MagHammer Installation
Mounting
The MagHammer works best when a reinforcement plate (See table below for suggested plate size and thickness) is welded to the outer surface of the hopper or bin where the MagHammer will be located. The base plate on the MagHammer is then removed and welded to the reinforcement plate. Reassemble the MagHammer to the base plate for operation. The bolts and nuts need to be tight and secure.

Positioning
On typical installations the MagHammer is installed 1/4 to 1/3 the distance from the outlet to the bend in the bin or hopper. Most installations that require two hammers will have the other hammer located directly opposite the first.
In the case of poor fluidity materials, such as caking powders, slug, and fine compact powders; flow can be improved by using two electromagnetic hammers which have different heights of installation. The first should be installed on the slope of the hopper 1/4 the distance from the outlet and the second should be installed 1/3 the distance.
For flat wall chutes, transporting piping and vertical surfaces, mount the hammer 1/2 the length of the piping.
For pipe mount applications, special cross bar mounting plates are available. Including heavy wall small diameter pipe, heavy wall large diameter pipe, small pipe, and one designed for high temperature applications.
Wiring
The control panel for the MagHammer requires a 220/240 VAC, three phase, 20 ampere power source. The hammer unit is wired to the control unit per the appropriate code requirements (May vary on jurisdiction having authority and hazard classification of location)
It is recommended that the MagHammer be installed by an electrician.
