The new patent pending Bullet\u00ae is a high-density polymer device that is designed to slide over power cable and protect magnet leads from abrasions, cuts and heavy impacts that cause electrical interruptions and catastrophic failures.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1672\" title=\"Winkle_1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_1-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Winkle\u2019s engineering team developed the Bullet\u00ae ensuring simple attachment, maximum cable flexibility and optimum protection for a full range of magnet power cables. The bullet-shaped units are modular in design, providing desirable coverage and reliable operation. The polymer material is also impervious to environmental factors such as UV degradation, as well as extreme hot and cold conditions, ensuring durability and extended service-life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common Industry Hazards<\/strong><br \/>\nFerrous metal operations inherently are harsh environments and present potential safety concerns and hazards for personnel and equipment when utilizing and maintaining lifting magnet systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstant handling of sharp metal objects, coupled with notorious impacts on swinging power cables are a nasty combination that damage power cables; a leading cause for maintenance costs associated with lifting magnet systems,\u201d says Joseph Schatz, President of Winkle Industries.<\/p>\n<p>Schatz notes that, \u201cWhen grounds and short circuits occur during operation, magnet system performance is restricted and power surges may inflict considerable damage to components. Sometimes instantaneous and virtually always over time, the detrimental effects are a major reason why lifting magnets and system components may underperform and prematurely fail. We repair a lot of lifting magnets, magnet controllers and power supplies that have failed as a result of damaged magnet leads. In extreme cases, the machine\u2019s main electrical system can be interrupted or damaged due to faulty power cables.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1673\" title=\"Winkle_2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Winkle_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"117\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>\u201cPhenomenal\u201d Savings<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u201cThe cost of the Bullet<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is really negligible compared to the savings it offers,\u201d says Mark Volansky, Winkle Industries Director of Sales. \u201cTechnicians today frequently have to repair or change out damaged magnet leads and operators don\u2019t like interruptions in productivity \u2013 preventing those repairs or cable changes makes this product a valuable investment. If you factor in the indirect costs of downtime and the direct costs associated with the repair or replacement of magnet system components and the machine\u2019s main electrical system, the potential savings is phenomenal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Volansky continues, \u201cWe showed the Bullet<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> to one of our larger scrap metal recycling customers and they can\u2019t wait to install this product on all their material handling machines equipped for magnet use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bullet\u00ae is currently in production and Winkle Industries expects to offer customers Bullet\u00ae kits to suit various magnet lead lengths. \u201cThis product is a little outside the usual range that magnet suppliers provide to the marketplace,\u201d states Volansky, \u201cbut our focus at Winkle is on providing complete material handling solutions to our customers. This was a problem that required a solution \u2013 and the Bullet\u00ae provides that solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More info:<\/p>\n<p><a>sales@winkleindustries.com<\/a><br \/>\n2080 West Main Street, Alliance, Ohio 44601<br \/>\nTel: (330) 823-9730 Fax: (330) 823-9788<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/winkleindustries.com\/\">www.winkleindustries.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winkle Industries, America\u2019s innovation leader in engineered material handling solutions, has introduced a practical and enhanced means to protect lifting magnet power cables.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Bullet\u00ae Is a Lifesaver for Magnet Systems - Attachment News &amp; Announcements - Attachmart.com&#039;s Blog","description":"Winkle Industries, America\u2019s innovation leader in engineered material handling solutions, has introduced a practical and enhanced means to protect lifting magne"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1671"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1675,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1671\/revisions\/1675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.attachmart.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
