only to screw off the
fuse wire!
④If the equipment needs other energy such as pneumatic, hydraulic, steam or hot
water, it is necessary to cut off the energy supply or turn off the switches, and to
release the pressure in the internal pipeline system of the equipment.
⑤As for handling heated or cooled parts and components of the equipment, watch for
the danger of burning or scalding as well as frostbiting.
⑥If you have pressed the emergency-stop switch to shut down the equipment and
you want to reset the switch, it is not permissible to only re-press this button rather
to turn on the main switch to restart the equipment.
⑦If some equipment is equipped with a partial shutdown system, special care should
be exercised. Read the instruction manuals attached to the equipment carefully. In
such equipment with a partial shutdown system, temperature will rise because
pressure or vacuum will build up if in service for a while.
⑧leaning, lubricating and oiling of the equipment or its parts and components may
go only when the equipment is not in running. If you have to climb on or enter the
equipment to do such work, the following rule shall be mandatory without exception:
cut the motor power supply off completely and lock out the switch with warning tag
attached. Take safety measures for climbing as well.
⑨Be careful: never do sampling from inside of the equipment unless there is no
danger. Usually, the samples can be taken from the pipe under the equipment
rather than inside of equipment.
⑩lean out the deposited dust, dirt and extra materials frequently. Keeping the
equipment clean can enhance production safety and the housekeeping level of
workshop and is also beneficial to prevention of dust explosion.

1-5
⑪In case of oil (grease) leakage, clean it up immediately and seal well the place
where leakage occurs. Oil or grease leakage on the floor will easily bring hazards
to the operators.
⑫During operation, the equipment must be equipped with safety devices, which may
be neither removed/abandoned nor reduced in functions. Otherwise, FAMSUN will
not be responsible for any accidents resulted wherefrom, and will reserve the right
to ascertain where the responsibility lies.


General housekeeping

Keeping the work place free of combustible dusts is an essential condition for
production safety.

Do not pile bagged or bulk materials up between machines.

In order to reduce dust emission to surrounding areas, keep all conveying devices,
cyclone, and filter bags in good condition without any leakage especially at pipes
and covers of the conveying devices.

In order to reduce dust explosion hazard, clean dusts out frequently and effectively
everywhere.

Keep all motors free of deposited dusts.



Electric apparatus
Regularly check the electric apparatus and articles and keep the following in mind:

Do not use any flashlights and other lamps without shielding or explosion-proof
glass.

Do not use any extra-long cables or electric heater.

Repair or replace the electric apparatus and equipment immediately if any failure
occurs.

Do not install the cables without conduits on the floor.



Smoking and welding

Smoking is forbidden, which is applicable to all workers and staff of the enterprise

1-6
as well as guests, customers, outcomers, and drivers visiting the plant.

If in need to use the tools such as welding equipment or soldering lamp (flame
soldering lamp) etc. for repair or installation, do as best as possible to arrange the
work in a special workshop or on a designated site.

In case of occasional welding or the like work directly in production area or
warehouse, submit a written application to the supervisor in charge beforehand for
written approval. Perform such operations only with specific safety measures in
place, such as laying water soaked canvas or the covering canvas special for the
surrounding area with fire extinguishers readily available. After completion of the
operation, monitor the welding site and the surrounding area for at least 10 hours.

The gas cutting sparks are very dangerous. They can travel across through the
narrow clearance of walls and drop downstairs or to the next rooms, or even fly off
10m away in distance. If the sparks drop in dusts, fire accident may occur at any
time.

Welding is prohibited on a running conveyor. If the welding work is required, shut
down the equipment first, and then make a thorough cleaning and isolate both
sides of the welding site securely with materials like mineral wool to avoid
connections with other conveying devices, silos or tanks. If the work is to be done
on the chutes or conveying pipes, it is necessary to disassemble them or
disconnect their lower ends with silo or tank and seal them to avoid welding sparks
entering the conveying pipes or silos.


1

ylindrical housing
The cylindrical housing supports the magnetic core in place and allows a pathway for
the material flow to go through. Wholly made of welded stainless plates, it provides
material inlet at the top and material outlet at the bottom.



Permanent magnet element
The permanent magnet element is composed of outer drum, magnetic block and
magnet pole plates. The outer drum is in stainless steel while magnetic block is of
high-performance composite permanent magnetic material.

3

Door
The door holds the permanent magnet element at position. The door allows regular
cleaning of ferrous metal inclusion adhered to the surface of the magnet pole plates
when open.
2.2.2 Working principle
The materials carrying granular particles (mealy powder) along with ferromagnetic
metal inclusion enter into the cylindrical housing via the inlet of the magnet and form
fairly even annular flow around the magnetic core. The ferromagnetic metal inclusion
will adhere to the surface of the magnet pole plates due to magnetization by the
magnetic field whereas the granular (mealy) materials shall flow through out via the
outlet at the bottom. Hence, the separation of metal impurities is achieved.
