At Jan Kemp BV, we are proud to be exclusive dealers of the high-quality
magnet systems from KW Generator, an innovative company from Germany pioneering unique systems. We supply and install the GEMA Industrial magnetic systems. This is the solution for steel mills and mobile excavators. These high-quality systems combine maximum reliability with ease of use and low maintenance costs.
GEMA Industrial: flexible magnet solutions
The GEMA Industrial series (10, 15, 20 and 30 kW) is designed as a compact, complete control system for magnetic plates. A key advantage of this system is that the generator can be driven in two ways: by hydraulic power or via a V-belt. This makes it flexible for different machines and working environments.
Why we often choose a V-belt
Although both drive methods are reliable, at Jan Kemp BV we often opt for a V-belt. In this case, the machine's motor drives a generator via a V-belt. The mechanical rotation is converted into electricity for the magnet. We prefer a V-belt for several reasons:
- Lower maintenance costs: a V-belt has fewer moving parts and is easier to replace than hydraulic components.
- Less risk of breakdowns: no risk of hydraulic leaks, keeping the machine cleaner and reducing downtime.
- Cost savings: installation and replacement of a V-belt are usually cheaper than hydraulic repairs.
- Easy integration: V-belt drives can often be fitted more quickly and without major modifications.
Advantages of the GEMA Industrial system
When choosing a magnet system, reliability and efficiency are crucial. The GEMA Industrial system has been developed with performance, durability and ease of use in mind. These are the main advantages of the system:
- Compact and complete: all components for controlling magnetic plates are integrated in one unit.
- Reliable operation: the system continuously monitors voltage, current and status of the magnet, preventing malfunctions early.
- Flexible control: multiple magnetic plates can be operated separately or in groups, ideal for complex applications.
- Battery backup: integrated management ensures that the magnet continues to function reliably even in the event of a power failure.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between GEMA Industrial and hydraulic magnet systems?
The GEMA Industrial operates entirely electrically and requires no hydraulic power. That means: no hydraulic pumps, hoses or oil, less wear and tear and significantly lower maintenance costs.
Can the GEMA Industrial be installed on my existing machine?
Yes. The GEMA 10, 15, 20 and 30 kW models are compactly designed and easy to integrate on both steel plant installations and mobile excavators. We deliver the installation fully customised and connect it directly to the electrical supply of your machine.
How reliable is the system in harsh working conditions?
We develop the GEMA Industrial especially for intensive industrial use. Thanks to intelligent monitoring, voltage, current and status are continuously monitored. Faults are thus detected early, ensuring maximum uptime.
Can the GEMA Industrial control multiple magnets simultaneously
Yes. The system can control multiple magnetic plates in groups. This is ideal for applications where several magnets need to be operated separately or simultaneously, for example in steel mills or large transhipment projects.
