Magnetic separation overview pdf

 

Magnetic separation is used in almost every processing industry to remove ferrous and para-magnetic* contamination from process lines, preventing product contamination and damage to machinery.


Contamination can enter your production line in your raw materials, staples and nails from packaging, nuts and bolts vibrating loose from machinery, wear and tear of moving parts and rust. Not only can this contamination enter your products it can also damage machinery.


We produce high-quality high-power magnetic separators for most applications, including bulk, grain, dry powders, damp powders, liquids and syrups, which are used in a vast range of industries, including pharmaceutical and food.


We can provide custom options, as well as fully custom-built magnetic separators, with turnaround and costs little different to standard products.


ATEX logoATEX type approval means that we many of our magnetic separators are available fully ATEX certified direct from our factory, cutting costs and turnaround.

Ensure you are doing all you can to protect your business from the damage that physical contamination can cause.

Magnetic Separator Rod

Magnetic Separator Rod
Extremely efficent at removing fine iron contamination from free flowing products e.g. sugar, grain, granulate & other powders with low moisture content. Ideal for engineers building their own separators or where there isn't enough room for a conventional unit.

Sampling probe

Sampling probe
Quality control inspection of products for ferrous and lightly magnetic contamination.

Grids

Grids
Extremely efficent removal of fine iron from free flowing powders & granulates. Easily placed into hoppers, intake & outlet points.

Sieve Magnet

Sieve Magnet
Installed under the screen of sieves to remove ferrous contamination from product. Also protects product from contamination that falls from the sieve itself as it wears over time.

Strip

Strip
Placed above conveyors, side of chute work, product outlets. Stainless steel shroud means can be used in wet applications.

Vibratory Sieve

Vibratory Sieve
Compact 450mm and 600m screen vibratory ingredient sieves with incorporated grid magnet (optional) and metal-detectable screen and seals.

Hinged strip

Hinged strip
Mounted above flat belt conveyors to remove ferrous contamination from many product types.

Underflow

Underflow
Positioned on the underside of angled chutes to prevent large pieces of ferrous contamination being introduced into process machinery.

Single row easy clean grid

Single row easy clean grid
Removal of fine and para-magnetic contamination from dry free flowing products (e.g. sugar, grain, granulates, powders)

Double row easy clean grid

Double row easy clean grid
Increased efficency, longer operating period than single row. Removes ferrous and para-magnetic contamination from dry free-flowing products: sugar, grain, flour, powders. Units available for chutes and pipelines.

Auto Shuttle

Auto Shuttle
Fully automated, non-stop 24/7 contamination removal. PLC controlled self-cleaning unit. Suitable for dry powders and granulates on vertical processing lines.

Pneumag

Pneumag
High intensity magnetic separator designed to remove ferrous and stainless steel scrapings from pneumatic conveying lines operating at up to 25m/s.

Rota grid

Rota grid
Mainly used to extract contamination from product that is prone to caking or bridging (e.g. starches, powders with high moisture content) but can be used to provide improved separation on other products. Housings available for chutes and pipelines.

Auto Rota-shuttle

Auto Rota-shuttle
Fully automated, non-stop 24/7 contamination removal. PLC controlled self-cleaning unit. Suitable for dry & semi dry powders susceptible to caking or bridging on vertical processing lines.

Housed bullet

Housed bullet
Prevents tramp iron from damaging process machinery. Installed in blown or gravity fed pipelines, usually at intake points and primary stages of the process line.

Deep field chute

Deep field chute
Removes tramp iron from gravity fed pipelines and chutes. Installed at goods inwards points or mid-process. Allows established flow rates to be maintained.

Liquid filter

Liquid filter
Removal of micron sized ferrous and para-magnetic contamination from various types of liquids. Double wall jacketed version for temperature critical applications e.g. chocolate.

Separating drum

Separating drum
Continuous removal of tramp and finer ferrous contamination from dry bulk materials in grain, chemical and mineral processing, and recycling. Fitted at conveyor discharge or below vibratory feed system.

Housed separating drum

Housed separating drum
Installed in chutes for continuous removal of tramp and fine ferrous contamination from dry bulk materials in the grain, chemical and mineral industries and recycling.

Deep field plate

Deep field plate
Positioned over conveyors to prevent tramp iron entering crushers, screens and other machinery. Deep magnetic flux fields reach into product to remove contamination. Can be used in harsh environments.

Overband

Overband
Installed above flat or trough conveyors for removal of tramp in recycling, quarrying and heavy industries. Particularly suitable for heavily contaminated products. Removed contamination is continaully deposited in a collection bin.
