Plate Magnets

Eriez Magnetic Plate Magnets are used in the bottom of an inclined chute or suspended above a thin burden of material on a belt conveyor or stainless steel vibratory feeder to remove ferrous contamination. Self cleaning plate magnets, as well as Magnetic Hump, Round Pipe Separator, and Deep Reach Separator designs are also available.

Eriez Permanent Plate Magnets provide dependable and economical solutions to problems associated with tramp iron contamination in processing lines. Plate Magnets installed in chutes, spouts, ducts, pipes, or suspended over conveyors remove tramp iron to help prevent costly shutdowns associated with machinery damage, prevent spark– caused fires and explosions, prevent product contamination and improve product purity.

Features & Benefits:

• All stainless-steel construction
• Welded Construction
• 1/2″ high milled 400 series tapered step
• Hinge and latch
• Super Power, Maxi Power and BrutePower Plate ceramic plate magnets for small to large tramp iron
• Rare Earth+ and Xtreme Rare Earth+ plate magnets for fine ferrous contamination

Typical plate magnet installations involve free flowing products cascading down a sloped chute. Use the selection guideline above for thin burdens (up to 5-inches (127 mm)) and slow product flows. Typical installations locate the magnet near the chute entrance to take advantage of the products reduced velocity. For optimum performance, magnets require cleaning at regular intervals. Install them in a readily accessible location.

Eriez Plate Magnet Standard Construction

• All Stainless Steel
  For best resistance to wear from corrosive materials and atmospheres. Suitable for many food processing applications where the strictest sanitary requirements do not apply.
• Welded Construction
  Each Eriez Plate Magnet is welded for the most demanding environments. This rugged design will last for years of continuous service.
  
• Milled Stainless Steel Step
  One upstream 400 series stainless steel tapered step provides a magnetic and physical barrier to provide superior removal and retention of fine ferrous contamination.
• Mounting Hardware
  Standard hinged units include a heavy duty stainless steel hinge, zinc plated latch and latch mounting hardware for simple installation and easy maintenance.
