Designed to be suspended above open conveyors to remove ferrous objects and fines

Food-grade, sanitary, and USDA-approved finishes are available to meet your production safety regulations.

Plate magnets are essential tools for effective metal separation in a variety of industrial applications. Designed to capture ferrous contaminants from bulk materials, these magnets play a crucial role in maintaining product quality and protecting processing equipment from damage caused by metal debris.

Made from high-quality materials, Plate Magnets are available in both ceramic and rare-earth magnet options, allowing users to choose the right strength for their specific needs. With magnetic strengths of up to 10,000 gauss, these magnets ensure efficient removal of iron contaminants and ferrous particles from dry powders, moist materials, and clumpy substances.

Plate magnets are particularly versatile, making them suitable for a range of industries, including food processing, plastics manufacturing, ceramics, and mining. They can be installed in various configurations—such as suspended above conveyor belts or integrated into chutes—ensuring seamless operation within existing systems.

One of the key advantages of plate magnets is their ease of maintenance. Many models feature hinged designs that allow for quick and straightforward cleaning, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent performance. Their durable construction, often made of stainless steel, guarantees longevity and reliability even in demanding environments.

Whether you’re looking to enhance product safety, improve operational efficiency, or comply with industry regulations, Plate Magnets provide a reliable solution for separating ferrous metals.
