Application

MPI's exclusive “Self-Cleaning” Magnetic Chutes (MC-SC Series) are designed to remove medium- to large-size ferrous tramp metal contaminants from high-volume product flows in gravity-fed vertical chutes, such as grain, chemicals, foods and powders. MC-SC Series magnets are ideal for use with heavy product flows which would otherwise bridge or choke if filtered through magnetic grates. Magnetic Chutes help protect milling, processing and packaging equipment, as well as improve product quality.

Operation:

The product stream flows between two large, powerful permanent magnets located on either side of the chute. A center diverter directs the product flow toward the two magnetic faces, which are “stepped” to minimize tramp metal “wash-off.” Tramp metal contaminants are pulled form the product stream and attach themselves to the magnetic face. The pneumatically operated cleaning shell safely removes the tramp metal from the product stream to a disposal area outside the chute.

Standard Features:

• Powerful Ceramic magnet material
• Safety guards, air filters and NEMA 9 enclosed solenoids as standard equipment
• Closed cell gasket for a positive seal
• Center diverter and stepped magnetic faces to maximize tramp iron removal

Optional Features:

• High energy Rare Earth magnet material
• 316L stainless steel construction
• Tramp metal collection trays
• NEMA 2 through 13 electrical enclosures
• Non-standard alloy stainless steel designs
• Chute transition adapters
