Plate Liquid Trap Magnet
Protect Liquid and Slurry Lines
MPI’s Trap Magnet — Plate Design — is designed to protect liquid and slurry lines and pumps by magnetically removing ferrous contaminants from liquid and slurry product streams. LPT Series Trap Magnets provide purification of liquids and tramp metal separation for a variety of wet food processing industries, from fluid and strained products to viscous and heavy fibrous products.

Plate Liquid Trap Magnet Product Details
How It Works
Liquid Trap Magnet — Plate Design
A baffle within the trap line directs the product flow toward the magnetic field, assuring that ferrous contaminants come into contact with the powerful magnet. The area within the trap is enlarged to slow the product stream and allow increased exposure to the entire magnetic surface. The suggested placement of the trap is in horizontal lines, with the magnet element facing “up” to simplify cleaning. After product flow is terminated, the magnet is easily cleaned by removing the tri-clover clamp, lifting the magnetic element and hand-cleaning the surface.
