Captures ferrous contaminants from pneumatic conveying systems without interrupting product flow. Its powerful rare earth magnetic circuit and streamlined housing maintain line pressure while protecting downstream equipment.

Efficiently captures ferrous contaminants from gravity-fed product streams. Its tapered step magnet design ensures maximum tramp metal removal even in tight spaces, maintaining smooth product flow and protecting downstream equipment.

Heavy-duty cylindrical magnet housed in stainless steel. Ideal for removing large tramp metal from high-volume gravity flow applications.

Inline Magnets are magnetic separators used to remove ferrous contaminants from materials conveyed through pipelines. Designed for both gravity-fed and pneumatic systems, they support a wide range of industrial applications, including food processing, plastics, ceramics, and bulk material handling.

Constructed from durable stainless steel, Inline Magnets are available in standard, food-grade, and sanitary models to meet USDA and FDA requirements. Depending on the model, they feature either side-mounted plate magnets (as in Gravity and Pneumatic Inline Magnets) or centrally located cartridge or cone-style magnets (as in center-flow) to ensure efficient metal capture.

Available with either Ceramic or Neodymium Rare Earth magnets, these systems can be tailored to specific application needs. Ceramic magnets offer a wider but weaker field suitable for capturing larger metal pieces, while Neodymium magnets provide a stronger, more focused field ideal for fine metal particles.

Inline magnets are typically used in pipelines ranging from 50mm (2″) to 250mm (10″) in diameter, with custom sizes available. Many models feature easy-access doors or hinged housings for quick cleaning, minimizing downtime during maintenance.

Whether your goal is product purity, regulatory compliance, or equipment protection, Inline Magnets provide powerful, reliable magnetic separation that keeps your process running smoothly.

Minimal Product Flow Restriction Inline magnets are engineered to maintain smooth product flow, reducing the risk of blockages or material build-up during operation.

Targeted Magnetic Strength Equipped with Ceramic Ferrite or Neodymium Rare Earth magnets, inline magnets offer customizable magnetic fields.

Reliable Ferrous Metal Capture Strong magnetic fields ensure that captured metal remains firmly attached to the magnetic surface, even under high-flow conditions.

Quick & Easy Cleaning Most models feature hinged plates or removable cartridges, allowing for fast, tool-free cleaning during maintenance cycles.

Flexible Sizing & Installation Available for pipeline diameters from 50mm (2″) to 250mm (10″), inline magnets integrate easily into both new builds and retrofits.

Cross-Industry Versatility Ideal for food, plastics, ceramics, recycling, and bulk solids processing—inline magnets meet a wide range of contamination control needs.

Improved Product Safety By removing tramp metal, inline magnets help ensure product purity and compliance with industry safety standards like HACCP and FDA guidelines.

Reduced Maintenance & Downtime Durable, low-maintenance designs extend equipment life and minimize unscheduled production interruptions.
