Metal Control Solutions for the Powder and Bulk Solids Industry
Even tiny metal contaminants can lead to equipment damage, product defects, dust explosions, or regulatory non-compliance in the powder and bulk solids industry. MPI’s magnetic separation and material handling products are used throughout:
Raw material intake
Blending, conveying, and processing
Packaging and bagging
Metal fines and tramp contaminants can originate from:
Incoming raw materials (minerals, chemicals, plastics, additives)
Abrasion in grinding, conveying, or milling equipment
Pneumatic transport wear
Poorly maintained hoppers or transfer lines
MPI solutions are installed to maximize powder and bulk solids plant safety, prevent downtime, ensure product quality, and protect expensive capital equipment.
MPI’s rugged, high-performance magnetic separators and detectors deliver:
Reliable contaminant control
Extended equipment life
Reduced risk of recalls or batch loss
Improved processing flow
Compliance with regulatory and safety standards
Whether you're handling minerals, fertilizers, cement, polymers, dry foods, or chemical powders, MPI’s solutions help keep your operations clean, efficient, and safe.
INDUSTRY GUIDE – Advancing Powder & Bulk Solids Processing Through Smarter Metal Control

Protects Downstream Equipment from Wear and Failure
MPI magnets capture metallic particles before they enter grinders, rotary valves, mixers, and packaging machinery in powder and bulk solids lines, reducing repair costs and process interruptions.
Prevents Defective or Contaminated Final Product
Metal fragments can cause clumping, streaks, and voids—MPI ensures a clean product, reducing rework and preserving brand quality.
Improves Process Efficiency and Flow Control
Magnetic separators help avoid buildup, blockages, or inconsistencies in pneumatic lines and gravity-fed chutes, maintaining continuous material flow.
Compatible with Dry, Semi-Moist, and Dusty Materials
Whether you handle fine powders, flakes, granules, or dense mineral charges, MPI systems are built to withstand abrasive and dusty conditions.
Complies with OSHA, NFPA, and Food Safety Regulations
MPI magnetic solutions support dust hazard mitigation and foreign material control in industries like chemicals, food, and agriculture.
Reduces Dust and Explosion Hazards
By removing metal that may strike, spark, or ignite dry airborne particles, MPI helps control ignition sources in hazardous dust environments in powder and bulk solids facilities.
Quick-Clean Designs for Minimal Downtime
Fast-cleaning options minimize labor and enable rapid product changeovers for facilities processing multiple powder types.
Custom Engineered for Harsh Environments
All MPI separators are constructed from durable stainless steel and can be configured for high temperatures, corrosive materials, or abrasive solids.
