Magnetic Separation

Main Content

Magnetic Separators from Eriez have been used in processing applications worldwide for over 80 years. Eriez magnetic separators are used in the packaging and processing industries in numerous applications, including food processing, chemical, plastics, and pharmaceutical applications. Our diverse range of magnetic separation products is also used in Heavy Industries and in Mining and Minerals Processing (MMP) applications.

& Concentration

Effectively separate, concentrate, and collect ferrous and nonferrous metal contaminants from material flows.

 

 

​​​​​​Integrating magnetic separation into industrial processing applications provides several benefits:

Removal of Metal Contaminants

Magnetic separators from Eriez are effective in removing “tramp metal”, which is any unwanted ferrous or even weakly magnetic nonferrous metal particles that may enter the product flow during processing. Common tramp metal examples include nuts, bolts, washers, hammers, needles, and even microscopic metal shavings or rust scaling. 

Improves Product Quality

Many industries, including food processing and lithium processing, have very strict regulations that require metal contamination to be below a very minuscule level. Integrating magnetic separators can help ensure compliance with these regulations, preventing costly recalls, fines, or other legal issues. 

 

 

Prevents Equipment Damage and Downtime

Tramp metal can damage downstream processing equipment. Crushers, grinders, mixers, and slicers can be damaged if the processed material contains metal. By removing these contaminants upstream, Eriez magnetic separators prevent costly equipment damage and the unprofitable downtime that is commonly associated with equipment repairs or replacement.
