GTS-iMAPLA SOLUTIONS:FASTER MATERIAL HANDLING AND SORTING

INTELLIGENT MAGNET PLATE SYSTEM: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// High-performance GTS generators, innovative controls technology, and a customer oriented controls concept are the essentially building blocks of our iMAPLA magnet plate systems.

// iMAPLA provides an increase in productivity of up to 25 percent.

// Trust a system with over ten years of experience and more than 20,000 worldwide sold units.

INNOVATIVE CONTROLS METHOD ENSURES MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Magnet plate systems require powerful electric current to build up magnetic energy. Whether a classic material handler or a heavy forklift truck: the vehicles must be mobile in order to transport, sort or separate magnetizable material at scrap yards, recycling facilities and steel mills, for railway projects or at demolition sites.

Powerful and durable generators are therefore the first prerequisite for the functioning of magnet plate systems. The generators can be connected directly to the drive motor of the vehicle, to the hydraulic system of the lifting crane or to a separate drive source in the form of an external diesel engine. Thanks to this diversity “plug & play” solutions are possible for nearly any application requirement.

The technological innovation however, is the electronic control system responsible for the build-up and release of the magnetic energy. State-of-the-art inverter technology ensures that the material can be loaded and unloaded at the touch of a button – via a “man-machine interface” (MMI) that obviously meets all ergonomic requirements. Our iMapla thus operates up to 25 % faster than conventional magnet plate systems.

WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

The iMAPLA System is the professional solution for your mobile magnet plate system: regardless of location and degree of mobility. The iMAPLA concept makes it possible to use the advantages of the system in varying applications and industries - always with the benefits of a professional system solution tailored for your specific application. We provide various system configurations within the iMAPLA family:

iMAPLA CLASSIC: //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

iMAPLA CLASSIC is a fully integrated system, that can be installed in any conventional handling machine. In this case the generator is connected directly to the engine of the machine, in order to generate electrical energy. The iMAPLA CLASSIC is particularly well suited for use in scrapyards and recycling facilities, where magnetic material must be continuously handled and sorted.

iMAPLA GENSET: ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

For vehicles that do not have enough power to produce heavy-duty electrical energy, we offer a system with an integrated diesel engine. You can use this portable source of electrical power anywhere to handle materials with heavy duty lifting magnets.

iMAPLA QUICK: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

iMAPLA QUICK is the ideal solution for demolition companies that need to handle, sort or filter out magnetizable materials. In this case, the generator is re-equipped in the short term. The iMAPLA QUICK tool consists of the generator and electronic controls and is mounted on the heavy duty lifting magnet. It can be connected to the MMI of the machine by cable or wireless connection. In this case, the generator is driven by hydraulics (e.g. hammer hydraulics).
