Evenly Distribute Contaminant-Free Feed for Continuous Operation and Minimal Maintenance
The Self-Cleaning Magnetic Rotary Feeder is designed for continuous, automated operation, featuring an autonomous cleaning system that removes ferrous contaminants without manual intervention. It employs a wiper or air-blast mechanism to clear the magnetic surface, ensuring a steady flow of materials and reducing production downtime. Constructed with high-strength rare earth magnets and robust stainless steel, it is durable and effective for high-capacity processing in industries like food, plastics, and chemicals. This feeder enhances production efficiency, cuts labor costs, and minimizes the risk of cross-contamination. For processes requiring frequent manual cleaning, the Quick-Clean Rotary Feeder offers a manual pull-and-clean system for easy maintenance and quick turnaround times.

How It Works
Magnetic Separation Process
MPI’s Manual Clean Plate Magnets utilize high-intensity magnetic fields to capture and retain ferrous contaminants as materials pass over their surface. These magnets are engineered to protect downstream equipment and preserve product integrity in various bulk material handling scenarios.
Material Flow & Magnetic Attraction: As the product moves across the plate magnet, ferrous contaminants (including iron filings, metal shavings, and tramp metal) are attracted and securely retained on the magnet’s surface.
Single Step & Double Step Design:
Single Step Plate Magnets slightly divert the product stream, ensuring contaminants are drawn away from the primary material flow.
Double-step plate Magnets provide an enhanced separation mechanism, creating additional trapping points for contaminants and facilitating the removal of finer metal debris.
Optimized Magnetic Holding Power: Utilizing Magnetic 400 series stainless steel pole areas enhances magnetic efficiency, ensuring that even the smallest ferrous particles adhere firmly to the magnet's surface.
Sanitary & Easy Installation: MPI Plate Magnets come equipped with hinges, latches, and mounting hardware, making for quick and secure installation in existing processing lines. The hinged mounting system allows for easy access during maintenance and cleaning.
Effective in Deep Product Streams: The strong magnetic field penetrates product flows up to 8 inches deep, making it suitable for bulk material processing applications where contamination control is essential.
Versatile Mounting & Placement
MPI Manual Clean Plate Magnets are designed for flexible installation, ensuring optimal separation efficiency across multiple processing environments:
Above Conveyor Belts: Mounted over material flow to capture ferrous contaminants before they reach grinders, crushers, or downstream equipment.
Inside Chutes or Hoppers: Installed within gravity-fed or pneumatic transfer systems to eliminate tramp metal from bulk materials.
Inline Processing Applications: Positioned within product flow paths to avert metal contamination in food processing, recycling, plastics, and pharmaceutical industries.
Cleaning Process
Automated Contaminant Capture – Ferrous materials are pulled from the material flow and retained by the plate magnet.
Pneumatic Cleaning System – The self-cleaning mechanism automatically removes and discharges contaminants at scheduled intervals without stopping material flow.
Contaminated material flows over the magnetic plate, where metal particles are captured.
The automated cleaning cycle activates mechanically removing contaminants.
Collected debris is directed into a disposal bin for easy waste management.
