Pneumatic Line Magnet

Used to remove fine metal contaminants in dilute-phase pneumatic conveying, MPI Pneumatic Line Magnets boast a sanitary design in all product contact areas, quick-release DE-STA-CO clamps for easy opening and closing, 100% stainless steel construction, and powerful Rare Earth magnet material. A new and improved food-grade silicone gasket offers a positive seal which virtually eliminates the need to replace gaskets. MPI provides a seam-welded magnetic stainless steel “raised” pole design that improves tramp metal retention between cleaning as compared to similar units.

Maximum tramp metal retention:
- Seven (7) magnetic poles ensure maximum product exposure to a magnetic field and tramp metal holding surface area
- Poles are raised to ensure that captured tramp metal is retained between cleanings holding it outside of direct product flow eliminating potential “wash off”
- 52-55 MGOe rare earth magnetic cartridge
Easy clean design with removable magnetic core allows the magnet to operate at maximum performance between cleanings. To clean:
- Unlatch clamps, open door and turn magnet 90 degrees
- Pull magnet cartridge towards operator until removed from the housing. With magnet removed, tramp metal will fall onto the housing door for collection.
- Replace magnet cartridge, turn 90 degrees to lock back into place and clamp system closed
Sani-TIGHT Seal™ Gasket:
- Type: Compression style “O-ring” cord gasket (Optional metal detectable)
- Sealing plate: ½” thick machined stainless channel
- 100% Positive seal, cannot be over-compressed
- Sanitary: Gasket can be removed and replaced for wash-down, no adhesive required
DE-STA-CO clamps:
- Quick and easy access to inspect and clean magnet
- Maintains positive seal during operation and does not allow for over tightening

Designed for operating pressures of 15 PSI

Hinged access door:
- Support provides safe and lightweight inspection for operators
Various cart and connection systems available:
- Available in various cart and connection designs to fit any application

Description

How Pneumatic Line Magnets Work:

MPI Pneumatic Line Magnets are easy to install in vertical or horizontal piping. A quick-clean removable magnet element allows for rapid and easy removal of tramp metal. Its raised pole design prevents metal “wash-off” contrary to other smooth surface models. Typical applications include powder or granular food products, pharmaceuticals, plastics and chemicals conveyed at high speeds in low density, high-air systems.
