Our Range

The Burnand name has been synonymous with electromagnets and magnetic systems for over 100 years and is an integral part of Rotary Engineering. Rotary Engineering has full machining capabilities enabling a full range of new circular magnets to be manufactured in our Sheffield plant with either a cast or fabricated body.

The heart of the magnet, the coil, can be wound either from copper or from aluminium depending on the design of the magnet and its eventual application.

Our facilities include:
3D design using the latest software
Workshop with 10Ton and 5Ton cranes
A range of engineering machines
Winding capabilities for both Copper and Aluminium coils.
Vacuum drying and heating facility
Full in house testing facilities
LOLER testing and certification.

Products and Services

Circular Lifting Magnets
High power circular lifting magnets are designed for efficient handling of all kinds of scrap including heavy metal scrap, steel turnings, cast iron boring and ingot scrap.

Features:

Wide range of sizes available for handling scrap of up to 70 tons
Heavy duty high permeability case
High intensity, deep field options
Insulated to Class C standards
Optional remote control
Designed for 75% duty cycle
Supplied complete with chains

Lightweight circular magnets are targeted particularly at scrap handling operations where high lift to magnet weight is needed because of restrictions on crane and lifting capacity and the nature of the scrap being handled allows lighter weight magnet construction methods employed.

Features:

Lightweight for maximum payload
Fully welded baseplate
Lightweight aluminium coil
14% Manganese protection plate
Fully weatherproof construction
Suitable for all loose ferrous scrap
Reduced capital & running costs

Permanent magnets

Rotary Burnand offer a range of permanent magnetic lifters along with a selection of electro permanent circular magnets.

Permanent magnetic lifters are ideal for workshop fabrication and electro permanent magnets are suitable where the loss of electrical supply could lead to a dangerous condition

Rectangular Lifting Magnets

High power rectangular electromagnets are designed for efficient handling of single layer billets, RSJ, rail or similar steel section as well as single bundled tube and bar sections.

Features:

Wide range of sizes available for fast handling of steel sections
High intensity, short throw field
Insulated to class C standards
Fully weatherproof construction
Optional remote control
Available fitted to spreader beams

Lifting Beams

Rotary Burnand has full design and manufacturing capability for a wide range of spreader beams. Where multiple magnets are used to lift long plates or assemblies spreader beams offer a simple, effective solution.

Power supplies, Controls and battery back-up

Power cable feed / recovery can be achieved through several means including spring return & powered reeling drums (with multiple slip rings where required) cable baskets and catenary systems.

Battery back up safety systems can be fitted to all electromagnet systems to guard against power failures.

Below is a selection of some of the services on offer:

AC to DC transformer rectifiers
DC contractor control panels
Variable power control systems
AC/DC generating equipment
Cable reeling drums
Battery back up systems
AC/DC earth-leakage protection
