Tube Magnets
Eriez Magnetic Tubes
Our tube magnets are the building blocks of our magnetic separation systems. Engineered with precision and backed by advanced simulation and testing, these magnets deliver powerful, reliable performance across a wide range of applications. Whether sold individually to be used as inspection tools or integrated into grates or traps, Eriez tube magnets offer unmatched versatility and srength.
We sell thousands every year, not just because they work, but because they work better! If you're looking for a magnetic solution that combines innovation, durability and a measurable performance improvement, Eriez tube magnets are the solution you can trust.

Why Is Tramp Metal Separation Critical?
- Enhance Product Purity and Quality
• Prevents final product contamination, ensuring compliance with industry standards and customer expectations
• Supports consistent product performance and downstream processing efficiency
- Protect Equipment and Reduce Downtime
• Shields crushers, grinders, conveyors, and other machinery from costly damage
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespan
- Ensure Workplace Safety
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanPrevents fires, explosions, and mechanical failures caused by metal-on-metal contact
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanReduces risk of injury to personnel from flying debris or malfunctioning equipment
- Maximize Resource Recovery and Efficiency
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanEnables the concentration and recovery of valuable materials, such as ferrous and nonferrous metals
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanImproves yield and profitability in recycling, mining, and processing operations
- Support Environmental and Regulatory Compliance
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanReduces waste and improves sustainability by reclaiming reusable metals
• Reduces unplanned maintenance and extends equipment lifespanHelps meet environmental regulations related to contamination and hazardous materials
What are Common Sources of Tramp Metal?
- Transport and Storage Containers
• Residual metal from railroad cars, ship holds, trucks, and bulk containers
• Loose or broken metal components from loading/unloading equipment
• Mechanical fasteners and components
- Wear and Erosion Byproducts
• Rust flakes, metal chips, and fine steel particles generated by:
• Abrasive wear from equipment surfaces and size reduction equipment
• Corrosion of structural components
• Frictional contact in high-wear zones
- Screws, Bolts, Nuts, Washers, and Other Hardware dislodged from:
• Conveyor systems
• Crushers, mills, and other processing machinery
- Naturally Occurring Metallic Debris
• Metal fragments embedded in raw materials (e.g., mined ores, recycled scrap)
• Geological inclusions such as magnetite or hematite
- Human-Related Contamination
• Accidental drops of tools or parts during maintenance
• Intentional sabotage or negligence by disgruntled employees
