Center-Flow In-Line Magnets
Bunting offers gravity, pneumatic, and center-flow in-line magnetic separation equipment. As material flows across the surface of a powerful rare earth magnet, the magnetic force captures and traps ferrous metal contamination, holding it against the face of the magnet to prevent it from re-entering the product stream. In gravity and pneumatic in-line magnets, tapered transitions guide material directly over the face of a hinged plate magnet, which swings away from the housing to enable quick external cleaning. In center-flow in-line magnets, the magnet achieves optimal contact with the product flow by suspending a conical magnet in the center-line of the housing. All of our designs can come with 10,000 gauss to comply with food standard.
To deliver powerful magnetic separation, our in-line magnetic separation equipment comes standard with rare earth magnets, although we do offer other options based on your needs. For optimum safety, metal-detectable gaskets and grommets are standard in the housing of in-line magnets. All of our pneumatic units come with a lock out tag out feature, allowing operators to lock the unit in order to prevent injury or tampering from personnel. All of our pneumatic units come with a sensor backplate, so operators can install a sensor to tell them when the magnet is open or when the magnet was last cleaned. This helps operators know if it is safe to run their product, or if maintenance is keeping up with cleaning. Our in-line magnets excel at removing ferrous fines as well as larger pieces of tramp metal contamination from your material, and extensive customization options are available. Additionally, Bunting’s units are designed to prevent the product from degradation and do not cause it to splinter.
Center-flow in-line magnetic separators are engineered to remove ferrous fine particles and larger pieces of tramp iron from dry particulates as they travel through dilute-phase pneumatic conveying lines. To achieve optimum contact with the product flow, a conical magnet is suspended in the center-line of the housing. This tapered, exposed-pole cartridge has a stainless steel “nose cone” to direct the flow of materials around the magnet. The magnet’s tapered poles allow ferrous fine particles to collect out of the direct air stream. Additionally, the trailing end of the magnet is an active pole which will collect any tramp metal that gets swept down the cartridge. The magnet’s shell is designed to give long magnetic exposure to dry powders in order to ensure your product achieves maximum magnetic separation.
