Trap Magnets
Eriez Permanent Magnetic Traps
These powerful, permanent magnetic Ferrous Traps provide protection for liquid lines and processing equipment. Preserve product purity by removing small particles of magnetic scale, rust, and fine iron contamination.
Protect your flow lines and products with the world’s finest liquid handling magnetic separators. Prevent abrasive wear and stop pumps from jamming to assure yourself a product free of iron contamination. Achieve the iron contamination protection your particular operation requires — whether it be a tiny 13 mm (1/2 inch) pipeline or a huge 762 mm (30 inch) diameter line.
All models of Ferrous Traps have a constant magnetic circuit designed to attract and hold iron contamination. Clean, simple designs with no moving parts. powerful, Eriez Trap Magnets perform well handling materials with temperatures up to 65°C (150°F), with special models available for temperatures to 454°C (850°F).
Xtreme® Traps
The Xtreme® style Rare Earth (RE) separators available from Eriez remove weakly magnetic and very fine iron contaminants. Develop a magnetic field up to 25 times the strength of conventional ceramic magnet material.
All models of Eriez trap magnets are available with Xtreme elements.
Some models are available in the North America Quick Ship program.
Installation & Capacities
Super B and L types can be installed in most any position. Units can be installed right side up, upside down, on side and on any angle.
Super B Model Traps
For 51 mm (2") through 102 mm (4") pipelines.
The magnetic element consists of a group of magnetic tubes, arranged to cause the material flow entering the body. Impinge against the tubes and filter through the magnetic field, completely covering the open area.
This arrangement takes advantage of the material change in direction and the difference in inertia between the unwanted iron and the material carrying it. The magnetic circuit is designed so the entrapped iron will have a tendency to work around and cling to the down-stream side of the tubes. This action prevents iron particles from being washed off by the continuous flow of material.
Model L Traps
For 51 mm (2") pipelines.
This Ferrous Trap model has been designed to serve as an effective, low-cost, magnetic pipeline trap where operating conditions are not too severe.
This unit is constructed of 316 stainless steel, capable of withstanding pressures up to 10.5 kg/sq cm (150 psi). Built for 51 mm (2") pipelines, standard reducers can be used to adapt it to lines as small as 13 mm (1/2"). The powerful magnetic circuit is encased in one stainless steel tube. As a built-in safety factor, any material that might be brushed off by the flow will tend to pass the outlet and accumulate in the pocket at the end of the body.
Model L-2-F
Designed with a brass or optional stainless steel filter sleeve that fits around the magnetic tube, the L-2-F performs a dual separating operation. Magnetic power from the tube draws and holds fine iron contamination, while the filter element catches and holds nonmagnetic fines, lint, etc. This model is recommended where more than magnetic impurities contaminate a product.
Model U Traps
For difficult-to-flow products.
The Model U Trap utilizes a Rare Earth magnet circuit to remove fine and weakly-magnetic contamination like rust, scale, or screen wire. Remove ferrous contamination from difficult-to-flow or chunky products like vegetables, salsa, or meat batters.
The special body design of the Model U incorporates a gradually tapered transition that gently directs the product over a smooth magnetic surface. The body design does not incorporate diverters or baffles. This design works well for applications where finger–style traps would plug due to large product size or where delicate products would break if forced against a baffle.
Model T Traps
For 6" (152 mm) through 30" (762 mm) Pipelines
Reduce damage and maintenance to filters, pumps, refiners and other processing machinery handling paper, chemical slurries and other liquid materials. Rugged welded pipe and reinforced plate and tube construction withstands working pressures up to 75 psi (5.3 kg/sq cm). Model T Traps are primarily for upright installation in horizontal lines, however, they may also be mounted sideways, or in inclined or vertical lines.
