MAGNETIC CLEANING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING FERROMAGNETIC OBJECTS

Abstract:

A cleaning system and a method for cleaning a surface of a ferromagnetic object are disclosed. Accordingly, to an example configuration, the cleaning system includes a device body that comprises a magnetic system that urges an abrasive layer against the surface of the ferromagnetic object by a magnetic force. In at least some examples, the magnetic force provided by the magnetic system is adjustable to achieve a target magnetic force for cleaning the surface.
