Plant Technology for Grain Loading

From project design to installation: efficient magnetic separation as the final safety check before dispatch.

Typical Application

Grain (several tons per day) passes through the separation plant during loading and is efficiently divided. Metal impurities are held back by hard-ferrite magnetic plates. These plates are designed for simple manual cleaning, allowing on-site maintenance by a single operator. Our magnetic separators for grain processing provide maximum safety in metal separation for malt houses, breweries, mills, and grain processing facilities. The robust stainless steel construction ensures durability and hygiene, while ergonomic maintenance doesn't interrupt production flow. The system is specifically designed for food industry requirements and meets all relevant hygiene standards for grain processing and beer production.

How It Works

Material flow division, magnetic separation, ergonomic cleaning. The magnetic plates are engineered so that adhering metal pieces remain attached even during high material throughput.

What We Offer

Field-proven magnetic separators for grain and related bulk solids.

Partial Flow Division

The grain stream is efficiently divided into two partial flows using a metal splitter – ideal for high throughput volumes.

Hard-Ferrite Magnetic Plates

Reliable separation of magnetizable metal parts – designed as a safety mechanism for minimal metal particle levels.

Ergonomic Maintenance

Magnetic plates mounted on rollers and rails: cleaned once weekly by one person – energy and time efficient.

Wear Optimization

Wiper plates and guides are designed for the abrasive grain flow; key wear parts are easily replaceable.

Product Flow Design

Precisely adjusted gap dimensions for different grain sizes ensure high separation efficiency and consistent material quality.

Complete In-House Development

Design, construction, and practical testing all performed in-house – immediate commissioning at the customer site.
