TurboGrate™ Magnetic Separator

The TurboGrate™ Magnetic Separator removes fine ferrous and weakly magnetic contamination from powders, granules, and cohesive materials that bridge or clump. A motorized rotating grate keeps product moving through the housing while increasing exposure to neodymium rare earth magnets rated at 10,000 gauss, with options up to 13,000 gauss.

Designed for gravity free-fall applications, TurboGrate handles dry, moist, oily, or abrasive materials such as cocoa, flour, starch, and baking mixes. The standard unit handles product temperatures up to 80°C (176°F), with high-temperature models available up to 150°C (302°F).

Available options include 304 or 316 stainless steel construction, a polished food-grade finish, variable-speed drives, manual self-cleaning, and custom transitions for round or square chutes. Confirm sanitation and regulatory requirements for the specific installation with Bunting.

Fine Metal Capture: Neodymium rare earth magnets capture fine ferrous and weakly magnetic particles, including metal dust and fragments.

Consistent Product Flow: Motorized rotating magnetic rods agitate the product and reduce bridging, clumping, and buildup.

Handles Difficult Materials: Designed for powders, granules, and materials containing fat, oil, or moisture that do not flow freely through a stationary grate.

Equipment Protection: Removes ferrous contamination before it reaches grinders, mixers, or packaging equipment, reducing the risk of damage and unplanned downtime.

Cleanable Construction: Available in 304 or 316 stainless steel with a polished food-grade finish designed for disassembly and cleaning.

Flexible Integration: Fits vertical or inclined gravity-feed systems, with options for custom transitions, variable-speed drives, and manual self-cleaning.

Application Support: Bunting can confirm the appropriate materials, finish, sanitation features, and regulatory requirements for each installation.

Conveyance Type: Gravity free-fall applications for materials with difficult flow characteristics.

Materials Handled: Powdered and granular materials prone to bridging, including cocoa, flour, starch, baking mixes, and fatty or oily mixtures.

Standard Sizes: 200, 300, and 400 mm (8, 12, and 16 in.). Custom sizes are available.

Magnetic Strength: 10,000 gauss standard, with options up to 13,000 gauss.

Product Temperatures: Standard models handle products up to 80°C (176°F). High-temperature models are available up to 150°C (302°F).

Inlets and Outlets: Custom transitions are available for specific installation requirements and round or square connections.
