The Box Magnet is a compact magnetic separator installed in gravity or low-pressure feed lines to capture ferrous and iron-magnetic particles from flour, cereals and grains. It protects downstream equipment and improves product purity without requiring a separate circular separator housing.
The unit includes an access door with magnetic plates mounted inside. Product flows across the magnetic field where metal contaminants adhere until periodic cleaning.
Material passes through or over the magnetic box where high-strength magnets retain iron particles. The simple box geometry allows quick inspection and manual removal of collected metal from the door opening.
Box magnets are typically installed at strategic points where metal contamination risk is highest, such as after intake or before rollermills. Regular cleaning of magnetic surfaces maintains capture efficiency throughout the production week.
