Magnetic segments
Exceptional material properties make TRIDELTA ferrite magnets suitable for use in the automotive industry as well as for application in industrial systems. TRIDELTA ferrite magnets are of unique quality, high performance parameters and economic efficiency. Specifically made for the drive systems of our customers, our magnetic segments are essential to the development of pioneering technologies and products.
We develop and produce powerful permanent magnets for use in DC motors, domestic appliances or specific industrial drive systems. On request, we also produce high-end applications and magnets of specific designs and different material grades.
TRIDELTA magnet solutions offer extremely high efficiency and appropriate potential savings: fairly cost-effective production, reliable quality, our flexibility and simple logistics are the basis for optimized processes along the entire supply chain. Every year, over 45 million quality-tested ceramic permanent magnets for EC and DC motors are shipped from our factory.
All from a single source: from the raw materials to the finished products
We manage the complete manufacturing process, from the provision of raw materials to the quality testing of the finished products. Unique in Europe, we implement the full process chain of magnet production directly at our site in Hermsdorf (Thuringia). This means that our customers can take advantage of all benefits and maximize efficiency.
Steps in the production of magnets
Raw material: Iron oxide and strontium carbonate
- Dry mixer (EIRICH)
- Wet mixer (Leubner)
- Cost saving by uniform basic material for magnetic powder and magnetic segments
Ø 3…12 mm
- Dry and wet granulation for homogeneous calcining to ensure complete conversion to strontiumhexaferrite
Calcining in gas-fired rotary kilns
- Throughput: 450 kg/h
- 3 similar kilns for reliable delivery to customers – total throughput: 2,200 kg/h
Dry milling with rotating sifter
- Grain sizes ≤ 20 µm
- Air classifier for grain size setting
Tumbling or attritor grinding mills
- Continuous DRAIS mills
- Grain sizes ≤ 1 µm
- Optimized grain distribution according to grinding technology
- Potential 2-step milling for smaller grain sizes
Anisotropic wet pressing
- Equipment: 15 presses
- Capacity range: 70t / 125t / 230t
- Automatic removal
- Tools made inhouse by the Tridelta Group
- Direct injection for optimum cavity filling
- High number of of cavities (up to 48)
- Long life time tools (1 million shots / cavity)
Drying and sintering
- Sintering temperature: 1230 °C
- 15 electric furnaces for optimum temperature settings
- Short sintering cycle
- Computer-monitored drying
Pre-grinding / finishing
- Equipment: TROWAL
Positive effect on magnets:
- Reduced chipping
- No burrs
- Finishing to optimum size
