Application of electromagnet in Sugar Industry may be as old as 19th century. The function is to entrap the delivery of accidental or malicious Iron or Ferric material with inflow of cane or process stream to save the machinery from the ill effect of these materials. There as many evidences of broken of hammers of preparatory cane devices and even mill cheeks with the introduction of formers tools, strings or parts of operating in line machinery starting from cane delivery in cane carrier to prepared cane to Mill. The shape, make and placing location of magnets are different but aim is same to save machinery loss and improve Mill efficiency. Ranipur Sugar Mills extended its mill tandem from four to five mills in its BMR program held in 1988 with introduction of FCB made three roll mills of 36 x 72 inch with chain driven feeder as 1st mill. The cutters and Unigrator were shifted behind to create the mill space. This exercise made it difficult to re-create new space to install any kind of electromagnet at suitable position out re-shifting the machines or increasing degree of cane or drag carriers. Increasing the degree of carriers normally make these shorten in length and increased wear tear of chains and operating loads of gears and drives. After year’s brainstorming, idea provoked to install fixed face drive less electromagnet before the feeding of prepared cane to 1st mill. Merits and demerits of different locations were studied technically before finalizing the present position of the In-chute Magnet. Material and Methods:
