Our commitment to innovation, quality, and customer support ensures you receive tailored solutions that meet your specific processing needs. From powders and granules to liquids, Magnattack magnetic separators provide powerful solutions to improve product purity, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Trusted Contaminant Control for
Highly Sensitive Applications
Our high-intensity magnetic separators are specifically designed to capture and remove fine metal contaminants that could compromise product safety and quality. This level of precise contaminant control supports product consistency and builds consumer trust. Magnattack® magnetic separators meet the stringent requirements of FDA, USDA and HACCP standards, providing an essential layer of protection that reinforces both regulatory compliance and product integrity.
There are several things to take into consideration when selecting a magnetic separator for sensitive powder and liquid applications. These include:
- Is the magnet of sanitary design and build?
- Is it compliant with USDA specifications?
- Is the cleaning process sanitary and simple to ensure the least possible intrusion to the product zone?
- Can it be easily accessed for cleaning (if a manual-clean design)?
- In the case of difficult-to-flow products, what means are taken to prevent build-up and binding of cleaning mechanisms?
- Is the magnet resistant to abrasion?
- Does the separator assembly consist of high grade magnetics (such as RE80®) to ensure longevity and maintain 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 proper certification?
Constructed with high-grade stainless steel and high-strength magnetic materials, our separators are corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and built to withstand the demands of pharmaceutical and cosmetic production. Each unit is designed to meet strict hygienic standards, ensuring no compromise on product safety.
Our magnetic separation systems are also optimized for fine powders, granules, and liquid processing, as commonly required in these industries. With innovative designs, they remove contaminants efficiently without disrupting product flow, enabling continuous, high-quality production.

Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.Talk to an Expert
