Grate Magnet, Rare Earth, 8" Overall Length, 80 oz Maximum Magnetic Pull Strength

These grate magnets are made up of magnetic tubes arranged in a grid pattern and welded into a rectangular or square frame. They drop into openings on steep-sloped hoppers, odd and irregularly shaped hoppers, floor openings, vertical closed chutes, and ducts. Bulk material falls through the grate during conveying, and any ferrous particles and parts that are in the material stick to the face of the magnetic tubes, removing them from the conveyed material. This helps prevent ferrous particles and parts from contaminating bulk products during conveying, getting into machinery downstream and causing damage, and potentially creating a spark that could ignite explosive materials.

Magnetic separators use high-strength magnets to capture and remove ferrous particles and parts (sometimes known as tramp metal) from gravel, sand, powders, pellets, wood chips, food products, and other solid materials in bulk conveying applications. This helps prevent the ferrous particles and parts from contaminating the product, getting into machinery downstream and causing damage, and potentially creating a spark that could ignite explosive materials. Separators commonly use ceramic or rare earth magnets. Ceramic magnets can effectively capture large ferrous contaminants such as nuts, bolts, or staples. Rare earth magnets are capable of capturing fine or weakly magnetic material such as rust or scale.
