Magnetic Grates

Magnetic Grates

Magnetic Grates are designed to remove medium and small-size ferrous tramp metal contaminant’s from dry, granular free-flowing product streams in gravity-fed vertical chutes, hoppers, housings, surge or catch bins. Grate Magnets are easy to install and clean. They offer efficient, economical heavy-duty magnetic protection of processing equipment such as; milling, extruding, and mixing, while at the same time improving product purity.

The use of permanent magnetic separators helps draw out fine tramp metal along critical points of the production line. These separators come in different styles and in various magnetic strengths, depending upon the application. Periodically, they all need to be tested to monitor magnet performance.

Most industrial magnet manufacturers have adopted standard test equipment that measures the holding force of a magnet. Periodic testing of magnets helps determine whether a magnet needs to be repaired, upgraded or replaced. Here are some rules to follow to make sure you are using standard operating procedure when field testing magnetic strength to attain the most accurate results.
