General General This user manual contains information for the correct functioning and maintenance of your magnetic device. It also contains instructions for avoiding possible injury and serious damage and allowing a safe and as trouble-free functioning of the product as possible. Read this manual thoroughly before putting the device into operation, familiarise yourself with the operation and control of the device and follow all instructions precisely.
The terms and conditions of sale are the ‘General conditions for the supply and erection of mechanical, electrical and electronic products’ (SE01), published by Orgalime in Brussels. You can request a copy of these terms and conditions by writing to Goudsmit Magnetic Systems B.V., as mentioned in our written quotation.
• Completeness of the delivery. Make sure nothing is missing, particularly anything extra you may have ordered. Always immediately contact GOUDSMIT Magnetic Systems B.V. in the event of any damage or mistaken delivery. Identification plate On the device you will find an identification plate as pictured below.
Delivery ATEX Markings (if applicable) When the equipment is suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX) the type plate will feature an Ex Marking specifying the specific device category and other criteria that the equipment satisfies. Code example: II 1/2D c T120°C Da/Db •...
If the device has been ordered for use in a potentially explosive area, make sure that no higher surface temperature arises then permitted by ATEX. The ATEX marking on the Goudsmit identification plate only applies to the product produced by Goudsmit Magnetic Systems B.V.
Safety Safety Regularly check that all warning pictograms are still present and legible, and clean if necessary. Make sure that new pictograms are applied at their correct locations if they have been lost or damaged. General The device is provided with safeguards where necessary. Make sure every person who comes in contact with the device, wears adequate personal protection (overalls, safety glasses, hearing protectors, helmet, steel-toed safety shoes etc.).

Safety People fitted with pacemakers should never enter the magnetic field (within a radius of at least one metre). Prohibited for people with pacemakers! Credit cards, chip cards, computer disks/tapes, computer screens, watches etc. may be damaged or destroyed if they enter the magnetic field (within a radius of at least 0.5 metre).
Separator specifications Separator specifications Intended use / user indications Products Suited for separating ferromagnetic* (Fe) particles out of free falling powder and granular product • streams, grain size up to 10 mm, such as plastics, flour, sugar, coffee beans, etc. Not suited for fatty powders or raw materials with particle size over 10 mm.
Separator specifications Cleaning Minimum 2x per day cleaning (Fe disposal) of the device is advised for an optimal magnetic Fe separation and to prevent Fe accumulation on the magnet bars and the problems that can be caused by that. Clean magnets have the best Fe separation result. So, make sure to clean more often than assumed to be necessary, to achieve a satisfactory result of the magnet device.
Separator specifications Working principle Product stream IN Product stream OUT Magnet bar Drawing: Cleanflow SECF Fe OUT • The SECF manual cleaning Cleanflow magnet is designed to separate Fe (ferromagnetic*) parts out of a product stream falling through the Cleanflow magnet. In the product channel 1 or more magnet bar layers are placed.

Installation Installation Transport and placing procedures Bolt a lifting lug to each of the 4 corners of the top flange of the magnet housing for stable lifting and • further transport. Keep each corner at the same level for proper alignment before installation. Pay attention to possible unequal weight distribution.
Installation Magnet bar protection • The Cleanflow SECF has fragile tubes or bushes around the magnet material for protection. These tubes and bushes have a small wall thickness, which ensures an optimal grade of Fe separation. Disadvantage is however, that large, heavy Fe and or other particles in the product flow can create bumps in the tubes and bushes, and consequently damage the magnet material underneath.
Start-up Start-up Before start-up, make sure that: • The device or the installation has no damages or malfunctions. • All connections (electrical, mechanical, pneumatic) have been made properly. • The device or the installation is placed and situated correctly. All protective covers (if applicable) have been fitted correctly. •...
If a magnet bar and or extractor tube is damaged it has to be replaced by another (spare) one immediately to prevent further damage to the magnet bar and or cleanflow. The damaged bar and or extractor tube can be sent to Goudsmit Magnetic Systems for repair/revision. Cleaning & ATEX To prevent explosion risk, avoid dust clouds and the build-up of dust layers.
Improper handling of the magnet device may lead to damages. Potential damage to body and property! • Any repair to GOUDSMIT magnet devices may be performed by qualified personnel only. • Be aware that permanent magnetic material attracts ferromagnetic material with great force when it gets in reach of the magnetic field •...
Spare parts Spare parts As a result of the robustness and quality of GOUDSMIT magnetic systems products the device possesses high operational reliability. When however a specific component requires replacement, the correct component can be ordered by quoting the type number stated on the identification plate or on one of the drawing(s) added to this user manual in the added data sheet.
Storage and Dismantling Storage and Dismantling Storage If the device will not be used for a long period of time, we advise to store the device in a dry, safe place and to conserve fragile and/or sensitive parts. Dismantling / scrapping On scrapping and/or disposal of the device’s parts separately, take into account the different nature and dangers of the components (magnets, iron, aluminium, electrical parts, insulating materials, etc.) and ensure safe disposal.
