Services

Magnetic Products, Inc. (MPI) has a long tradition of providing unrivaled service to our customers, consultants and engineering firms, and to the industries with which we work. From specific technical expertise to special custom solutions, we assist customers to meet their goals.

We offer four important services that highlight our commitment.

Product Testing (free)

MPI offers free product testing to ensure that proper application and separation equipment is selected for each job. We simulate real-world conditions in our in-house lab, using customer-supplied samples and MPI separation equipment. MPI tests products and presents a report, which identifies the parameters of the test and the results. If requested, samples are returned to the original source, with removed tramp metal packaged separately.

Product testing confirms that proper separation equipment is selected. Often, materials contain para-magnetic trace elements that can be confirmed only by testing. Product characteristics often limit flowability and capacity. Product testing ensures the proper size and configuration of Magnetic Separators. The method of feeding product is important to the overall results of a Magnetic Separator. Product testing can reaffirm results.

Magnet Audits (free)

Magnetic Products offers free Magnet Audits. To ensure Magnetic Separators meet the standards and requirements of our industry and our customer base, we offer a detailed audit of all magnetic separation equipment conducted at our clients’ specific plant locations. These audits serve as HAACP documentation, as well as meet plant requirement for QA standards.

The Magnet Audit involves identification of all magnets in a plant. A qualified MPI specialist will work with plant employees to develop a plan for auditing equipment. The MPI specialist will visit the plant and physically inspect each Magnetic Separator and measure its effective strength. An audit inspection report will be developed that identifies the equipment and reports findings. Priorities will be specified and photographs of the equipment will be taken. A formal report is issued shortly after the fieldwork, which provides an overview of the findings, an evaluation of each piece of equipment and a detailed inspection report. Equipment photographs are used as reference points. The findings are formally presented to plant QA personnel to determine if actions need to be taken.

If you are interested in conducting a Magnet Audit at your plant, please contact our customer service department by email at info@mpimagnet.com or by phone at 1.800.544.5930 (U.S./Canada only) or 248.887.5600 (outside U.S. and Canada).

Equipment Rebuilds

Often magnetic equipment can be rebuilt, rather than being replaced. In many cases, state-of-the-art magnetic components can be substituted to bring equipment to current standards. MPI has rebuilt magnetic conveyors, magnetic pulleys, eddy current rotors, oil-cooled electromagnets, magnetic drawers and magnetic chutes. Nearly every piece of magnetic equipment can be rebuilt. Often, we upgrade older Magnetic Separators with more current, higher strength Rare Earth magnetic components. Rebuilds are an excellent way to save time and money.

Installation

As well as installing new MPI equipment, our field service team can also remove and dispose of current conveyor lines.
