Grate Magnets

Grate Magnets have been a cornerstone in material processing industries for decades, serving as an essential tool for ensuring product purity and operational efficiency across various sectors, including food processing, plastics manufacturing, and mineral handling. Specifically designed to remove ferrous contaminants from free-flowing dry materials in gravity-fed applications, these magnetic separators are integral to maintaining product integrity and protecting valuable processing equipment.

Grate Magnets feature powerful magnetic tubes, available in ceramic, rare earth, or high-intensity neodymium options, that effectively capture and hold ferrous particles of various sizes. The strategic arrangement of these magnetic tubes creates a high-density magnetic field, ensuring thorough separation even for fine iron contaminants that might otherwise escape detection.

Constructed with durable stainless steel frames, Grate Magnets are designed for easy installation in hoppers, chutes, and bins, seamlessly integrating into existing processing lines. Their versatile design allows for customization to fit various shapes and sizes of processing equipment, making them adaptable to a wide range of industrial applications. The simple yet effective cleaning process involves removing the grate from the product stream and wiping the magnetic tubes clean, minimizing downtime and maintaining consistent performance.

Grate Magnets offer a cost-effective solution for manufacturers aiming to enhance product quality, comply with safety regulations, and protect downstream equipment from damage caused by metal contamination. Invest in Grate Magnets to optimize your material processing operations and ensure the delivery of contaminant-free products to your customers.
