Trusted by leading pet food producers worldwide, these solutions reduce contamination risks, protect pets, and safeguard brand reputation while ensuring a high-quality final product.
Consider the following when considering the appropriate magnets for Pet Food/Animal Nutrition products:
- What heat rating does the magnet have and will it be suitable for the temperature of your product?
- What measures have been taken to compensate for abrasive products – e.g. meat & bone meal?
- Is the magnet design sanitary and compliant?
- Is the magnet simple clean and maintain?
- Does the separator assembly comprise of high grade magnetics (such as RE80®) to ensure longevity and maintaining of the magnet strength?
- What design criteria is in place to ensure effective magnetic separation is achieved without blockages?
- What means are taken to ensure magnet strength is maintained over time?
- Does the magnet comply with current HACCP and best practice standards (e.g. 0909MAGSEP 2-2021)?
- Is the magnet supplied with adequate certification?
Applications include:
- Dry products, such as kibble, freeze dried and dehydrated pet foods
- Wet products, such as canned pet foods and gravy
- Raw meats, emulsive and chunky
USDA Acceptance
Magnattack received a USDA Dairy Acceptance Certification in 2015 for special models of the Mag-Ram® Self Cleaning Separator, Rapidclean® Drawer Magnet, Round Pipe Separator, and the Powder Transfer Magnet.

Trusted by Industry Experts
Animal Nutrition and Pet Food
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.
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.
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).
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.
Mag-Stride® Magnetic Mats
The magnetic mat stops the transfer of ferrous metal fragments in sensitive processing and workshop areas at both entry and exit points. Easy to install and clean, it offers an additional layer of safety for every plant or manufacturing space.
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.
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.
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.
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® 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.
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.
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.Talk to an Expert
