Cleaning of the Magnetic Broom for Airports
Cleaning the magnetic broom is very easy and safe. The magnets are housed in a stainless steel case. Pull the demagnetizing levers to move the magnets to the vertical position. This will increase the distance between the magnet and the stainless steel cover sheet and the trapped metals fall off spontaneously.
The advantage is that you choose the FOD Box from the optional equipment. A broom equipped with this box not only has better aerodynamic properties and pressing force (useful at higher speeds when traveling between surfaces to be cleaned), but in particular, it will speed up cleaning. The box which is placed in the upper part of the device during operation, can be easily removed and placed under the magnetic broom. When cleaning, all the metals fall into this box. You can easily dump them into the designated container. This eliminates the need to pick up (sweep) metals from the ground after demagnetization.
Even Faster and More Comfortable Cleaning?
Magnetic brooms can be equipped with the EasyDemag module, which allows quick and easy demagnetization of the broom and release of trapped metal contaminants. This module substantially simplifies and speeds up the work. The electric demagnetization mechanism is powered by a battery located on the broom drawbar. There are two control options available:
- Remote control demagnetization – allows you to clean the broom directly from the vehicle. It is very comfortable and fast.
- Control via the broom buttons
Magnetic Broom for Different Surfaces
The magnetic broom is height adjustable from 30 to 200 mm, which allows operation even on uneven surfaces such as panel roads (the broom can also pick up metals from gaps between panels), grassy surfaces, or gravel surfaces. The height adjustment is also appreciated at the airport where the magnetic broom must have sufficient clearance when crossing between runways on service roads.
Magnetic brooms are fitted with permanent ferrite magnets as standard, but we can also fit them with very strong neodymium magnets on request. Due to the permanent magnets used, no power supply is required for the separation function of the broom.
The difference in the strength of the magnets is seen in the table below.
| Distance from Surface (mm) | 0 | 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Neodymium Magnets (Gauss) | 8000 | 888 | 302 | 131 | 65 | |
| Ferrite Magnets (Gauss) | 1600 | 807 | 345 | 179 | 114 | 73 |
Cleaning the Cycle Paths
The MS FALCON magnetic broom is often used for cleaning cycle paths and other roads of metal waste. This prevents tire punctures caused by nails and other sharp metal objects.
Connection and Power Supply of the Airport Magnetic Broom
The magnetic broom is equipped with a removable and adjustable pulling device. The broom can thus be attached to the towing device of a car, tractor, brushing machine, or other equipment. Installation is thus very easy and its use is universal.
Power supply for the electrical components and lighting is from the towing vehicle – usually 12 V, 7-pin socket. We will manufacture the broom to be adapted to the power supply of the towing vehicle.
