Chinese steel giant Baoshan, part of the Baowu Steel Group, has once again chosen SGM’s electro-permanent magnets (EPR) for handling oriented silicon steel coils (GOES).
This confirms the technological superiority of SGM’s EPRs in the high-precision electrical steel sector, which is essential for the production of electric motors and generators. Benefits recognized by Baoshan:
- Material integrity: reduced internal stress, grain orientation preserved
- Minimal residual magnetism: unlike conventional electromagnets
- Maximum operational safety: no risk of drops or damage
- Adaptability: sleeves system allows handling of coils of varying height
- Production efficiency: ideal for rapid loading/unloading in annealing bays

With this renewed trust, Baoshan confirms SGM as a key partner for high-value applications.
Grain-oriented silicon steel has a significantly higher market value compared to carbon steel. Choosing SGM’s EPR magnets is a strategic decision to maintain high quality standards and gain access to the most demanding and high-end markets.
Application: vertical coil handling in annealing bays
Weight: up to 22 tons
