Plate Magnets are essential tools for effective metal separation in a variety of industrial applications. Designed to capture ferrous contaminants from bulk materials, these magnets play a crucial role in maintaining product quality and protecting processing equipment from damage caused by metal debris.

Constructed from high-quality materials, Plate Magnets are available in both Ceramic and Rare Earth magnet options, allowing users to choose the right strength for their specific needs. With magnetic strengths of up to 10,000 gauss, these magnets ensure efficient removal of tramp iron and ferrous particles from dry powders, moist materials, and clumpy substances.

Plate Magnets are particularly versatile, making them suitable for a range of industries including food processing, plastics manufacturing, ceramics, and mining. They can be installed in various configurations - such as suspended above conveyor belts or integrated into chutes - ensuring seamless operation within existing systems.

One of the key advantages of Plate Magnets is their ease of maintenance. Many models feature hinged designs that allow for quick and straightforward cleaning, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance. The durable construction, often made from stainless steel, guarantees longevity and reliability even in demanding environments.

Whether you’re looking to enhance product safety, improve operational efficiency, or comply with industry regulations, Plate Magnets provide a reliable solution for ferrous metal separation. 

Powerful Magnetic Field: Plate Magnets offer up to 10,000 Gauss strength, ensuring effective capture of ferrous contaminants from various materials.
