According to the Center For Climate and Energy Solutions, “renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, increasing 100 percent from 2000 to 2018.” From a global standpoint, global electricity generation is expected to rise to 45 percent by 2040. This means that renewable energy will be largely consumed for heating, cooling, and transportation. Noting renewable energy growth potential and the overall societal shift toward green energy, it is important to think about how your business can help minimize its carbon footprint.  Continue reading →

We all know that conveyor belts move materials from one location to the next on the continuously moving belt, but what about magnetic conveyor belts? Unlike typical conveyor belts, magnetic conveyor belts have permanent ceramic magnets under the surface to carry ferrous materials from one place to another. Magnetic conveyor belts keep magnetic materials equally spaced out and can prevent them from toppling over on a vertical, incline, or horizontal belt.  Could your business benefit from using a magnetic belt? Read on to learn about different types of magnetic conveyor belts that you could implement — each magnetic conveyor belt type is built for specific applications.  Continue reading →

Purchasing magnets can be an overwhelming task, especially if you are not familiar with key magnetic terms. For instance, when you are filling out your Apex custom magnet request form, you may not know what the terms “magnetic strength rating” or “direction of magnetization” mean. Without understanding magnetic terminology, your request form may not directly align with your magnetic needs. However, there’s no need to worry — Apex Magnets is here to help! We’ve highlighted some of the key magnetic terms that are helpful to understand when purchasing magnets for your business. Continue reading →

At Apex Magnets, our customers are our main priority. That’s why we’re transparent, update them on important magnet news, and strive to offer fair prices. We believe it is beneficial to both of us.  Currently, the raw materials we use to make magnets, such as neodymium and cobalt, are very volatile. Because of this, our costs have increased over the last few months at a significant rate. That said, we are doing our best to keep pricing fair for you and your end-users.  Continue reading →

Have you ever walked past a scrap yard and wondered how the large “scraps” are moved from one place to another? The answer is simple, yet difficult… magnets! Magnets come in different shapes, sizes, and strengths — some can even lift and move cars! In this blog post, we’ll be focusing on those large, high-strength magnets that are capable of moving heavy objects in scrap yards. Continue reading →

If you work in the automobile or industrial machinery industry, you probably understand the importance of clean oil and machine reliability. When oil is contaminated with ferrous solids (iron or steel particles), it creates heat, friction, and vibrations, which negatively impact the oil integrity and the machine itself. In order to remove contaminants, magnetic filtration is necessary. According to tribologists and oil analysts, 90% of all particles suspended in oil can be ferromagnetic. Therefore, it is imperative that machinery has effective magnetic filtering systems.  Continue reading →
