Why do you need to reduce machine downtime in manufacturing?
Metallic debris is a hidden hazard in construction sites, logistics hubs, event venues, and even public roads. Sharp metal objects like nails, screws, and wire offcuts can cause injuries, puncture tires, and lead to costly equipment damage.
While traditional street sweeping services remove dirt and general debris, they often fail to capture metallic hazards effectively. That’s where Magnetech comes in. Our magnetic sweeping service is designed to thoroughly remove hazardous metal debris, making your site safer and more efficient.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through our step-by-step magnetic sweeping process, so you know exactly what to expect when hiring a professional sweeper for your site.
Step 1: Site Assessment & Consultation
Every job begins with a comprehensive site inspection. We identify high-risk zones where metal debris accumulates and assess the surface type—whether it’s asphalt, concrete, gravel, or grass.
During this stage, we:
- Identify the level of metal contamination
- Assess the need for street sweeping or magnetic sweeping
- Discuss safety concerns and operational requirements
This ensures we deploy the right sweeper for the job, maximizing debris removal efficiency.
Step 2: Deploying Industrial-Strength Magnetic Sweepers
Unlike standard street sweepers, which primarily handle dirt and general debris, our magnetic sweeping technology is designed to target and remove metallic hazards.
We use specialized magnetic sweepers tailored for different environments:
- Our Driven Magnetic Sweepers – Ideal for large sites, including construction zones, logistics yards, and roadways.
- Handheld Magnetic Sweepers – Used for sidewalks, work areas, and tight spaces where debris might be hidden.
These high-powered sweepers attract and collect even the smallest metallic fragments, ensuring a thorough clean-up.
Step 3: Thorough Metal Debris Collection
As we conduct the magnetic sweeping, our powerful magnets capture and retain hazardous debris such as:
- Nails, screws, and bolts
- Wire offcuts and metal shavings
- Sharp scrap metal and welding slag
- Hidden metallic hazards embedded in dirt or grass
Unlike traditional street sweeping services, which may leave behind metallic debris, our magnetic sweeper technology ensures that even deeply embedded fragments are removed.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Quality Check
After the initial magnetic sweep, we conduct a thorough visual inspection and a walk-around of high-risk areas to ensure no metal debris is left behind. This meticulous approach guarantees the highest safety standards for your site.
Step 5: Safe Disposal & Client Report
Once all metal debris is collected, we dispose of it responsibly in accordance with environmental regulations. We can also provide a detailed report on the types and amounts of metal debris found.
For businesses managing high-traffic areas, regular scheduled magnetic sweeping can help prevent future contamination and improve safety.
