Plate Magnets

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

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.
