Compact separator has a stainless-steel housing
This company has launched a new pipe magnet (photo) that requires half the installation height of its predecessor and is also twice as strong. Manufactured entirely from stainless steel, the magnetic separator contains a core of neodymium (NdFeB) magnets and creates a flux density of 12,000 Gauss. The conical-shaped magnet core contains more pole plates, so even 30-μm particles stick to more engagement points, resulting in a higher degree of separation. Steel particles present in the product flow, such as bolts, nuts, washers, screws, small metal balls, broken threads and clips can be separated from grains, flour and other incoming goods flows. The new magnet system is suitable not only for mounting in free-fall pipes, but also for pressure pipes. — Goudsmit Magnetic Systems B.V., Waalre, the Netherlands
