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.

GTS-iMAPLA INSTALLATION AND
APPLICATION:
OPTIONS FOR INSTALLATION AND APPLICATION
The iMAPLA System stands out through its modular design which allows quick and
uncomplicated assembly and offers users a variety of applications.
SIMPLE INSTALLATION://////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The iMAPLA System components are pluggable (generator, magnet plate, control, magnet plug,
power cable) and easily assembled. The iMAPLA System automatically adjusts itself to different
plate sizes and guarantees optimal efficiency at every operating point.
The iMAPLA is designed with intelligent controls for stable and vibration-free belt or hydraulic
drive. Various SAE flanges and associated couplings are available for direct drive. The iMAPLA
System is available as a single unit (generator and electronic steering combined) or as an
external unit (with a separate control unit for flexible installation).

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).
