Plate Magnet - Stainless Steel, 4 To 72 Inches | Removes Ferrous Metals, Protects Equipment, Improves Product Purity

Eriez' offers a broad range of Plate Magnets which remove unwanted ferrous metals, protect equipment from damage and improve the downstream processing purity of your product. Eriez plate magnets are available in five magnetic strengths. These magnets can be installed in chutes, feed tables and over conveyor belts. Sizes range from 4 to 72-inches (102 to 1828mm) and are available in stainless steel and sanitary construction, with tapered steps and removable face plates.

The use of permanent magnetic separators helps draw out fine tramp metal along critical points of the production line. These separators come in different styles and in various magnetic strengths, depending upon the application. Periodically, they all need to be tested to monitor magnet performance.

Most industrial magnet manufacturers have adopted standard test equipment that measures the holding force of a magnet. Periodic testing of magnets helps determine whether a magnet needs to be repaired, upgraded or replaced. Here are some rules to follow to make sure you are using standard operating procedure when field testing magnetic strength to attain the most accurate results.
