Sanitary Tool-Less Drawer Magnet

MPI’s new patent-pending Sanitary Tool-Less Drawer Magnet (ILGDM) is ideally suited to capture small contaminants, such as wire, metal shavings and metal wear from dry powder or granular free-flowing product streams in gravity-fed vertical chutes. Used in primary, secondary or finishing applications, this next generation drawer magnet delivers the highest levels of equipment protection and product purity.

  • Patent Pending Sanitary Design:
    • Locking tubes do not require fasteners and leave no cracks or crevasses
    • No fasteners in the working area for proper sanitary design
    • Allows toolless maintenance and sanitation (safety fasteners included for self-clean models)
  • Stripper Block:
    • Tool-less cartridge-style stripper design for quick and easy replacement and sanitation
    • Fixed outside product flow to prevent jams and cleaning of tubes in product flow
    • Dual stripper design to remove ferrous fines commonly left behind by single stripper designs
    • Material: FDA approved UHMW & Buna
  • Cleaning Cycle:
    • Start: Unlatch the drawer and pull the magnetic tubes through the stripper assembly to deposit
      the collected tramp iron from the magnetic tubes into the collection tray
    • Finish: Push the magnetic tubes back through the stripper assembly into the housing (working
      position) and re-latch the drawer
  • Sani-TIGHT Seal™ Gasket
    • Type: Compression style “O-ring” cord gasket
    • Sealing plate: ½” thick machined stainless plate
    • 100% Positive seal, cannot be over-compressed
    • Sanitary: Can be removed for wash-down, no adhesive
      required
    • Material: FDA approved silicon
  • Easy Grip T-handles
  • Rear Access Panel:
    • For easy inspection and maintenance
  • Tramp Iron Collection Tray:
    • Attachment: Removable cantilever tray
    • Locking notch prevents the tray from vibrating loose
  • Robust Drawer Tracking:
    • Type: DualVee guide wheels
    • Material: Stainless steel square bar and wheels
    • Design: Self-cleaning for harsh environments
    • Stops: (3)
      • Stop 1: For regular cleaning, factory default
      • Stop 2: For replacing the stripper mechanism or
        sanitation, tool-less
      • Stop 3: For replacing magnetic tubes, tools required

Description

How the Sanitary Tool-Less Drawer Magnet Works:

The product stream flows through a series of 1” diameter magnetic tubes designed to create an extremely effective magnetic circuit. Each row of magnetic tubes is staggered to prevent bridging or choking of the product stream and to maximize magnetic filtration as product flows through the housing. Tramp metal contaminants are attracted to the magnetic tubes. The manually operated cleaning system safely removes tramp metal from the product stream to a disposal area outside the product flow area.
