Protect your product. Protect your equipment. Protect your brand.
MPI’s engineered magnetic separation and metal sorting solutions safeguard your manufacturing process, from when raw materials arrive to the final packaged product leaving your door.
Where to Use Magnetic Separation & Metal Sorting
Below is an easy-to-follow roadmap showing where to place MPI solutions, which products to choose, and why they matter at each stage of your production flow:
Receiving and Incoming Material Check
Goal: Stop tramp metal at the dock.
Ideal Products:
- Receiving Drawer Magnet — captures metal from bag dump stations and bulk hoppers.
- Plate Magnet — installed on incoming conveyor belts.
- Handheld Magnet — quick spot checks for bins and trucks.
Benefit: Protects all downstream equipment and ensures clean raw material starts your process right.
Primary Processing and Bulk Handling
Goal: Remove large tramp metal from high-volume flows.
Ideal Products:
- Suspended Magnet — mounted above belts to lift metal off conveyors.
- Magnetic Drum or Pulley — continuously separates metal from bulk solids.
- Gravity Plate Magnet — metal control for chutes and spouts.
Benefit: It stops big metal before it hits crushers, grinders, or mixers, lowering wear and maintenance costs.
In-Process Production Line Protection
Goal: Capture fine wear metal and small ferrous fragments during processing.
Ideal Products:
- Drawer Magnet (Manual, Quick-Clean, Self-Clean) inline for powders, grains, and pellets.
- Inline Pneumatic Drawer Magnet — for vacuum or pressure conveying.
- Liquid Trap Magnet — protects pumps, valves, and nozzles in sauces, slurries, or oils.
Benefit: Keeps your ingredients metal-free and production sanitary — critical for food, pharma, and premium goods.
Finishing and Pre-Packaging
Goal: Polish product purity before entering the bag, can, or box.
Ideal Products:
- Finishing Drawer or Plate Magnet — final capture point before filling.
- Magnetic Tube Insert — drop into filter housings for added polishing.
Benefit: Ensures customer-ready products meet safety and brand standards, reducing recalls and complaints.
Final Inspection and Metal Sorting
Goal: Verify zero contamination and recover any stray metal or valuable scrap.
Ideal Products:
- Combination of Metal Detector & Checkweigher — dual safeguard for packing weight and contamination.
- X-Ray Inspection System — detects non-ferrous and stainless contaminants missed by magnets.
- Automated Sorting System — Eddy current and drum separators reclaim metal for recycling revenue.
Benefit: Total peace of mind for your customer, and higher ROI by turning scrap into dollars.
