Magnetic Separation Solutions for the Food Processing and Packaging Industries
In food manufacturing, foreign metal contamination can originate from raw material sources, equipment wear, conveying systems, or manual processing errors. MPI’s magnetic separators and detection technologies are mission-critical for:
Complying with FDA, USDA, FSMA, and GFSI regulations
Protecting consumer health
Preventing product recalls
Maintaining brand integrity
MPI solutions are integrated across all key production stages—from raw ingredient receiving and bulk handling to grinding, mixing, forming, cooking, and final packaging—to remove ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants before the product reaches the consumer.
MPI’s magnetic separation, detection, and inspection technologies ensure safe, contaminant-free food from ingredient receiving to final packaging. Whether handling powders, pastes, liquids, or finished goods, MPI solutions:
Prevent recalls
Protect equipment
Ensure FSMA/GFSI/HACCP compliance
Support brand and regulatory standards
Safeguard consumer health

Prevents Recalls and Protects Consumers
Powerful magnets and metal detectors remove physical hazards such as screws, blades, or wire fragments—reducing the risk of product withdrawal or injury.
Ensures Regulatory and Audit Compliance
MPI products are designed to meet stringent sanitation, allergen control, and HACCP compliance standards, with traceable documentation and audit-ready performance.
Captures Even Fine and Weakly Magnetic Particles
High-intensity rare earth magnets capture fine, rust-like, or processing-induced particles often missed by standard filtration systems.
Sanitary, Food-Grade Construction
All contact surfaces are made of polished 304/316 stainless steel with food-safe gaskets, tool-free access, and welded seams for hygienic washdown environments.
Minimizes Downtime with Easy-Clean Designs
Quick-clean and self-clean models reduce cleaning time during sanitation cycles or product changeovers, supporting lean production goals.
Customizable for Wet, Dry, Liquid, or Pneumatic Lines
MPI solutions can be tailored to match specific ingredient formats, flow rates, or system layouts, accommodating powders, flours, granules, liquids, slurries, or vacuum transfers.
Supports Brand Integrity and Customer Contracts
Metal-free product ensures quality assurance for private label, contract manufacturing, and retail compliance with major grocery and foodservice customers.
Combined Systems for Complete Protection
MPI integrates magnetic separation, metal detection, and x-ray inspection into layered safety systems for full-spectrum contaminant detection.
