Design of Electromagnet for Industrial Waste Metal Scraps Cleaning

This project presents details of the design and development of an electromagnet for the use of industrial metal scraps cleaning. The method is purely based on numerical approach. Cast steel was used as the material because of its high permeability and fairly good coercivity. The genesis for the design is based on the phenomenon of attracting power of a magnet. The design was implemented using a local available component; the electromagnet was able to attract various waste metal scraps from distances below the pole of magnet by applying the current through the winding of the electromagnet. In the final analysis the electromagnet was designed and built this system as a perfect product.
