Loose Grid/Tube Magnets
Loose Grid/Tube Magnets
Tube Magnets are individual cylindrical rods made of stainless steel, containing powerful permanent magnets (usually rare-earth or ceramic). They are typically used independently or as components of larger assemblies. Loose Grid Magnets consist of multiple magnetic tubes arranged in a grid or grate formation. They can be easily placed inside product flow areas for inline magnetic separation.These magnets are “loose” in the sense that they can be freely positioned, removed for cleaning, or integrated into custom equipment without being permanently mounted.
Key Features
Key Features
- Powerful Rare-Earth Magnets (e.g., Neodymium): Deliver high-intensity magnetic fields for effective removal of fine ferrous particles.
- 304 or 316 Stainless Steel Housing: Provides corrosion resistance and sanitary compliance for use in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
- Customizable Configurations: Tube diameters, lengths, and spacing can be tailored to specific material flow and equipment setups.
- Easy Installation: Can be placed inside hoppers, chutes, or other gravity-fed systems with minimal modification.
- Manual or Quick-Clean Designs: Some versions include an easy-clean feature where the magnetic core is pulled out of the tube for fast cleaning of captured metals.
- Sanitary Designs Available: Welded and polished for easy cleaning and compliance with HACCP, FDA, or other hygiene standards.
Applications
Applications
- Food Processing: Capture tramp iron from ingredients such as flour, spices, sugar, rice, and grains.
- Plastics & Recycling: Remove metal contamination from plastic pellets, flakes, or regrind material.
- Pharmaceuticals: Ensure product purity and prevent damage to sensitive processing equipment.
- Chemical Manufacturing: Protect mixers and grinders by intercepting metal shavings or dust.
- Animal Feed & Agriculture: Filter out metal fragments from feedstock to protect livestock and machinery.
- Mining & Minerals: Remove fine metallic particles from dry, bulk minerals during refining or packaging.
Benefits
Benefits
- Improves Product Purity: Ensures a cleaner final product by removing metal fragments from the process stream.
- Protects Downstream Equipment: Prevents wear and damage to equipment like grinders, blenders, or extrusion machines.
- Increases Safety: Eliminates hazardous metal debris that could injure workers or damage packaging systems.
- Easy Maintenance: Manual cleaning is quick and straightforward, especially with quick-clean options.
- Flexible and Modular: Can be used standalone or as part of a larger magnetic separation system.
- Cost-Effective: Low upfront and maintenance costs make them ideal for smaller-scale operations or supplemental protection.
