Food Processing
Mag-Ram® Automatic Self-Cleaning Magnet
This self-cleaning sanitary grate magnet is designed for installation at hopper outlets, in hard-to-reach areas needing magnetic separation, or where magnet cleaning is required at predetermined intervals. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Spherical Inline Pneumatic Transfer Magnet
This advanced magnetic separator features a powerful RE80® magnet exceeding 11,000 gauss, efficiently capturing weak magnetic fragments in high-velocity pneumatic transfer lines. Its large surface area on the back of the sphere keeps metal fragments retained and out of the product zone. Available in a dairy-grade, sanitary design.
Rapidclean® Drawer Magnet
Features a sanitary, dust-tight design, with cleaning performed outside of the product flow. Ideal for compact spaces, it efficiently removes weak materials such as work-hardened stainless steel and ferrous tramp metal using large-diameter bars that reach over 10,000 gauss. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Rapidclean® Rotary Magnet
Designed with RE80® magnet bar technology, its rotary action prevents bridging in the process stream while breaking down soft lumps and sticky materials. It is ideal for product flows prone to plugging and bridging in stationary magnetic grates. Available in a dairy-grade, sanitary design.
Rapidclean® Tubular Magnet
This easy-to-clean sanitary tubular grate magnet is ideal for compact spaces, integrating smoothly into tubular pipework without the need for transition pieces. It comes in both single-row and two-row versions, suited for applications ranging from 4″ to 12″. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Pressure Pipeline Separator
Engineered to effectively remove metal fragments from liquid food products, this magnet protects pumps, homogenizers, and sensitive equipment from metal fragment damage and increases product purity and quality. Available in a dairy-grade, sanitary design.
Emulsion and Slurry Pipeline Separator
Efficiently manages metal fragments in thick liquids, slurries, and emulsions, ensuring safety in industries such as dairy, pet food, and meat processing. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Round Pipe Separator
The Round Pipe Separator is designed to capture weakly magnetic contaminants from powder and dry product processing lines, enhancing product purity and protecting against foreign contamination risks. With a powerful +11,000 gauss RE80 magnet element concentrated at the base, it prevents magnetic fragments from bypassing the separator, ensuring maximum effectiveness. Available in bellied and straight-tube models, it offers features such as easy cleaning, high product-to-magnet coverage, and CIP compatibility. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Probe Magnets
Our high-intensity magnetic probes are perfect for inspecting incoming ingredients from suppliers and serve as indicator magnets for detecting metal contamination in food products. They can function as standalone units or be integrated into full magnetic separation systems, with installation kits available for easy setup in pipelines.
Lab Test Magnets
Magnattack® Lab Test Magnets, with magnetic strength of over 11,000 gauss, detect weakly magnetic materials, stainless steel fragments, and magnetic stones in both dry and wet food products. Available in Mini and Standard sizes, they identify contaminants rejected by metal detectors, improve efficiency and reduce contamination risks. These magnets are ideal for sample testing and can withstand temperatures up to 302°F (150°F).
Sanitary Powder Transfer Magnet
This product features two magnets positioned at 90-degree angles, providing comprehensive coverage for effective removal of fine particles. It is designed for vertical or sloping installations in dilute-phase pressure and vacuum product streams. This product carries a USDA acceptance certification and is available in a USDA Dairy accepted sanitary model.
Separation Shafts
The Separation Shafts are designed to maximize product-to-magnet contact, efficiently removing stainless steel splinters, magnetic stone fragments, and over 98% of tramp iron and ferrous fines from products.
Multi-Finger Receival Bin Magnets
The Multi-Finger Receival Bin Magnet, featuring multiple high-intensity RE80® Finger Bars, effectively protects crushers, de-stemmers, pumps, and screw flights from tramp iron contaminants like vine fencing staples, wires, nails, fasteners, metal brackets and tools, and machinery wear particles. Commonly used in winery grape receival areas, it minimizes expensive equipment damage and costly maintenance while reducing downtime. Customizable to meet specific installation requirements, tonnage rates, and product characteristics, it is powered by RE80 and RE80HT magnets certified to +11,000 gauss.
Plate Magnets
A wide-range of high-strength plate and chute magnets are available that are designed to protect mills, grinders, extruders, and other equipment from metal contamination. Featuring unique RE80® rare earth magnets, the plate magnets can be customized for various applications, including the innovative Bullnose/Round Nose and Dimple-Mag® Plate Magnets. These advanced designs provide superior metal extraction, enhance food safety, and reduce contamination risks in fast-flowing product streams.
Grate and Grid Magnets
Grate & Grid Magnets remove magnetic fragments from hoppers, chutes, ducts, and packing outlets. The grid or grate design enables the product to pass through powerful magnetic bars, while magnetic contamination is pulled underneath and securely held until the magnet is cleaned. Available in a dairy-grade, sanitary design.
