The complete line of Winkle scrap handling magnets, now called OptiMag has been redesigned and additions have been made using new proprietary engineering software to achieve lighter weights, increased lifting capacity and lower costs for recyclers and steel mills. The new Winkle catalog provides basic specifications for all scrap magnets. The line-up includes both cast and fabricated casings, aluminum and copper coils and ranges in size from 76 cm to over 254 cm in diameter, as well as a full range of rectangular and octagonal magnets. The scrap magnets are designated according to their design type and are engineered to achieve optimum lift-to-weight ratios and superior duty cycles without sacrificing strength and durability. Winkle also designs and manufactures an unlimited range of specialized lifting magnets for unique customer requirements. Winkle was an early pioneer in computer-aided modeling and design for lifting magnets. The company’s original modeling data was supported through live field trials comparing varied designs and sizes. Since then, Winkle engineering has continued to review and refine its 3D proprietary modeling software for greater precision in simulating actual field conditions in a variety of applications. Winkle was also the leader in designing magnets to keep up with the faster duty cycles of today’s purpose-built scrap handling equipment. As a result, all Winkle magnets are designed with true 75% continuous duty cycles, based on a 24/7 operation. At Winkle, the OptiMag lifting magnets are engineered and manufactured using strap-wound deep-field and extra-deep field coils in Winkle’s facility. Winkle has a long history of rebuilding and rewinding all makes and models of electromagnets, including units for separation and brake coils for magnetically driven crane brakes. For scrap recyclers, Mr. Predagovic says that his Rebuild capabilities can reduce costs associated with rebuilding strap-wound magnets by cleaning and recovering conductor from the used coil.
