Inline Magnets Remove Metal from Potassium Chloride
A UK processor of Potassium Chloride is using two Pneumatic Inline Magnets (PIMS) to capture and remove small tramp ferrous metal. The metal is removed early in the process, as the dry material is being pneumatically conveyed, to prevent damage to processing equipment including the crusher. The two PIMS installed at the Potassium Chloride processing…
Read More42 Inline Magnets Keep Baby Food Metal Free
A German baby food producer has purchased forty-two (42) stainless-steel Inline Magnets to remove tramp ferrous metal. The food-producer has installed the 42 magnetic separators in all their European manufacturing plants. Inline Magnets easily fit into existing pneumatic (up to 15 psi) or gravity-fed pipelines transporting foodstuffs. The fabricated pipe-shaped body includes suitable ends to…

Read MoreMeasuring Magnetic Separator Power
A Magnetic Separator attracts, captures and holds magnetic particles. The magnetic strength needed to successfully separate such problematic ferrous metal contamination is commonly stated in a magnetic separator supplier’s quotation or specified in the tender. This ‘Magnetic Strength’ is usually referenced in terms of ‘Gauss’, a unit of measurement. However, as it is difficult to accurately measure…
