Magnetic separator for metalworking

Solutions for typical metalworking challenges

Our magnetic solutions address common problems in metalworking and provide sustainable, efficient results.

Use cases & applications

Our magnetic separators and filtration systems are used at key points in metalworking operations to remove ferromagnetic particles from coolants, oils, emulsions, and washing media. Typical applications include grinding, honing, and lapping machines, turning and milling machines, CNC equipment, machining processes, decentralized media preparation, central filtration systems, and surface treatment operations. Further applications include purification of coolants in steel processing, filtration of hydraulic oils and lubricants, and removal of metallic particles from washing and cleaning media. The systems protect sensitive metalworking machinery from contamination, ensure consistent product quality, and significantly reduce maintenance. By removing steel shavings, iron particles, and other ferromagnetic contaminants, tools are preserved, surface quality improves, and downtime is minimized. They can be seamlessly integrated into existing metalworking processes and configured flexibly—from small series to large-scale production—to meet various throughput and quality requirements. Our magnetic filters handle flow rates from a few liters to several thousand liters per minute and can operate in both full-flow and bypass modes.

How we solve it

Our magnetic systems remove contaminants, protect sensitive components, and operate virtually maintenance-free through robust permanent magnet technology.

Solution

Foreign particles and contamination in metalworking processes

Our magnetic separators reliably remove ferromagnetic particles from liquids without production interruption. Systems can operate in full-flow or bypass mode and are designed for flow rates from a few liters to several thousand liters per minute.
Solution

Damage to sensitive metalworking equipment caused by metal particles

Targeted magnetic separation reduces particle inclusions. Permanent magnetic systems reliably protect downstream processing equipment with no loss of performance.
Solution

High maintenance effort and downtime in metalworking

Permanent magnetic systems maintain consistent performance and operate safely with virtually no additional maintenance. Systems are available with manual or automatic cleaning.
