Stronger magnets for separating metal contaminants
This company has released two new, stronger plate magnets (photo) for its magnetic separation equipment. The new models incorporate an improved magnetic circuit design, making these magnets even stronger than their predecessors. The plate magnets capture metal contaminants in chemical, food, packaging, pharmaceutical and other processing applications. Testing of the new, stronger Xtreme Rare Earth+ and Rare Earth+ plates demonstrated a significant increase in both surface Gauss value and pull test strength when compared to the company’s previous generation of rare earth plates. Plate magnets can be installed in chutes, spouts, ducts, pipes, or suspended over conveyors to remove tramp iron. — Eriez Manufacturing Co., Inc., Erie Pa.
