Plate Magnets
Ceramic
Ceramic Plate Magnets are ideal for capturing large ferrous such as nuts and bolts in heavy product flows more
Rare Earth
Rare earth plate magnets capture large and fine ferrous in light to moderate product flows more
Hybrid
Hybrid plate magnets capture large and fine ferrous in heavy product flows more
Plate Magnets
Plate Magnets are used in gravity-fed angled chutes. Single Step and Double Step Plate Magnets are designed to remove tramp metal from your product and eliminate the possibility of wash-off back into the product stream. Stainless steel pole areas maximize the holding power of the magnets. These Plate Magnets are easily installed and are supplied complete with sanitary hinges, latches, and mounting hardware. The strong magnetic field is effective in product streams up to 8” deep.
- In addition to ceramic and rare earth designs, MPI’s exclusive hybrid circuit (Hi-G Hybrid) is available for highest industry performance
- Custom engineered for the material burden depth in your chute, ensuring 100% protection
- Single and double step options optimize tramp metal collection and prevent wash-off
- Options include quick-clean and self-cleaning designs
Standard Features
- 100% Stainless steel enclosed design
- Permanent magnet material – will not demagnetize

How Plate Magnets Work
MPI’s Single Step and Double Step Ceramic Plate Magnets are designed to divert the product stream away from the magnet surface while allowing tramp metal to be magnetically attracted to the magnet’s surface behind the collection steps. Magnetic 400 series stainless steel pole areas maximize the holding power of the magnets. These Plate Magnets are easily installed and are supplied complete with sanitary hinges, latches, and mounting hardware. The hinged mounting design permits quick, easy cleaning of the magnet surface. The strong magnetic field is effective in product streams up to 8” deep.
