Grate Magnets
Grate magnets are powerful magnetic separators commonly used in industrial applications to remove ferrous contaminants from free-flowing materials such as powders, granules, and pellets. They consist of a series of magnetic tubes or bars arranged in a grid pattern within a stainless steel housing.
The magnetic tubes or bars are typically made of high-strength rare earth magnets, such as neodymium or samarium cobalt, encased in a stainless steel or ceramic housing. As the material flows through the housing, the ferrous contaminants are attracted to the magnetic tubes, where they adhere to the surface, preventing them from contaminating the end product.
Grate magnets are widely used in industries such as food processing, plastics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals to ensure product purity and quality. They effectively remove fine and weakly magnetic contaminants that may otherwise go undetected by other types of magnetic separators.
The design of grate magnets allows for easy installation and maintenance. They can be installed in various locations within processing equipment, including hoppers, chutes, or pipelines, to suit specific application requirements. Cleaning and maintenance are also straightforward, as the magnetic tubes or bars can be removed from the housing for periodic inspection and cleaning.
Grate magnets are available in different sizes and configurations to accommodate different processing capacities and material characteristics. They provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for removing ferrous contaminants from bulk materials, helping industries meet regulatory standards and ensure product integrity.
