Elcan Industries, the leader in advanced material sieving and separation equipment, has set a new standard in FOD removal with its CG Electromagnetic Separator, the only one of its kind in North America that is available for testing, R&D and large scale commercial toll processing. Designed with state-of-the-art features, this separator ensures the highest levels of purity and reliability in materials designed for aerospace use.
Why FOD Removal is Essential for Aerospace Applications
FOD in raw materials can lead to catastrophic consequences, such as:
- Component failure: Contaminants can create weak points in alloys or composites used in aircraft and spacecraft.
- Operational inefficiencies: FOD can interfere with the function of high-performance systems, reducing fuel efficiency or performance.
- Regulatory compliance risks: Strict aerospace standards demand contaminant-free materials to meet safety certifications.
These risks underscore the importance of incorporating advanced separation technologies in material processing workflows.
How the CG Electromagnetic Separator Enhances FOD Removal
The CG Electromagnetic Separator by Elcan Industries is uniquely equipped to handle the rigorous demands of the aerospace industry. Key features include:
- High Magnetic Strength: With the ability to generate up to 18,500 Gauss, and 19,500 GAUSS on the CG-X model. The CG Separators efficiently removes even the smallest ferrous contaminants from materials.
- Versatility for Wet and Dry Processing: Designed to handle both wet and dry materials, this separator is adaptable to various processing needs.
- Class II Div II & UL Rating: As the only electromagnetic separator in North America with this safety rating, the CG Separator ensures safe operation in highly regulated environments.
- Vibration-Assisted Flow: To prevent clogging and ensure efficient processing, the separator uses a gentle vibration mechanism for optimal material flow with a mag hammer and can swap between multiple different screens for various applications in as little as 15 minutes by the users themselves.
- No Magnetic Leakage: Unlike traditional systems, the CG Separator contains magnetic fields, ensuring user safety and environmental protection.
Case Study: A Real-World Application in Aerospace
A leading aerospace manufacturer faced challenges removing FOD from high-value powdered metals used in their turbine blade production. After attempting to use an inferior electromagnetic separator, they turned to Elcan Industries to test their material on our high-powered CG Electromagnetic Separator. The company achieved a 99.9% purity rate, meeting their extremely stringent industry standards and reducing waste caused by rejected batches. This not only improved production efficiency but also enhanced the reliability of their final product.
