The Future of Magnetic Separation
MPI’s Kyle Rhodes and Kris Tennyson spent some time with Steven Kilger of Feed and Grain Magazine discussing the importance of an effective magnetic separation and metal control system in food and bulk material processing, the disruptive nature of MPI’s Intell-I-Mag® technology, and the future of magnetic separation.
How to Keep Scrap Shaker Conveyors Running at Peak Performance
Efficient, reliable clearing of scrap from metal stamping presses is critical to overall plant productivity and profitability. Scrap systems designed to provide this valuable function must be properly designed, engineered, installed and operated to deliver trouble-free operation. Keep your shaker conveyor running at peak performance.
Five Things To Consider When Purchasing Product Inspection Equipment
The decision to install a new product inspection system or to upgrade an existing one is usually determined by one of two things: you either have the corporate commitment and financial resources to do what it takes to have the best inspection system for your particular product; or you have been mandated to do so in order to meet a specific regulatory requirement with financial constraints limiting your options. Regardless of why you’re exploring product inspection equipment, you should take into consideration each of the following tips before making any decision.
Know Your Application Before Being Pulled (Fooled) by the Strongest Magnet
First and foremost, you need to think about the details of your manufacturing application and the environment in which the magnet will function, then you can determine which magnet is best for your separation process. It is advisable to consult with a magnetic separator supplier who has expertise and historical knowledge of which systems work and which do not.
How to Lower the Cost of Ownership for Product Inspection while Improving Quality
The cost of compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the topic of discussion in board rooms and budget meetings across the nation. Focusing on the prevention of foodborne illnesses, FSMA’s goal is to get ahead of the contamination or adulteration in an attempt to avoid the costly public recalls, garner consumer trust and dispel the negative perception of the FDA and our nation’s food supply. It makes perfect sense to be proactive. Learn how to lower the cost of ownership for product inspection while improving quality to avoid the risk of product recalls.
Pull Strength Testing is Better Than Gauss Strength Testing And Here is Why
When a magnet’s strength increases over time, that is NOT a good thing. Testing your magnets’ strength will allow you to monitor their performance.
Gauss Test vs. Pull Test; What You Really Need to Know
In a world where people are becoming more aware of product safety and purity, magnet testing is an absolute must for any food facility. There are two methods to measure a magnet’s strength, Gauss and Pull Strength. Both methods can define a magnet’s circuit design and field gradient; we will discuss the difference and when to use each.
