Brake Magnets

At CANLINE, our expertise lies in the design and production of custom break magnet systems to perfectly complement your unique conveying lines. Our brake magnet systems optimize the can and end production process. We deliver tailor-made solutions that can precisely control cup and can speeds, preventing damage and enhancing safety. 

Custom-designed Brake Magnet Systems

Aluminum cups and cans in high-speed conveyance often collide, causing damage and spinning. CANLINE's custom-designed brake magnet systems offer a solution by applying magnetic fields to swiftly moving aluminum cups and cans, effectively slowing them down and eliminating spinning issues.

Control Cup Fall Speeds

Our brake magnets are also highly effective in controlling cup fall speeds during long mechanical drops. Notably, they only activate aluminium cups and cans at high speeds, ensuring smooth operations at lower speeds. This makes them ideal for LSM discharge, cup discharge, and brake applications in mechanical tracks, contributing to enhanced efficiency across your production line.

Optimizing Brake Magnet Placement 

When it comes to optimizing brake magnet placement in your conveying lines, there are key considerations that can enhance efficiency. For brake magnets positioned beneath an airdeck, utilizing a nonmagnetic stainless steel plate (304 or 316) is paramount to ensure peak magnet performance. Questions about this or doubts about surrounding materials of your existing conveying line? At CANLINE we offer replacement services to ensure seamless operations.

A Tailored Solution for Your Conveying Line

In situations where you're installing a brake magnet within an existing cup discharge air conveyor, limited visibility can present challenges. While some consider placing the magnet above the cups, the most effective location is beneath the airdeck. This is because the cup's closed side, with its higher material content, responds best to the brake magnet. For single-lane airtracks, it's advisable to position magnets strategically on both sides to maximize proximity to the can material and enhance efficiency. However, please note that this approach may not suit airtracks with varying can designs and material distributions.
