How do I install a magnetic separator in my food production line?

Our separators can be integrated directly into machines or placed on paper band filtration systems, collection containers, or tanks. They are designed for full-flow or side-stream operation. We offer mounting kits and integration support.

What maintenance is required for food applications?

Minimal maintenance: Permanent magnetic systems operate virtually without further maintenance costs. Periodic cleaning of the magnetic elements depending on operating conditions – either manually or automatically. Most maintenance work can be performed without special tools.

Can the systems be adapted to specific food requirements?

Yes. We offer special solutions according to customer requirements, individual and functional. Various optional features are available: separately driven pressure rollers, inlet boxes, sludge chutes, sludge tanks, and much more.

Which materials are used?

The housing is made of V2A or higher-grade stainless steel. The magnetic neutrality of this material is very important. All components are designed for use in demanding food environments.

Magnetic separator for the food industry

Solutions for Typical Food Challenges

Our magnetic solutions address common problems in food production and offer sustainable, efficient solutions.

Applications & Areas of Use

Our magnetic separators and filter systems are used in food production at critical control points to remove ferromagnetic particles from raw materials, intermediate products, and end products. Typical areas of use include processing lines for grains, spices, herbs, and teas, powder and granule production, liquid processing and bottling plants, as well as decentralized and centralized media preparation. Further applications include the filtration of cooling lubricants in food processing, the cleaning of hydraulic oils and lubricants, and the removal of metal particles from production media. The systems protect sensitive food products from metal contamination, ensure constant product quality, and significantly reduce maintenance efforts. By removing steel chips, iron particles, and other ferromagnetic contaminants, processing plants are protected, product purity is improved, and plant downtimes are minimized. They can be seamlessly integrated into existing food processes and are flexibly configurable from small batch production to large-scale continuous production to meet different throughput and quality requirements. Our magnetic filters are suitable for flow rates from a few liters up to several thousand liters per minute and can be used in both full-flow and side-stream operation.

How We Solve It

Our magnetic systems remove foreign bodies, protect sensitive components, and operate virtually maintenance-free thanks to robust permanent magnet technology.

Foreign bodies and contaminants in food production processes

Our magnetic separators reliably remove ferromagnetic particles from liquid and solid media without production interruption. The systems operate in full-flow or side-stream mode and can be designed for a few liters up to several thousand liters per minute.

Damage to sensitive food products by metal particles

Targeted magnetic separation reduces particle inclusions. Permanent magnetic systems reliably protect downstream processing plants virtually without performance degradation.

High maintenance effort and downtimes in food production

Permanent magnetic systems operate without performance degradation and with great safety, virtually without further maintenance costs. Systems are available for manual or automatic cleaning.
