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

Our separators can be integrated directly into machines or installed on paper band filters, collection tanks, or reservoirs. They are suitable for full-flow or bypass operation. We offer mounting kits and integration support.

What maintenance is required for pharmaceutical applications?

Minimal maintenance: permanent magnetic systems operate virtually maintenance-free. Periodic cleaning of magnetic elements depending on usage conditions – manual or automatic. Most maintenance can be performed without special tools.

What certifications does Alexander Magnettechnik have?

We have been successfully certified annually according to DIN ISO 9001 since 2003.

Can the systems be adapted to specific pharmaceutical requirements?

Yes. We offer custom-built special solutions tailored to customer requirements. Various optional components are available: powered pressure rollers, inlet hoppers, sludge chutes, sludge tanks, and more.

What materials are used?

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

Magnetic separator for the pharmaceutical industry

Solutions for typical pharmaceutical challenges

Our magnetic solutions address common issues in pharmaceutical production and provide sustainable, efficient results.

Use cases & applications

Our magnetic separators and filtration systems are used at critical control points in pharmaceutical production to remove ferromagnetic particles from production media, washing, and cleaning solutions. Typical applications include processing lines for pharmaceutical powders, granulates, and tablets, emulsion and liquid processing, cleaning solutions for production equipment, as well as decentralized and central media preparation. Other applications include filtration of cooling lubricants in pharmaceutical machining, purification of hydraulic oils and lubricants, and removal of metal particles from reaction media. These systems protect sensitive pharmaceutical products from metal contamination, ensure consistent product quality, and significantly reduce maintenance requirements. By removing steel shavings, iron particles, and other ferromagnetic contaminants, production equipment is protected, product purity is improved, and downtime is minimized. They can be seamlessly integrated into existing pharmaceutical processes and are flexibly configurable, from small-batch to large-scale continuous production, to meet varying throughput and quality requirements. Our magnetic filters handle flow rates from a few liters up to several thousand liters per minute and can operate in both full-flow and bypass modes.

How we solve it

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

Foreign particles and contamination in pharmaceutical production processes

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

Damage to sensitive pharmaceutical products caused by metal particles

Targeted magnetic separation reduces particle inclusions. Permanent magnetic systems reliably protect downstream processing equipment with virtually no performance degradation.

High maintenance effort and downtime in pharmaceutical production

Permanent magnetic systems maintain performance without loss and operate safely with practically no additional maintenance costs. Systems are available with either manual or automatic cleaning.
