Uses for our ferrite disc magnets :

In the 1989 baseball movie Field of Dreams, a ghostly voice tells the star Kevin Costner, ‘Build it and they will come’. Given all the maintenance required for such sporting facilities, he probably should have said, ‘Build it and they will come…and clean it’. Ain’t that the truth?

Makers of cleaning machines and those who use and service them order these 20 per pack 12mmx5mm magnetic discs to help with the never-ending task of cleaning every type of floor and surface. Including baseball fields.

These magnets with a pull force of 0.5 kg are housed in a myriad of different cleaning apparatus to reduce the time it takes to clean sometimes huge areas. Airport hangers and runway tarmacs, car manufacturing plants, schools, hospitals, council car parks and retail shop floor spaces all require regular, sometimes daily cleaning in order to comply with health and safety regulations and reduce damage from debris and metallic foreign objects.

These small and powerful magnets, arrayed like sharks teeth on the front line of some cleaning machines, ensure the most unwelcome forms of debris, metallic fragments, are captured and secured for safe disposal.Magnets deployed in this manner reduce the time and cost of performing essential cleaning chores. Securing the metal fragments away from moving parts also increases the longevity of the cleaning machines.

With an approximate holding force of 0.5kg, these ferrite medium strength disc magnets are ideal to hold artwork or crafts. Some applications include holding paper to whiteboards and as indicators on office schedule boards.
