Self-Clean Plate Magnet With Housing (Inline Plate)

MPI’s Quick-Clean Plate Magnet with Housing (Inline Plate) is designed to provide enclosed magnetic protection for processing lines, ensuring efficient removal of ferrous contaminants from bulk materials. Its dust-tight housing prevents external contamination while allowing for seamless integration into gravity-fed, pneumatic, or mechanical conveying systems.

Enclosed Magnetic Protection

• As materials pass through the fully enclosed housing, the internal high-intensity plate magnet creates a strong magnetic field that attracts and holds ferrous contaminants such as metal shavings, nuts, bolts, and rust particles.
• The enclosed design ensures no external dust, debris, or moisture can compromise the purity of the material being processed.
• This feature is particularly beneficial in industries requiring sanitary conditions, such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and chemicals.

Contaminant Collection Process

• As the product stream flows over the magnetic plate, tramp metal contaminants are captured and held securely on the magnet’s surface, preventing them from continuing downstream.
• The optimized magnetic circuit maximizes the holding power of the magnet, ensuring even small, weak, magnetic particles are effectively removed.
• The housing design ensures uniform product flow, minimizing material buildup and allowing for efficient separation of contaminants.

Self-Clean Mechanism

• An automatic cleaning cycle for a magnet can be triggered either manually or at set intervals.
• This cycle employs a pneumatic or motor-driven mechanism to retract the magnetic plate or use a diverter plate to release collected contaminants, preventing their return to the material stream.
• The contaminants are directed to a designated collection area or discharge chute. After the cleaning process, the magnet returns to its operational position, ready to capture new contaminants while ensuring continuous material flow with minimal operator intervention.
